Okay wait. I am Dutch and can almost NEVER understand German cause of their weird grammar and words and stuff. But low german I can understand suddenly? That is very interesting. I should learn Low German instead of normal German
Even within the Low German group there are language branches of their own right. E.g. Low Saxon sounds more like Northumbrian English proper than other varieties of Low German.
I had relatives in the Wetterau and holy shite I could hardly understand a damn thing they were saying. If you live in Germany, learn to speak the damn language correctly will ye, sheesh! That goes particularly for Bayrisch!
and here i thought it was "Plattdüütsch" instead of "plautdietsch". is that more of a dutch thing? because i only the dutch call it "dietschland" if i recall correctly.
We speak Plautdietsch. Plautdietsch, also known as Low German or Mennonite Low German, is a dialect of East Low German. It originates from the regions of Prussia, specifically the Vistula delta region (now in modern-day Poland), where many Mennonites settled in the 16th and 17th centuries.
@@plautcast y'know, i was so close to not post that question, but i cant say i regret it one bit. i am from Schleswig-Holstein and here we speak "Plattdüütsch", "Plattdeutsch" or just "Platt". And with a little bit of strain, i do understand both a dutchman and a plautdietscher. very interesting and thank you for replying, however, how does one just learn an extinct language like you did? Most prussians went to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern wenn Pommerania fell and a great deal of Prussians lived out their days in Schleswig-Holstein and when they moved, most of the culture was erased as they tried to fit in with the locals because speech mannerisms just drop when you are around people that dont do them. again: thank you for the reply on a video that is over a decade old. commendable engagement to the cause.
Without the subtitles...We Dutch should quite understand this.. But to me it sounds like some Dutch, German, Scandinavian talking to each other in a very drunk state (and they all understand each other)
Yesss, please keep making these! They’re so helpful and I’m trying to learn Low German to speak to some relatives now that I’m 20 since my parents never taught me.
My paternal grandfather's family came from Alsace-Lorraine, they spoke both French and Plattdütch, they came over with many Mennonite families although they were Catholic, they together founded a community in northern New York, there are many gravestones written in French in the Catholic cemetery, the Mennonites have their own cemetery and still use German / Plattdütch. I'm studying German now, have a family of friends in Bayern, I also hope to study my Bible auf Deutsch.
Thanks for these videos! My family was excommunicated before I was born, and I grew up hearing my grandparents and great-aunts speak and sing in low german. I have always been a little sad not to have been taught it, and there are precious few resources even documenting the language. So anyway, thank you! This is important work!
Low German sounds like Dutch. But it is the predecessor language of it. I speak some Dutch and somehow I understand it. I am Norwegian and it is also a related language. Which has heavy influence by middle low German.
Молодцы ребята, свежий воздух и натуральная пища, рыба не из аквариума. Twalf fesch 👍🌐. Здесь в Германии едут ловить рыбу в Данию. Привозят много и забивают полный морозильник. В Сибири-России много экологических мест, где ловят рыбу. Мои двоюродные родственники и сейчас живут в Новосибирской области, в 1955 году я там родилась. Vern, sieht ähnlich nach meinen Kusens aus, Dick-Dück mütterliche Seite, die Vorfahren sind aus Osteuropa-Saporog. Удачи вам на рыбалке и довольствоваться прекрасной природой на долгие года🏞🌹🍀.
Очень понятный разговор наших предков. Я родилась в Сибири, Россия, где все говорили, в общественных местах тоже на нашем языке. Теперь живу в Германии, наш разговорный язык помаленьку переходит в немецкий, также, как когда-то письменный. Спасибо за фильм и вашу работу🙌🌹.
