Upper Saxon is a Central German dialect spoken in much of the modern German States of Saxony and Thuringia. The degree of accent varies from place to place within the states, with it being anywhere from a relatively mild accent in the larger cities such as Dresden or Chemnitz, to a stronger form in rural areas. In the villages of the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) a distinct dialect is spoken.

  • Upper Saxon is a Central German dialect spoken in much of the modern German States of Saxony and Thuringia. The degree of accent varies from place to place within the states, with it being anywhere from a relatively mild accent in the larger cities such as Dresden or Chemnitz, to a stronger form in rural areas. In the villages of the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) a distinct dialect is spoken. The most notable distinguishing feature of the dialect is that the letters "o" and "u" are pronounced as centralized vowels (and, which are also used in Swedish, for instance). Speakers of other German dialects that do not have these sounds tend to perceive these sounds as being "ö" [ø] and "ü" [y] respectively. For example, they hear [ʔæʉs] ‘out’ as if written "aüs" and [ˈʔɵːma] ‘grandma’ as if written "Öma" . Front rounded vowels are pronounced as non-rounded . Final -er is pronounced [ɝ], which speakers of other German dialects tend to hear as [oː]; e.g. [ˈheː(h)ɝ] ‘higher’ (höher) is misheard as if written "he(h)o. " The Upper Saxon dialects outside the Ore Mountains can be easily recognized by the supposed “softening” of the voiceless stop consonants /p/, /t/ and /k/. Speakers of other dialects hear these as if they were "b," "d" and "g" respectively. In reality, these are merely non-aspirated versions of the same /p/, /t/ and /k/, a widespread feature among Central German dialects, as opposed to strongly aspirated [pʰ], [tʰ] and [kʰ] in dominant German dialects.
  • L'alto sassone, in lingua tedesca Obersächsisch, è un dialetto del Tedesco centrale parlato nella maggior parte della Sassonia e della Turingia. L'intensità dell'accento varia da zona a zona e da città a città, presentando suoni più forti nelle aree rurali. Le sue varianti sono l' Osterländisch, il Meissnisch (Nord-, Nordost-, West-, Süd- e Südostmeissnisch), e l'Oster- e Westerzgebirgisch. Il dialetto Alto Sassone è la lingua natale di Martin Lutero che in esso tradusse la Bibbia nel 1534, dando inizio ad una rivoluzione culturale e religiosa non solo nel nord della Germania, ma successivamente nel continente Europeo. Per certi versi il ruolo svolto dall'Alto sassone è paragonabile quello del dialetto fiorentino in Italia ai tempi delle prime opere tradotte in lingua volgare. Sulla base del dialetto Alto Sassone si è plasmata la lingua tedesca moderna che oggi conosciamo.
  • Het Hoogsaksisch is binnen de Hoogduitse taal een Oostmiddelduits dialect dat het meest verwant is aan het Thürings. Hoogsaksisch wordt door vele mensen in Saksen en zuider Saksen-Anhalt gesproken.
  • Верхнесаксонский диалект — один из диалектов восточного наречия средненемецких диалектов немецкого языка. Распространен в Восточной Германии. Является основой немецкого литературного языка.
  • Sachsiska är den dialekt av tyska man talar i Sachsen. Dialektgruppens formella lingvistiska beteckning på tyska är Thüringisch-Obersächsisch, då likartade dialekter talas i såväl Sachsen som Thuringen. Den kännetecknas framförallt av sina förmjukade konsonanter, som att k blir ett g och p blir b.
