Franconia

Franconia is a region in Germany, characterised by its culture and language, and may be roughly associated with the areas in which the East Franconian dialect group, colloquially referred to as "Franconian" , is spoken. There are several other Franconian dialects, but only the East Franconian ones are colloquially referred to as "Franconian".

"Core Franconia" is constituted by the three administrative regions of Lower, Middle, and Upper Franconia of the state of Bavaria. Also part of the cultural region of Franconia are the adjacent Franconian-speaking regions of the otherwise Thuringian and Upper Saxon-speaking state of Thuringia , the Franconian-speaking parts of Heilbronn-Franconia in the state of Baden-Württemberg, and small parts of the state of Hesse.
