Zürcher Oberland in the context of Zurich German

Zurich German (natively Züritüütsch [ˈtsyrityːtʃ] ; Standard German: Zürichdeutsch) is the High Alemannic dialect spoken in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland. Its area covers most of the canton, with the exception of the parts north of the Thur and the Rhine, which belong to the areal of the northeastern (Schaffhausen and Thurgau) Swiss dialects.

Zurich German was traditionally divided into six sub-dialects, now increasingly homogenised owing to larger commuting distances:
