“Liechtensteinisch” is a collective term for the High Alemannic dialects
spoken in the Principality of Liechtenstein in the Oberland and
Unterland and the Highest Alemannic Triesenberg dialect. The dialects in
Liechtenstein belong to the Alemannic dialects of Vorarlberg (Austria)
and south-western Germany.
Due to the dialect continuum, there
are sometimes considerable regional differences and variations within
the Liechtenstein dialect. For example, the term “wir” (German for “we”)
is pronounced “miar” in the Oberland, “wiar” in Triesenberg and “müar”
in the Unterland.
Our special stamps “Oberland” (face value CHF
1.20), “Triesenberg” (face value CHF 1.90) and “Unterland” (face value
CHF 2.50) emphasize the linguistic regionality of the small state of
Liechtenstein. The villages where the dia-lect is spoken are marked with
red dots on the historical map.
