"Eastphalian" seems like the English translation of the language. Could someone let us know what it calls itself? -- Zoe
It's "Ostfälisch" in Standard German, but that's not a whole lot of help. Ethnologue doesn't give it a separate article, so that resource doesn't say. -- Toby 06:14 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC)
Regarding "Elbe Eastphalian" I have removed Eastern Germany and Aschersleben: - First, the area mentioned is part of the same region. After 18 years since the wall came down - there is no need to point out that this part belonged to the former GDR for a while and since it has little to no relevance for the existence of this dialect. - Secondly, Aschersleben seems do be a mistake. It is located right off the "border line" in an adjacent area, but where a central German dialect (Anhaltisch) is spoken. Most likely Oschersleben was meant, where the local Dr. Ziethen publishing house printed a number of books in Eastphalian dialect.
