Vogtlandian ( ; Vogtländisch: Vuuchtländisch, Klingenthal pronunciation: ) is an East Franconian dialect, spoken in Vogtland.
== Distribution and history == Vogtlandian is mainly spoken in rural areas. Speakers are mainly elderly, as school and preschool education tends to be negligent about fostering this linguistic tradition. Furthermore, dialect use is often discouraged from an early age. Just like Lusatia and the Ore Mountains, the Vogtland is one of few areas in Saxony still having regions of comparatively self-contained dialect. Vogtlandian and Erzgebirgisch share some linguistic features, due to similarities and interdependencies in their respective settlement histories.
