This linguistic map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.

It is recommended to name the SVG file “German dialectal map.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summarium

The factual accuracy of this is disputed.
There might be relevant discussion on the talk page.

Rex Germanus 10:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

English: German dialects after 1945, split into:

Low German
Central/Middle German (part of High German)
Upper German (part of High German)

With "Benrath" this map gives the Uerdingen line in the west and the Benrath line in the East:

Uerdingen line = ik/ich-line (cp. File:Uerdinger und Karlsruher Linie.png)
Benrath line = maken/machen-line (cp. File:Benrather und Speyerer Linie.png)

Dialects north of these both lines are Low German; those south are High German.

You don't just swap out an image. It's one thing to make adjustments, it another to completely replace the original image with a different one under the same file name. There's a rule against doing just that.

The previous map is extremely flawed in the course of the two isoglosses.
