Eastern Low Prussian (Template:Lang-de or Mundart des Ostgebietes) is a subdialect of Low Prussian, a dialect of Low German. It was spoken around Insterburg (now Chernyakhovsk, Russia), Memelland (Klaipėda Region, Lithuania), and Tilsit (Sovyetsk, Russia) in the eastern territories of East Prussia in the former eastern territories of Germany. Many speakers of this subdialect were Prussian Lithuanians.

Geography

Eastern Low Prussian had borders with Ostsamländisch, Natangian, and Standard German. Lithuanian language was spoken within its area.

Phonology

In difference to varieties to the West, it had no vocalization of r. Its alveolar r probably counts among its influences of Lithuanians. Mundart der Weichselwerder has an alveolar as well.

Eastern Low Prussian has a greater phonetic affinity to Standard German than Samlandic. The /ai/ of Samlandic is given as /ei/ with long /e/.

It has features common with Mundart der Frischen Nehrung und der Danziger Nehrung. It has major High German influence, a Lithuanian substrate, even numerous words having undergone High German consonant shift. High German influence is, though not exclusively, by Salzburg Protestants.

It has dorx for High German durch, English through.

Grammar

There was a diminutive ending -l around Gusev, Kaliningrad Oblast (Gumbinnen), explained by Upper German influence.
