hamburgisch

1. Hamburgisch is a Low Saxon dialect and a variant of Northern Low Saxon language spoken in Hamburg, in Germany. It is a special city dialect with lots of anglicisms and Dutch expressions. "Hamburg" is pronounced "Hamborch" in this lowland dialect, with a "ch" similar to that in the Standard German word "Milch". Quite typical most subdialects of the hamburgian dialect is the use of eu (spoken oi) for the vowel , e.g.

keupen (hamb.) = kpen (standard northern low saxon) = kaufen (German) = to buy
Kauhwarderheuft = Kuhwerderhft (location)
scheun = schn = beautiful

The low saxon language in Hamburg is divided in several subdialects, e.g.

Finkwarder Platt
Olwarder Platt
Veerlanner Platt (with many sub-sub-dialects)
Barmbeker Platt

2. The term Hamburgisch is also used for Missingsch, a special dialect of high German with low German grammar and loanwords.
