Alsatian dialect speakers

Alsatian dialect speakers are individuals who speak Alsatian, a regional language primarily spoken in the Alsace region of northeastern France. It is a form of Alemannic German with unique vocabulary, pronunciation, and expressions that distinguish it from Standard German and French. Though many Alsatians are also fluent in French, Alsatian remains a vital part of local cultural identity, often used in homes, community events, and rural areas. It is considered a regional language rather than a formal official language, and efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote its use among younger generations.
