In between there is a dialect continuum of typical transitions, whereby more or less every village speaks a little differently from its neighbours.
From a linguistic point of view, the Eifel can be divided into the Moselle Franconian and the Ripuarian dialect regions.
The "Eifel language barrier", which separates the two dialects along a broad strip of territory, extends from the northern part of the Bitburg-Prüm, via Kronenburg, Blankenheim, Nettersheim, Altenahr and Ahrweiler along the Vinxtbach to its confluence with the Rhine at Bad Breisig.
[1] The Eifel dialect is also spoken in the neighbouring German-speaking Community of Belgium.
Especially in the southern part of this region, which is also called the Belgian Eifel, the dialect has been able to preserve its importance in everyday life.
