   • 1983, C.A.M. Noble, Modern German Dialects, page 59f:

     The North Upper German area (Nordoberdeutsch) is like a wedge pushing the Middle German area northwards. It includes the two High or Upper Franconian (Hochfränkisch, Oberfränkisch) dialects known as South Franconian and East Franconian (Südfränkisch; Ostfränkisch) as well as the dialect of North Bavarian (Nordbairisch).

使用する際の注意点

• Note that Upper Franconian is in no way restricted to the Bavarian subregion of Upper Franconia (Oberfranken). The linguistic term refers to the historic Franks, not the modern region.
