Proposed article split[edit]

Danzig Platt and Danzig Missingsch are very different. Danzig Platt was or is part of Mundart des Weichselmündungsgebietes. AFAIK, Danzig Missingsch was part of a regiolect, i. e. not a dialcet strictu sensu, spoken in both West and East Prussia. I have opened this issue on the discussion page of the German article as well.Sarcelles (talk) 12:28, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The content on Danzig Platt should be moved to Dialekt des Weichselgebietes. Sarcelles (talk) 23:33, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speakers[edit]

"Famous modern speakers are Günter Grass, Klaus Kinski and Donald Tusk. ^[1]"

^ Reinhold Vetter. Wohin steuert Polen?: das schwierige Erbe der Kaczyńskis. Christian Links Verlag. ^{[citation needed]}

Source, p. 104: "Donald Tusk: [...] Vor Jahren erzählte Tusk: [...] Ich gehörte einer polnischen Familie an, die das Danziger Deutsch benutzte."
Wilcken, Historische Umgangssprachen [etc.], 2015, p. 72: "Das Danziger Missingsch ist eine hochdeutsche Varietät mit westniederpreußischen, kaschubischen und polnischen Elementen, die [...]. Bis 1945 war die alltägliche Kommunikation in Danzig durch diese Stadtsprache geprägt, [...] insbesondere von der bürgerlichen Mittelschicht [...]. Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde Danzig (politisch ebenso wie sprachlich) polnisch."

Vetter resp. Tusk himself doesn't clearly state what the Tusks spoke (Low German, Missingsch). Compared with Wilcken it's more likely that it was Missingsch. Are there better sources, clearly stating who spoke what exactly?
