Kölsche Wikipedia

I proposed a Wikipedia in Kölsch language in 2005. Read details in German and Kölsch. Once there, I promised to participate in writing. Next, there was a constantly growing Test Wiki at WiKoelsch for all the Ripuarian languages, including Kölsch. Thank You for your ongoing support! We have made it to the Ripuarian Wikipedia meanwhile.

Natural Languages

Grown up with

German, Kölsch, Gleueler Platt

School

Latin, English (major), Russian (minor), Italian, French (one year subminor each)

Current

German, English, Kölsch (fluent in speech, reading, writing) — Latin (mainly reading slowly) — Russian, Italian, Dutch, German dialects (slow reading, poor writing, and broken speech) — French (able to read, but not to understand, or speak)

Links

Notes

^ ^a ^b The phone [ʒ] occurs also often as a positional allophone of [j] or [ʝ] when a final [ʃ] or [ɧ] of a word stem is either followed by a vowel of a grammatical suffix or becomes voiced under the influence of a liaison or due to coarticulation. Under normal circumstances, the IPA symbols [j] or [ʝ] are used to transcribe these.
^ The phones [j] and [ʝ] are not distinguished in today's Colognian, but have different etymological roots.
^
The symbol "ˑ" marks the segment preceding it, beginning with the last preceding vowel, as bearing Schleifton. Schleifton is a tonal accent, unknown to English, having various properties:
- Stress. Unless its syllable has a primary or secondary stress mark, Schleifton always carries a 3rd level stress.
- Length. Usually, the length of a single vowel with Schleifton is between 'long' and 'short'. An English example would be between "User:Purodha/smp" and "User:Purodha/smp" in length.
- Suprasegmentality. Although basically put on vowels and diphthongs, Schleifton may extend into, or occasionally move onto sonorants following them.
- Tonal shape or contour. There are broad variations, following a somewhat complicated scheme of positional, segmental, suprasegmental, stress, and syntactic dependencies. As a rule of thumb the contour always ends at a different pitch than it begins with, it always has at least a rise+fall or fall+rise pattern, sometimes both, and it always incorporates changes of volume with a quick attack at the beginning, followed by a release which may result in a brief phase of silence, and a return to normal volume at the end.
There are three circumstances in which Schleifton accents occur:
1. Syntax. In rare occasions, a Schleifton may appear in a sentence or phrase as a result of the rules governing stress patterns or melodies of speech.
2. Grammar. Some Schleiftons are grammatical. Their presence or absence within some words distinguishes Plurals from Singulars, or comparisons in the same way, Umlauts or endings may do with other words.
3. Lexeme. Other Schleifton occurrences distinguish otherwise unrelated words from each other.
