This is not a dialect but a group of dialet like "lombard".

The "funny" Ethnologue call it "language" but for Ethnologue all is language.

Hello,
I would like to ask for the creation of a Ripuarian Wikipedia. The discussion has been around on MetaWiki for some time and seems to be finished. The TestWiki on http://wikoelsch.dergruenepunk.de has already more than 500 articles, and there have been several requests from users who want to join as soon as it is a real Wikipedia.
Is "Ripuarian" a dialect or a language? Funny, living in the Rheinland for some time, and never heard the word "ripuarian" before. And
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripuarian http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheinl%C3%A4ndisch
don't even exist yet.
Best wishes,
Tels
