==Central Franconian==

===Alternative forms===
* {{alt|gmw-cfr|diss||as neuter singular, especially [[Kölsch]]}}
* {{alt|gmw-cfr|det|dess||widespread vocalic variant}}

===Etymology===
From {{inh|gmw-cfr|gmh|diser|g=m}}, whose neuter was {{m|gmh|dit}} in Central Franconian (other {{m+|gmh|diz}}). The regular outcome would be {{m|gmw-cfr||disse}} vs. {{m|gmw-cfr||det}}. The vocalic variation was levelled one way or the other in all dialects. Levelling of the consonantism remained optional and probably occurred only after the determiner had been chiefly restricted to periods of time.

===Pronunciation===
* {{IPA|gmw-cfr|/dit/}}
* {{q|masculine ''disse''}} {{IPAchar|/ˈdizə/}}

==North Frisian==

===Article===
{{head|frr|article}}

# {{lb|frr|Sylt}} {{l|en|the}} {{q|neuter singular}}

====Usage notes====
* Besides personal and possessive pronouns, {{m|frr||dit}} is the only gendered form in Sylt Frisian, as gender distinctions in determiners and adjectives have been lost (unlike other North Frisian dialects). This causes a marked tendency to abolish grammatical gender altogether (compare the article template below). The distinction of the neuter is mainly stabilized by Standard German influence; gender distribution, when applied, therefore tends to follow closely the German pattern.
