Saxony- (Sachsen-) Anhalt Language and Handwriting

The Sachsen-Anhalters speak high German with a tinge of Thuringian/Upper Saxon dialect. The language also contains a lot of words from the Mark Brandenburg area. In the region of the Altmark and Börde the older generation is still speaking lower German. In the Mansfelder Land people speak the Mansfäller dialect which is hard to decipher for those not from this particular area.
