The South German dialect of Breisgau has G. _er hilft_ (he helps, PG. ær helft), _g'seit_ (as in Alsatia) for _gesagt_, PG. 'ksaat,' _us_ for G. and PG. 'aus,' _i_ for _ich_, _herrli_ for _herrlich_, (PG. hærrlich), _wön_ for _wollen_, _zît_ (as in Alsatia) for _zeit_, _aue_ for _augen_ (eyes, PG. aughǝ, Alsat. auǝ), _de_ for _du_, _gen_ for _gegeben_ (given, PG. gewwǝ, sometimes suppressing _ge-_, to which attention has been called). Besides _gen_, the following Allemanic example (Radlof, 2, 99) contains _wore_ for _geworden_, and _uskratzt_ for _ausgekratzt_-- "Se han kurzwilt un Narrethei triebe, un am End isch der Hirt keck wore, un het em Mümmele e Schmützle gen, un se het em seldrum d'Aue nit uskratzt." _They trifled and fooled, and finally the shepherd_ (ist keck geworden) _became bold, and_ (hat gegeben) _gave_ (dem) _to the water nymph a kiss, and she did not_ (dasselbe darum) _on-that-account_ ('em' for _ihm_) _scratch out his eyes._ In the following examples, the Breisgauish and PG. are probably more nearly allied than might be supposed from a comparison of the spelling. The Alsatian and PG. are in the same alphabet. _German._ _Breis- _Alsace._ _PG._ _English._ gau._ regenbogen, regeboge, râjǝbâu-ǝ, reeghǝ- _rainbow_. booghǝ, wo, von, wu, vun, wuu, fun, wuu, fun, _where_, _of_. da, mal, do, mol, doo, mool, doo, mool, _here_, _times_. schaf, schof, schoof, schoof, _sheep_. schlafen, schlofe, schloofǝ, schloofǝ, _to sleep_. und, gelt, un, gel, un, gel, un, gel, _and_, _truly!_ wohnen, wuhne, woonǝ, wuunǝ, _to reside_. kommen, kumme, kummǝ, kummǝ, _to come_. gesehen, g'sehne, g'sên, kseenǝ, _seen_. jahr, auch, johr, au, joor, au, joor, aa, _year_, _also_. nachbar, nochber, nochbǝr, nochbǝr, _neighbor_. nicht, nit, nix, net, niks, net, niks, _not_, _nothing_. nichts, selbiger, seller, tsellǝr, sellǝr, _that one_. es ist 's isch ǝs isch jets, s isch jets, _it is now_. jetzt, jetz, etwas, ebbes, eppǝs, ebbǝs, _something_. eppǝs, nunmehr, nummee, (nimmǝ), nummi, _now_. darunter, runter, (nuntǝr), runtǝr, _under_. als, einem, as, eme, as, ǝmǝ, as, mǝ, _as_, _to a_. man kann, mer kann, m'r kann, mǝr kann, _one can_. sie haben, sie hen, sii haan, sii hen, _they have_. han, wir sind, mer sin, m'r sin, m'r sin, _we are_. weiszt, wescht, weischt, weescht, _knowest_.
