Hamburg German, also known as Hamburg dialect or Hamburger dialect (natively Script error: No such module "Lang"., Template:Langx), is a group of Northern Low Saxon varieties spoken in Hamburg, Germany. Occasionally, the term Hamburgisch is also used for Hamburg Missingsch, a variety of standard German with Low Saxon substrates. These are urban dialects that have absorbed numerous English and Dutch loanwords, for instance Törn 'trip' (< turn) and suutje 'gently' (< Dutch Script error: No such module "Lang".).

Hamburg's name is pronounced Script error: No such module "IPA". in these dialects, with a "ch" similar to that in the standard German words ich or Milch (ich-Laut). Typical of the Hamburg dialects and other Lower Elbe dialects is the Script error: No such module "IPA". pronunciation (and eu spelling) for the diphthong Script error: No such module "IPA". (written öö, öh or ö), e.g.:

in Hamburg elsewhere standard German English translation
keupen Script error: No such module "IPA". köpen Script error: No such module "IPA". kaufen Script error: No such module "IPA". to buy
scheun Script error: No such module "IPA". schöön Script error: No such module "IPA". schön Script error: No such module "IPA". beautiful

However, as in most other Low Saxon dialects, the long monophthong Script error: No such module "IPA". is pronounced Template:IPAblink (as in French peu), for instance Kööm ~ Kœm Script error: No such module "IPA". 'caraway'.

The Low Saxon language in Hamburg is divided in several subdialects, namely:Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

  • Finkwarder Platt
  • Olwarder Platt
  • Veerlanner Platt (with many sub-sub-dialects)
  • Barmbeker Platt.

The Hamborger Veermaster is a famous sea shanty sung in the regional dialect. The all-purpose greeting "moin" is universally used in Hamburg.
