Dialect
The "Meidlinger L" is a specialty of the
German working-class dialect spoken in Vienna (see
Viennese language). It refers to the letter "l" spoken as "dl" (as in Mei
dling, hence the name) in some variants of the Viennese dialect. Some believe that this feature of the dialect has its origin in the
Czech language, where the 'l' sometimes sounds similar, for example in the past tense.
