Berlin dialect

Berlinerisch or Berlinisch is a dialect of German. It is not a dialect linguistically, but similar to Lausitzisch-neumärkisch and spoken in Berlin as well as the surrounding metropolitan area. It originates from a Brandenburgish variant. However, several phrases in Berlinisch are typical for and unique to the city, indicating the manifold origins of immigrants, among them the Huguenots from France.

The area of Berlin was one of the first to abandon East Low German as a written language (in the 16th century) and later also as a spoken language. This was the first dialect of Standard German with definite High German roots but a Low German substratum apparently formed (Berlinerisch may therefore be considered an early form of Missingsch). Only recently has this new dialect expanded into the surroundings which until then used East Low German.

Since the 20th century, Berlinerisch has been a colloquial standard in the surrounding Brandenburg region. However, in Berlin proper, especially in the former West Berlin, the dialect is now seen more as a sociolect, largely through increased immigration and trends among the educated population to speak standard German in everyday life.

Occasionally, the dialect is found on advertising.

Berlinerisch pronunciation is similar to that of other High German varieties. Nevertheless, it maintains unique characteristics that set it apart from other variants. Most notable are the strong contraction trends over several words and the rather irreverent adaptation of foreign words and Anglicisms that are difficult to understand among Upper German speakers. Also, the letter g is pronounced as a y-sound ([j]). This is exemplified in the word for good, in which gut becomes jut.
