Trierisch

Trierisch is a dialect group spoken in the city of Trier. Colloquially, it is known as "Trier Platt". Trierisch belongs to the Moselle Franconian dialect group. There is not just one Trierisch dialect, but different ones depending on the district of Trier. Trierisch also differs quite significantly from the dialects of the surrounding villages, whose residents do not usually refer to their dialect as Trierisch.

Berlin influences are sometimes cited as a reason for the differences between the Trierisch dialect and the Moselle Franconian: When Trier became part of Prussia in 1815, there was a large influx of Prussian officials who had a lasting influence on the local language.
