Yes, because Americans are no different from people from other countries which means that there are well educated, thoughtful individuals as well as people that are not. I think this speaks more of your prejudices based on nationality than anything else.

Gets even worse when you go to other German speaking countries. But it's similar with Scandinavian languages, they are essentially the same while sounding very different, but there's always this one language that just sounds like the other ones if a person speaking were just severely drunk. That's the same sense I got with Austrians when hearing them speak. They are just Germans that sound exceptionally drunk.

i love how the americans say french fries even its from belgium originally - its from the WW1 or WW2 where the American Soldiers were based in Belgium near to France and thought it was France because they spoke alot of french there

No!!! French fries are from France. The Belgian food historian Pierre Leclercq has traced the history of the french fry and asserts that "it is clear that fries are of French origin".[39] They became an emblematic Parisian dish in the 19th century. Frédéric Krieger, a Bavarian musician, learned to cook fries at a roaster on rue Montmartre in Paris in 1842, and took the recipe to Belgium in 1844, where he created his business Fritz and sold "la pomme de terre frite à l'instar de Paris" ("Paris-style fried potatoes").[40][41] The modern style of fries born in Paris around 1855 is different from the domestic fried potato that existed in the 18th century. From the Belgian standpoint, the popularity of the term "french fries" is explained as "French gastronomic hegemony" into which the cuisine of Belgium was assimilated, because of a lack of understanding coupled with a shared language and geographic proximity of the countries.[38] The Belgian journalist Jo Gérard [fr] claimed that a 1781 family manuscript recounts that potatoes were deep-fried prior to 1680 in the Meuse valley, as a substitute for frying fish when the rivers were frozen.[29][35] Gérard never produced the manuscript that supports this claim, and "the historical value of this story is open to question".[42] In any case, it is unrelated to the later history of the french fry, as the potato did not arrive in the region until around 1735. In any case, given 18th-century economic conditions: "it is absolutely unthinkable that a peasant could have dedicated large quantities of fat for cooking potatoes. At most they were sautéed in a pan".[43]

We Swiss just don't like learning French/German because it's HARD.

@@stargazer0016 you are right in general learning another language doesn't endanger your language but in Belgium French expanded at the expense of Dutch. E.g.

If you understand them better then Swiss-German then either you live in Bavaria or have at least been exposed more to Bavarian dialects then to the Alemannic dialects where the Swiss dialects are part of. It might also be the case that the Austrians toned down their dialect so they can be better understood. I speak an Alemannic dialect and standard German. Still, it can be very hard for me to understand these Bavarian dialects if the speaker does not tones it down. On the other hand of course Swiss dialects are a lot easier to understand for me.

As a German coming from Dortmund (so not used to allemanic dialects) but living now in Konstanz i dont understand any of those allemanic. Not the village dialects of the region. And swiss also. But i have the same with bavarian or austrian.

Yeah same, Voralberg dialect is similar

That's cos it's a different Dialect group. Swiss, Vorarlberg and southern Baden-Württemberg (like Swabian) are Alemanic Dialect, while Austria and southern Bavaria are Bavarian(-Austrian) Dialect.

The swiss girl wasn‘t trying to trick anyone swiss people, at least in the german part always communicate in local dialect.

Me coming from more of the north of Germany I have also real trouble understanding Swiss German. It sounds pretty funny, but often I can‘t understand a thing

I first thought that it was either a very unclear dialect of German, Luxembourgish or Danish. I quickly eliminated Luxembourgish due to the lack of French elements and the fact that the accent didn't sound as close to Dutch as Luxembourgish does. And then I realized that Danish has some sounds influenced from English, which I didn't hear here, so it had to be Swiss German. Initially I thought it was Danish, because it sounded a bit Nordic to me, but it couldn't be Swedish, Norwegian or Icelandic, because I knew those are further away from German than Danish is. By the way, I'm Dutch and can understand German, but I didn't understand much of what the Swiss woman said.

Austrian dialects devolde within each region of austria drastically. I know some folks from Känten who just cannot understand my lower austrian, while viennese dialects usually include a lot more loaneords than styrian and tyrolian has a very interesting way to pronounce ch and sch. Thats why austria is considered more diverse than germany, at least according to dialects. Way back in the 70s and 80s Vienna had at least one dialect for every Bezirk, so over 20 dialects alone in our Capital.

@@domsenic5548 every region where dialects are spoken daily have this. The dialect from my mum from Spessart is different in every village. It's not a think of Austria. It's a thing of the last 300 years of New High German, especially with the different vowel changes. Where in Standard is [ ai ] spoken, it is /eu/ in her dialect. But while Bavarian, Alemannic have still the diphthongs of Old High German, you say liab for lieb. In Swiss it's liëb. And a lot of Alemannic also have retained the full sounding vowels in unaccented syllables. liebä Lütä mäd Zungon sprächä. But still, all dialects in Austria belong to the Barbarian dialect continuum, except Vorarlberg.

Wir haben schon in Braunfels, drei verschiedene hessische Dialekte.

It's true that German is also a belgian language, but all the cities that were given to Belgium after WW1 did not remain in Belgium after WW2. For instance, the city of Kelmis has an even weirder history, as it was neutral before WW1.

I think she meant it differently than you guys assume. She didn't mean that Austria has a larger spectrum or total amount of dialects, but that a far larger amount of the population, percentage wise, actually speaks their dialect daily. And that there are more per square kilometer, probably. In Germany, it's basically socially acceptable to bully and mock anyone who speaks any dialect mercilessly. It goes as far as people being proud of not understanding them, even though that realistically means their own vocabulary is lacking.
