Upper German dialects after 1945, with High Franconian in red and purple
1: East Franconian
2: South Franconian
High Franconian or Upper Franconian (German: Oberfränkisch) is a part of High German consisting of East Franconian and South Franconian.[1] It is spoken southeast of the Rhine Franconian area. It is spoken in Germany around Karlsruhe, Nuremberg, Erlangen, Fürth, Bamberg, Heilbronn, Meiningen and Würzburg and a small area in France. It is disputed whether it makes sense to summarise East and South Franconian because both are different.[citation needed]
High Franconian is transitional between Upper German and Central German but usually regarded as Upper German, with similarity to Yiddish.[citation needed]
