{{contraction of|de|ein}} Like virtually all traditional German dialects, colloquial standard German distinguishes the indefinite article from the numeral for “one”"one". The specific form {{m|de||’n'n}} has spread from the North southward and is thus of chiefly {{der|de|nds|-}} origin. Most [[High German]] dialects use forms without the final ''-n'', such as {{IPAchar|[ə]}} or {{IPAchar|[a]}}, at least for the basic form (i.e. the masculine and neuter nominative). These pronunciations are sometimes heard in colloquial standard German as well, but {{m|de||’n'n}} is clearly the commonest form.
