You say some dialects didnâ??t even undergo the second sound shift? I doubt this, but I would like to see examples, if you could provide them. As far as I know the incomplete second sound shift applies only to Langobardic proper, which is not the ancestor of Cimbric, and of course to the central German dialects north of the â??WeiÃ?wurstlinieâ??. > > Dan > > > > _____ > > From: thomasruhm > Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2011 12:02 PM > Because you said, that Langobardic is close to Bavarian it might be interesting for you, that the mother of a good friend of mine can speak Cimbrian, a north italian Language, which is also close to Bavarian. You can find it on YouTube, if you look for Zimbrisch. Some dialects did not even have the second sound shift. > Yours > Thomas > > > English, Scots Dutch, the Friso-Saxon languages and the Scandinavian languages have not undergone the Second Consonantal shift like the South German Languages. Langobardic is also South German and underwent the Second Consonantal Shift. Not too long ago, I put the Hildebrandslied into reconstructed Langobardic. I and others worked to reconstruct the ballad into Langobardic in the Theudiskon Yahoo group. Hopfom thaz hilpfit. Spero que adjuta.
