Main-Franconian is group of Upper German dialects being part of the East Franconian group. The name is derived from the river
Main which meets the river Rhine near Frankfurt after having crossed the former West Germany from East to West. The dialect
is estimated by Ethnologue as 40% intelligible with Standard German. Main-Franconian dialects are spoken in a large stripe
along the river Main. Although part of the general continuum of dialects from Scandinavia to the Alps, there are pretty sharp
borders for many Main-Franconian dialects. In the North and Northeast, these follow Salzbogen and Rennsteig in the Thuringian
Forest, while others in the East and South coincide with the late medieval borders of the Archdiocese of Bamberg and the Bishopric
of Würzburg. Dialects of the Main-Franconian group are spoken mainly in: the district Main-Tauber of federal state Baden-Württemberg,
the three administrative regions of Franconia in the federal state Bavaria, i.e. Lower Franconia, Central Franconia, Upper
Franconia, the districts Schmalkalden-Meiningen, Hildburghausen, Sonneberg, and the city of Suhl, all located in the southern
part of federal state Thuringia. Main-Franconian dialects encompass these major groups: Taubergründisch Unterfränkisch Grabfeldisch
