      The fact that Bottrop, Gelsenkirchen and Essen all have different colors is interesting… As someone from that region, I barely notice the difference

      If you have the feeling that standard German is spoken in Berlin it may be because most people you’ve talked to in Berlin where not from there (be it from another part of Germany or abroad does not matter, really) and **did** speak standard German to communicate with each other – because they did not understand the locals‘ language,

      Eastfrisian Platt being green … I don’t know if I want to believe that.

      Baden for the most part being red and black while Svabia is more orange breaks my heart, though. (It is not, wrong, strictly speaking, but still. ^(Das schönste Land in diehiser Welt das ist das Badener Land …))

      I guess you didn’t come across any Urberliner yet. Not the most challenging dialect if you understand the phonology, but still far way from Standard German.

      very wrong

      I live my whole life in cities and everybody I know speaks standard German.

      The colours don’t make sense. Hamburg does not speak standard german, they speak a Version of low german (Plattdeutsch) implementend into Standard german, but it’s not „nach der Schrift“ (after the grammatic standard)

      Having lived in the south for now 6 years, I can manage with Bavarian and Swabian, but I interacted with a couple from Ostfriesland and I was so lost 😬

      I think you never talked to people in the north, you can’t tell me you can handle Plattdeutsch

      The black marks are absolutely spot on… Coming from someone who lives in Cologne and goes to work in Bavaria for a guy coming from one of those areas… It’s so darn difficult to understand anything he says 😅😂🤣😭

      I was born in the Ore Mountains region (the one black area in Saxony) and I’m certainly biased, but I don’t think *Erzgebirgisch* is that much different or harder than other dialects in Saxony. I mean, it isn’t easy, but to single it out as the one really hard dialect? Nah, disagree.

      Platt is more of another language than just a dialect. But to be honest, if you speak English its easier to understand than old-school swabian.

      It’s kinda funny that the area in and around Karlsruhe have three different colors although they speak the same dialect

      I can see that berlin is understandable but Standard? Cleanst version is afaik in Hannover.

      You probably wouldn’t understand anything in some of the green areas if they would use their real accent. But yes, in the south it‘s more common to speak „native tongue“ 🙂

      As someone living in one of the western orange parts: dialect is incredibly diverse and, more importantly, very dead around here.
      While I can understand it (mostly), I definitely can’t produce it authentically and none of my friends can either

      Schwäbisch ist schwer zu verstehen? Wir in Stuttgart verstehen die Bayern net!

      Black in the extreme SW seems super gentle to me.

      Try crossing the river lol.

      I am from Austria. My partner is from one of your black regions. I absolutely agree with your assessment. I meant they say carpet to a blanket and say it tastes good when they talk about smell. Tf. XD

      Yeah, I grew up in Stuttgart, but learnt the „high German“ as a kid, my parents were trying to teach me as little dialect as possible. Later moved to Unterfranken, and I must say, neither do I understand or speak Swabian or Bavarian, given a heavy enough accent.

      I had this neighbour in Stuttgart that my parents would have to essentially translate for me

    38. nicotnm on

      so you want to tell me that you can handle the german spoken 5 km next to me but mine is „I‘m sorry, what?“

      huh??

    39. Independent_Sun_8248 on

      Das Erzgebirge ist definitiv Kategorie „Endgegner“. 😅😅😅

      OP, I will say that will love: You haven’t been deep in the cities or the country side. I understand most deep dialects, but even I have to seriously concentrate understanding country side people eg next to Oldenburg, Niedersachsen. They genuinely speak Plattdüütsch there (not to mention the rarest linguistic minority of it). I agree with the very south German parts and that Münster is much easier to understand than most places around it, but Münster not just has the special language of „Masematte“, but it also has several quirks and unusual stresses of words if you speak with the true locals, so people whose family has been here for generations. It’s not even remotely as bad as Bairisch, gut I can assure you, you might get a headache before you get used to it, especially since they tend to mumble and make „hmm“ sounds instead of saying full sentences to you. Most communication is intertextual, by the length of the sentence or if they actually move to speak into your direction. The biggest difference however is a style difference. A positive formulated praise „you look great“ is in 99% a lie. If they actually mean it they say „You don’t look bad“. Also shitting on yourself „I am so dumb“ is a normal hobby in Münsterland. The cultural difference let’s them even clash with other Germans, especially Saxon and Sachsen -Anhalt. They can’t deal with that at all and vice versa.
