Talk:Jülich

I might be the only one, but I wonder why it has a dutch name. The german version (I'm german) doesn't mention it, and the article gives no hints are why it has one (the dutch article confirms the name, but I can't read dutch to get more info out of it :) jae 17:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The Swedish Wikipedia says: Staden är också känd under äldre stavningar som exempelvis Guelich och Gülich. Ad43 06:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I always thought it came from the Roman name, which was Iulicum or something like that.MarritzN (talk) 19:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

You mean Juliacum and surely you have a point. This must have something to do with the regional language. In this region the High German /g/ is pronounced /j/, for instance: Jans jut lieber Jott ('Ganz gut, lieber Gott'). Probably the spellings Guelich etc. were hypercorrect essentially.
