Speaking 22 Different German Dialects - Can You Understand All of Them?? 🇩🇪

Рет қаралды 232,177

Күн бұрын

German is often falsely viewed as one language spoken by Germany and a couple of other countries, but there is so much more to it. In fact, 6 countries have German listed as an official language but it is spoken in many other regions in other countries where it may not be recognized officially nationally. On top of that, depending on who is defining them, German can have up to 40,000 different dialects! A few months ago we asked our viewers to send in clips of them speaking their German dialect so we could show just how incredibly diverse the German language is. From Pfälzisch to Swabian and from Bairisch to fränkisch, you'll hear them all (almost)!😊

Luckily you only need standard German. Almost every dialect speaker would quickly switch to standard German and even most of them (but not all) would switch to english as soon as they realize that they are not understood ;-) Most dialect speakers grow up trilingual ;-) - The local dialect (beginnig with day one ;-) - Standard German (from the first day of school if not earlier, maybe at kindergarden or even earlier at home). - English (it varies, but for example many start to learn it in the 3rd year of school in a rather playful way with simple words and phrases to get a feeling for it - and that's good! In the 5th year of school grammar is added to it, which makes it more complicated, some struggle and don't really want to learn or use it... But many things are available in english only, for example almost everything around science, space, computers and so on. Even music instruments like keyboards - you can't expect to have the manual or the website or even the display in German for additional information, for updates, for addtional sounds. Or software in general or games. Not everything has a German translation to it.

I live in Canada. My Dad was from Hamburg Germany and my Mom was from a small village near Salzburg Austria. They met and married here in Canada in about 1953. The German I learned was my Dad's version. My Mom's German is an Austrian dialect. I also learned the German that they knew from when they left Germany. They did not learn modern day terminology for new things like computers, cell phones etc. When I visit relatives I have no problem for the most part understanding my relatives from Hamburg. However, when we visit our Austrian relatives I often do not understand what they are saying. They speak a completely different German than what I understand. It was really funny one time when my Husband and I were travelling in Germany on our own, I was asked what part of Germany I was from because they could not place my accent. I laughed and told them I was not from Germany but from Canada. They said I spoke German quite well. I do however, speak an old German because I do not know modern terminology. It is still easy to communicate though because many German people speak and understand English.

As a Saxon, I am extremely surprised and also a little disappointed that only a Berliner has appeared here as a representative for former East Germany. The statement that there are many other dialects that were just not made available is somewhat suspect. A simple check of one's own video would have quickly revealed that the former Soviet zone is extremely underrepresented. And in today's times I am convinced that surely enough East German speakers would have been found. Regardless, it was a good overview of the dialects in my country. I would understand all of them, but every now and then I would have to think about what was meant.

Hey, Nice video. I'm from Switzerland and here it's a bit different with the status of dialect. While in germany many people don't even have a dialect and speak only standard german, in Switzerland everybody speaks only in dialect. Standard german is only used as a written language, in TV and if someone from Germany is around. Otherwise everyone talks in his/her dialect. In Switzerland there are so many dialects and sometimes every valley has its own. The interesting thing is, that most swiss people understand more or less every other dialect in Switzerland (with some exceptions).

In mountainous regions of europe the dialect changine with every valley is pretty normal. In flatter regions it is either with other natural borders like big rivers. The other thing in flatter regions is that if you listen closely you will notice that the dialects change (sometimes more, sometimes less) every 30km. That's the distance people before trains and cars ect. on average could cover in a day. So the usual "territory" of the people with a certain dialect.

I noticed slight differences in the example sentences, for example from Vienna "a parl Würstl" ("ein Paar Würste", a pair of sausages, literally meaning 2 sausages), but that is due to the preferences. They love to eat "Wiener Würstel" which are called "Frankfurter Würstel" in Austria - a funny thing how that name varies ;-) and this kind of sausage usually comes in a set of 2. So that was a translation which also translated the kind of sausage to the usually used sausage. And there was a bit of a variation of the kind of store in the sentence from a southern part of Austria. Both variations could also happen when the given sentence was in German instead of English. I think, that's not a big deal. That just adds a bit of a flavour to it. And it also could seem "alien" to the speaker if he or she should translate it word by word, therefore the slight variations are quite normal. A more strict translation could reslut in sentences which are more in the standard German ("Hochdeutsch"). This is also a thing, that most German dialects can be spoken in a more intense way ("im tiefen Dialekt") or more like standard German. The speakers can vary the strength of the dialect almost seamlessly like on a slider from deep dialect to standard german ;-)

Hey Guys, I'm from NE Scotland and I speak a dialect(although I've heard it referred to as a language) called Dundonian, but as this falls under Middle-English, it could be seen as a language. Considering native English speaker may find it hard to understand, I reckon it's more a language than just a dialect. Politics aside, most of our words are actually of German origin. They are so similar in fact, that you could've put them in this video and nobody would have noticed. I can send you a list of these words but there are so many. Anyway, check out Doric and Scots tongue. It's great fun.

Low German: once a North Sea Germanic language like English, but it got influenced by Franconian and Standard German, so it shifted away and isn't classified as one today, but instead rather close to German.

There are however still some features in the language, that show the ancestry, like a common vocabulary and some sound changes. e.g. k instead of ts/tsh/sh: cheese vs kaas; the dutch g instead of a j-sound: dag vs day, sometimes a b instead of an f-sound: ik heb vs ik hav (German: ich habe).

Only 30 years ago, most every little village had their own unique dialect. With people having to travel further and further to just go to their job, dialects unfortunately get mixed and lost. Working in an American environment it is rare that I have co-workers who do understand German at all, but when talking to a German co-worker, we usually use our dialects when we want to make sure that they really don't understand what we're saying. For me, a dialect is just like another language and it's always good to be multi-lingual, isn't it? ;)

There are some dictionaries for our dialect online and my mum and I were bored once and looked at one that was made by a town maybe 30km away from where our family is from. It had a section for sayings and while many were the same or similar to what we would say, some sayings we had literally never heard before and for some of the entries we struggled to even understand what some words meant (in part because there is no uniform spelling and you just spell the way you speak, so because the pronunciation in that town is already a bit different to ours, we had to read it several times out loud and flip some letters around to recognise some words)

The alphabet we use is the latein one brought by the Romans when they built all the military points and camps like Trier, Cologne, Regensburg and almost everything along the rivers Danube and Rhine. The German language was always influenced by a lot of words from other languages like Slavic, French, Greek, Jiddish, English and many more. That one Germany doesn't really exist, the standard German language is the only real connection between the German nations/tribes. The oldest still existing German tribe are the Saxons. My grandma was born and raised in Pomerania, that's now Polish, after WW2, coming to Berlin she had to learn a different language, standard German, but she never really learned the dialect in this region except of a few words.

@@PassportTwo I love luxembourgish! It's such a distinct mixture of mosel-fränkisch and french with a sing-songy melody... just listen to Jean Claude Junker (politician) or Lea Linster (chef) speaking german and you'll get the feeling by hearing their accent.

I must disagree many Luxemburgers can speak a decent Hochdeutsch and I couldn’t tell them apart if there was a small „Singsang“ or accent if they‘d be from Luxemburg or Trier. Same goes for people from Aachen and Eupen. Differences are small. Those days it’s mostly a generation issue and a city versus countryside issue. Berlinerisch is academically spoken not a dialect but a Mundart… most of northern Germany abolished their dialect or even language Plattdütsch.. for standard German with a distinct sound or Singsang and a few words like in every region.

@@PassportTwo Awww I missed the call for submissions, but I can give some infos on Lëtzebuergesch. Lëtzebuergesch is an "Ausbausprache" of German, that historically developed from the Moselfränkisch dialect. It uses a lot more French vocabulary than German. Luxembourgish students learn Luxembourgish, French, English, sometimes a fifth language like Spanish, Italian, Chinese or Latin and German (Hochdeutsch) in school. Most people don't have a heavy dialect when speaking German, but it always comes down to the person. We do however use a slightly different vocabulary when emulating Hochdeutsch. It never occured to me, but my professor pointed some of the luxembourgisms out that he encountered in the years working with Luxembourgish students. He is actually publishing a lexikon soon about Das Luxemburger Standarddeutsch. as for the words you requested everyone to say here are the Luxembourgish variants. Hallo = Moien oder Salut! Tschüss = Äddi! 1= Eent 2= zwee 3= dräi 4= véier 5= fënnef 6= sechs 7= siwen 8= aacht 9= néng 10= zéng eine Karotte= éng Muet eine Kartoffel = éng Gromper (I forgot the other words, I will make a second comment for the rest.)

Yes, please do a part 2. I would either learn Arabic, Chinese or Japanese, since they are difficult to learn

@anlumo1 2 жыл бұрын

Speaking Japanese is very easy to learn, just reading/writing is hard.

@Trollvolk 2 жыл бұрын

Chinese is quiet easy. Only challenging part is like mentioned above the writing system. Although it is a very fun part of learning.

There are two things that prevent the language from falling apart completely: 1) The difference in pronunciation is somewhat systematic. Scientists have identified distinct sound shifts. So over time you know the trick which sound in the dialect means which in standard German 2) Many differences in local vocabulary involve the use of synonyms or near synonyms. E.g. the Swabian word for to talk „schwätzen“ means to chatter in standard German.

Very nice video! I'm surprised that I had the most problems with understanding Kölsch despite the fact that Cologne isn't very far from where I live. I didn't even knew what Söl'ring was.

Didn’t see your dialect represented because nobody sent it in? Help us out and send in a VIDEO of you saying our examples for part 2! Check our community tab from our previous call for help and you can be in our next video on dialects! 😊

Maybe pin this message, so everybody has a chance to see it :) Thx for you video btw.! I often talked about the richness of local dialects and their grammar and structure and that they get lost bit by bit with family and friends. Thanks for your contribution documenting living language!

Super Video! Die Sätze waren doch alle perfekt übersetzt. Ich find's super🤗. Mein Dialekt unterscheidet sich von allen aus dem Video. Bei uns unterscheidet sich der Dialekt aber auch wirklich von Dorf zu Dorf.

As someone growing up in the countryside in the cologne region, dialect was still very present through Karnevals music (we don't speak Kölsch, but it's similar) and all the older people in the village speaking dialect, and I'm happy I'm still able to speak and understand it. I was pretty sure though that I speak perfect accent-free Hochdeutsch until I moved to Hesse to study at a uni there and got asked about vocab I use several times. Last week one of my hessian friends even told me she was out buying a new car and the way the seller spoke reminded her of me, so she asked him where he was from and his hometown is less than 5 km away from the village I grew up in. When moving away I also realized how easy it is to pinpoint what regions my fellow students come from by the way they talk, even when they speak standard german, and I really like that. You kinda have a little piece of Heimat with you wherever you go and the diversity is great.
