Borbecksch is one of the variants of the South Westphalian dialects (German Südwestfälisch), which belong to Westphalian (Westfälisch), itself a variant of Low German (Plattdeutsch). Neighboring dialects are Essensch (in the city of Essen), Waddisch (in Werden) and Mölmsch (in Mülheim).
In fact, the true dialect of Borbecksch is not used anymore except for older people. Today efforts are made by some groups/associations to protect Borbecksch.
The best known representative of Borbecksch is Hermann Hagedorn.
