The Rhineland offers ample space for linguistic variations and nuances between Emmerich and the Eifel, and between Aachen and Gummersbach. What medium would be better suited to represent the diversity of such a linguistic landscape than the language map? In 50 colorful maps, mostly based on the author's own surveys, he succeeds in capturing language movement and language change in snapshots. The focus is on the regional colloquial language and its current variants that shift between generations, which the author discusses in their interplay with the old dialects ("Platt") and Standard German. In the map comments, he explains how words, sounds, and grammatical forms migrate and how they come together in the respective map images. The atlas also serves as a practical guide: Where do people speak like we do? And how do they say it elsewhere?.
