The Dialectometry of Luxembourgish

In 1997, Guillaume Schiltz published the first dialectometric study of Luxembourgish, based on data from the Luxemburgischer Sprachatlas (LSA). Dialectometry refers to the quantitative analysis of linguistic variation across space using geo-statistical techniques (Scherrer & Stöckle 2016; Goebl 2022). In Schiltz’s study, the relative similarity of linguistic variants across all LSA maps was computed for each pair of localities, resulting in a similarity matrix. This matrix served as the basis for clustering analyses and spatial visualisations of dialect similarity.
