Proper noun
A West Central German language or dialect, influenced by other German varieties as well as Portuguese, spoken by over 1 million people in (mainly southern) Brazil.
Usage notes
The dialects of the Hunsrück form a transitional zone between Central and Rhine Franconian. In the Brazilian variety, i.e. Hunsrik, the Rhine Franconian features clearly prevail. Nevertheless, Wiktionary currently treats Central Franconian as its direct ancestor.
