Natangian (Natangisch) was a Low Prussian dialect, spoken in Natangen, East Prussia.[1]

Geography

It was spoken in Natangen around Zinten, Bartenstein, Friedland, Drengfurt and Rastenburg.[2] Natangian has or used to have a border with Breslausch (a High Prussian dialect), Mundart des Kürzungsgebiets, Ostsamländisch, Mundart des Ostgebietes, Westkäslausch and Ostkäslausch.[3] There was a border of Prince-Bishopric of Warmia to the state of the Teutonic Order, which also was the border of Natangian to Ostkäslausch.[4]
