do Germans also have a bunch of dialects like Italians or do they all speak one same standardized language?
>>221328742Many dialects, some just sound like german but a bit retarded, some don't really sound like german
>>221329233>some just sound like german but a bit retardedthat's just what german sounds like
>>221328742You got high and low german which are two varieties still spoken separately, though high german seems to be the standard
>>221328742I speak a Bavarian dialect and in the globohomo city of Munich people don't understand me sometimes
>>221329370What about the middle?
>>221328742>full res imagehttps://files.catbox.moe/6oexha.jpgTons, even more if you include the diaspora dialects and Dutch.>>221329436I can't understand Bavarians to save my life but I can understand Schwäbisch...
>>221328742if you know anything about dialects of German, you must know of Bavarian and Saxon dialectsthe ones living by the Seas also have their dialects. they are related to Frisian.
>>221328742Do dialects in Europe countries work how english sometimes work here where its mainly weird differences in syntax and phonetics thay makes someone who is speaking the same language seem like its different or are there actually different fundamental rules to these dialects? In parts of the American South along the coastal areas for instance people speak a version of english which is barely understood by the average american but its still english.
>>221330641That's what a dialect is yes.
>>221329468how well can a d*tch and a g*rman understand each other?
>>221330641Half the time when some Yuropiss faggot says "hurr durr why don't Americans speak 5 languages like me" it's just one or two words being different and accenting a vowel differently but the call it a "dialect" and say it makes them smarter
>>221330697Barely, more similar than English and German. Some of the western dialects are quite close to dutch though in terms of sound.
>>221329308At least we don't speak a peasant language like Czech.
>>221330697Dutch is to German what Spanish is to Italian
>>221328742They are separate languages. Without the armies though.
>>221331042I'd argue it's a bit closer than that, more like Portugeuse and Spanish. Spanish and Italian is like Danish and German.
>>221328742>Yes, German is renowned for having a vast number of regional dialects, often featuring over 35 distinct regional groups and hundreds of local variations, with significant differences between northern and southern regions. While Standard German (Hochdeutsch) is used for communication, many native speakers speak a local dialect, with some in the south being entirely unintelligible to those in the north.beep boop
>>221330697When written I understand about 70-80%. When spoken maybe 10.
>>221331114I want to kill zoomer deutsche I hear in videos/online they speak with no sovl. Are dialects still common in day to day life there? Or as Standard Deutsch displaced the dialects amongst young people?
>>221331167Kinda, but apart from age it depends on the region and your social status. I grew up in a working class neighbourhood and a lot of people spoke Kölsch in day to day life. When I talk with family members or old neighbours I automatically get a relatively thick kölsch accent. From my expirience it's somewhat similar with younger generations.
>>221331320Plus kölsch has the big advantage that there are thousands of songs sung in it and pretty much everyone knows the classics from by heart.
>>221331167>Are dialects still common in day to day life there?it depends on >>221331320 this (social status) and if you're from a village or city, there's still enough young guys and gals speaking with the thickest bavarian accent
>>221331320>>221331526That's good to hear, I always wanted to move back there but it's economically unviable for the forseeable future and I'm just greatful to own a house here. The old dialectal music is what made me learn it in the first place and I was disapointed my dad never fully learned it from his mother.
>>221331644>I was disapointed my dad never fully learned it from his motherIts his life not yours chud
Where i am everyone speaks perfect hochdeutsch, niedersächsisch is dead lol
>>221331707True, I wish I could've met my grandparents though.>>221331798F
>>221329233What's Arnold Schwarzenegger's dialect? I recall Germans saying its one of the retard rural dialects.
>>221329465It's mid
>>221332084Steirisch apparently.
>>221331798why?
What's the best sounding german accent? It all kinda sounds the same to me
>>221330697>>221329468I believe Dutch used to be part of the lower-german continuum before German standardization. So a Dutch and someone from Hamburg would have had an easier time understanding each other than someone from Hamburg and someone from Wien would
>>221330707Maybe in Belgium but not outside of it. Cope.
>>221330697Spoken like 10%, written 50% at a glance and 90% if I concentrate
>>221333673Saxon
