Angel Danish

Angel Danish (German: Angeldänisch, Danish: Angeldansk or Angelbomål) was a variant of South Jutlandic spoken in the regions of Angeln and Schwansen in Southern Schleswig partly until the 20th century.

Characteristic of Angel Danish was, among other things, the tonal pitch accent (like in the Danish dialects of Als and Langeland as well as in Swedish and Norwegian) and the fricative for the hard G (like today in the Angel Low German).

There were also older Nordic forms such as hvénner (German wenn, Danish hvornår, Old Norse hvenær), mjølk (German Milch, Danish mælk, Old Norse mjólk) or gut (German Junge, Danish dreng, Norwegian gutt).

[2] In the 18th and 19th centuries, Angel Danish was increasingly replaced by Low and High German.

A travelogue from 1813 documents the language change from Angel Danish to German in Swania in the first half of the 19th century.
