'Moselle Franconian' is a group of
High German dialects spoken in the German states of
North Rhine-Westphalia and
Rhineland-Palatinate, in the neighbouring
département of
Moselle in
France, as well as in
Romania. Moselle Franconian is spoken in several North Rhine-Westphalian municipalities around
Siegen.
Luxembourgish is considered a form of Moselle Franconian by some observers while others only acknowledge the fact that Luxembourgish forms a dialect continuum with the corresponding Moselle Franconian dialects spoken on the German side of the border. Moselle Franconian is spoken in around half of the
Rhineland and is part of
Franconian West Central German.
