  • Among All Kinds of German Language Still Spoken, Cimbrian Is
    A Shakespearean Sonnet in Cimbrian – or Perpetuating the Old Mystery by Remigius Geiser Among all kinds of German languages still spoken, Cimbrian1 is undoubtedly the oldest one. Its origin is lost in the mystery of history. Some think it derives from Bavarians and Tyroli- ans, who settled in Northern Italy during the 11th and/or 12th century. Others derive it from the last remainder of the Langobards, who spoke a language very similar to medieval Bavarian or Tyrolian. There are also scolars connecting it to the last Goths … Cimbrian is nowadays still spoken by a few hundred people – nobody has counted their exact number so far – all of them Italian citizens nowadays in three provinces of Northern Italy: Vicenza, Verona and Trentino. They all speak Italian as well, and two hundred years ago Cimbrian was already said to be dying out before the beginning of the 20th century, but has now reached the third millennium. There are still three communities speaking Cimbrian today. The one we are dealing with in particular is the so-called “Sette Comuni”, the "Siban Komàüne" on the Plateau of Asiago, the Altopiano di Asiago, which is situated between Vicenza and Trent in the province Vicenza. In contrast to all other Cimbrian communities, they were a politically autonomous Alpine rural republic, comparable to Switzerland, from about 1200 AD until the times of Napoleon. Such a status of considerable political independence enabled the Sette Comuni to develop their vari- ant of Old High German into a standard literary language that was applied to various func- tions, especially religion and literature.

  • Detecting Genetic Isolation in Human Populations: a Study of European Language Minorities

However, with current approaches, it is not possible to distinguish between the consequences of long-term isolation and the effects of reduced sample size, selection and differential gene flow. To overcome these limitations, we have integrated the analysis of classical genetic diversity measures with a Bayesian method to estimate gene flow and have carried out simulations based on the coalescent. Combining these approaches, we first tested whether the relatively short history of cultural and geographical isolation of four ‘‘linguistic islands’’ of the Eastern Alps (Lessinia, Sauris, Sappada and Timau) had left detectable signatures in their genetic structure. We then compared our findings to previous studies of European population isolates.

  • Reflections on Diversity Linguistics: Language Inventories and Atlases
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 15 Reflections on Language Documentation 20 Years after Himmelmann 1998 ed. by Bradley McDonnell, Andrea L. Berez-Kroeker & Gary Holton, pp. 122–131 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ 12 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24814 Reflections on diversity linguistics: Language inventories and atlases Sebastian Drude University of Iceland Goethe-Universität Frankfurt This contribution gives a short overview of “language inventorying”: research aiming at creating comprehensive catalogues and atlases of all the languages in the world, which has seen a boost with the renewed interest in linguistic diversity triggered by the awareness of language endangerment in the 1990s. By focusing on the development of the ISO standard 639 and SIL’s Ethnologue, the main advances and issues in this area are discussed. The overview concludes by presenting the major alternative resources, in particular Glottolog. The label “diversity linguistics” has been introduced by Martin Haspelmath and others at the Max-Planck-Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig.1 To my knowledge, it was first used in the context of the final conference of that institute’s department of linguistics (MPI-EVA 2015). Now there exist a number of activities under this label, including a book series “Studies in Diversity Linguistics” (Haspelmath 2014ff). In a broad sense, the term designates those branches of linguistics that show interest in the diversity of languages, their structure and relationship: descriptive linguistics (especially of previously understudied languages, often in a fieldwork setting), language typology, and comparative linguistics. Language Documentation is included in or at least a close neighbor to this group.

  • The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A)
    The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A) David K. Faux The goal of the present work is to assemble widely scattered facts to accurately record the story of one of Europe’s most enigmatic people of the early historic era – the Cimbri. To meet this goal, the present study will trace the antecedents and descendants of the Cimbri, who reside or resided in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, in what is today known as the County of Himmerland, Denmark. It is likely that the name Cimbri came to represent the peoples of the Cimbric Peninsula and nearby islands, now called Jutland, Fyn and so on. Very early (3rd Century BC) Greek sources also make note of the Teutones, a tribe closely associated with the Cimbri, however their specific place of residence is not precisely located. It is not until the 1st Century AD that Roman commentators describe other tribes residing within this geographical area. At some point before 500 AD, there is no further mention of the Cimbri or Teutones in any source, and the Cimbric Cheronese (Peninsula) is then called Jutland. As we shall see, problems in accomplishing this task are somewhat daunting. For example, there are inconsistencies in datasources, and highly conflicting viewpoints expressed by those interpreting the data. These difficulties can be addressed by a careful sifting of diverse material that has come to light largely due to the storehouse of primary source information accessed by the power of the Internet. Historical, archaeological and genetic data will be integrated to lift the veil that has to date obscured the story of the Cimbri, or Cimbrian, peoples.

  • Das Zimbrische Zwischen Germanisch Und Romanisch
    1 Ermengildo Bidese, James R. Dow & Thomas Stolz (eds.) 2005. Das Zimbrische zwischen Germanisch und Romanisch. Bochum, Universitätsverlag Dr. N. Brockmey- er. [Diversitas Linguarum 9]. xiii – 240 p. Reviewed by Anthony Rowley, Bavarian Academy of Sciences, Munich Cimbrian or “Zimbrisch” is a German dialect spoken in linguistic enclaves in Northern Italy. It has been usual among dialectologists to stress the antiquity and the archaic vocabulary and morphology of these vanishing dialects, and so it is refreshing to see linguists finding a more innovative side to the language and using Cimbrian as a “linguistic laboratory” for the study of language contact and language change. The 12 papers published here, mainly by German and Italian scholars, derive from a colloquium held at Bremen University early in 2005, the most important of them being focussed on syntactic and morphosyntactic innovations in Cim- brian as typological change in response to structures of Italian. The brief introduction gives a précis of the articles’ contents, but leaves the reader totally in the dark about what Cimbrian is and where it is spoken. Individual authors do mention details in passing, and a brief survey of the sociolinguistic situation in the various enclaves is actually hidden away on p. 157, but there is no general introduction to the language and no map. Most contributions are written in German, with one in English and one (Remigio Geiser, “Vomme Gatòttareche dar Paurn zomme Hòolighen Gaprèchte – asò òch dorrèttat- sich de Zimbrische Zunga” [from the babbling of peasants to a holy language – one of the ways the Cimbrian language is being saved], pp.
