Wedemark
The dictionary makes clear it's Eastphalian (see eck, meck [Acc.], deck [Dat., Acc.], e- (= HG ge-)). "Unser Wedemärger Platt ist das alte ostwestwälische Platt" (-märger and not -märker, -wälisch and not -fälisch), if -fälisch is meant, isn't correct. Also notice "Augebombte" (= Ausgebombte), "augebaut" (= aufgebaut). Thus, "ostwestwälische" could be some kind of spelling mistake (like a written slip of the tongue), or be a mistake by a non-linguist. --Bakunla (talk) 12:57, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Dialects exhibit forms of other delects all the time. These are areal features. The author clearly calls it, and to disregard his classification as a "spelling mistake" is ridiculous. -- 16:10, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

 * î, ī which do occur besides ie, i or sometimes ii (e.g. F. W. Lyra), y (e.g. G. Ungt) do occur in both, texts written in a scientific spelling (e.g. Friedrich Woeste) as well as in texts with regular spellings (e.g. Christian Gilow).
