Etymology
From en Eastphalia -an -n.
Noun
en noun
The Low German (or Low Saxon) dialect traditionally spoken in Eastphalia.
Usage notes
The most important feature of Eastphalian is that it merges gml â, ā, but not gml ō, which sets it apart from both Westphalian (with gml â and gml ā distinct) and the northern dialects (with a three-way merger). Other typical features include pronominal forms like nds mek, mik me and the prefix nds e- (or less often nds ge-) in the past participle.
