Usage notes
- The Rhine Franconian form is Meenzer. There is a local tradition to distinguish between the two pronunciations based on someone's being a native or merely an inhabitant. Humorously this may even be elaborated into a three-way system of alleged nativeness involving the vowels /aɪ̯/, /ɛɪ̯/ and /eː/.
