‘Hochdeutsch’ standard, in (north-central) Germany.
Description
‘Hochdeutsch’ standard German, particularly as spoken in (north-central) Germany.
Note on geographical location
Set on Hannover. Although without particular linguistic merit, Hannover is at least widely considered among German-speakers as a region whose (pronunciation) is close(st) to the perceived ‘standard’ language. More relevant for IE-CoR is simply that Hannover is in a fairly central location within northern Germany, where lexical usage generally corresponds most closely to the lexeme determinations in the IE-CoR data for German.
