Description On the basis of a thorough description, we can observe the following basis tendencies. In northern Moravia and Silesia and in Hřebečsko (Schönhengst), the diminutive suffixes -la and -le prevail. The suffixes -l and -dl prevail in the language islands in Brno, Vyškov and Jihlava regions. The sufix -chen ist typical of big cities and areas with equalizing tendencies. Upper-Bavarian vocalisation of the sufix -al is documented only in one case in Jihlava region.
