Why the Low Alemannic pronunciation?
[edit]The article provides the pronunciation of the place name Oberteuringen both in Standard High German and Low Alemannic: "Oberteuringen (German pronunciation: [ˈoːbɐˌtɔʏʁɪŋən]; Low Alemannic: Direnge)...". The local dialect of Oberteuringen and the northern coast of Lake Constance isn't Low Alemannic, however, but Swabian, and the current inhabitants of Oberteuringen and the surrounding area pronounce Oberteuringen as /ˈdaɪʁɪŋə/, approximately dairinge (quite similar to a combination of the English words *die* and *ringer*). I have not edited the article, because I cannot find a quotable source for the local pronunciation, but suggest to delete the Alemannic one, as it equally lacks a source.
