The German language is filled with up to 40,000 different dialects across the German-speaking world! Of course, we are not just talking about different German accents, but entirely different words being used to say the same thing. Because of that, a standard German had to be agreed upon just so German speakers can actually communicate with one another! In June, we set out on a mission to share with the world how diverse these dialects are by having real native speakers say example words and sentences in their dialect. From Sächsisch to Swiss German and from Swabian to Plattdeutsch or Fränkisch, how many of these dialects can you understand? 😊

I am a native of southwest Germany, can understand all the dialects around it, and the more I come to northern Germany, the less the dialect is understandable to me, especially Platt.

That seems to be the general consensus when it comes to what they speak in north Germany 😅

@@PassportTwo Same is true for the other direction (friend from Berlin visiting the Black Forest after the waitress explainend the meal: "Ehm, kann das jemand für mich übersetzen??"). Around 1990 there was a TV series "Zwei Münchner in Hamburg" which addresses in a funny way the situation of north Germans and south Germans not understanding each other. Visit the channel of comedian Cossu Rap for jokes with his dialect of Offenburg and the Black Forest.

@hannofranz7973 2 года назад

Plattgerman isn't a dialect of Standard German. It's a proper language. Plattgerman as Dutch hasn't followed a number of mainly consonant shifts that middle and high German have adapted throughout history. Hochdeutsch ( standard German ) has evolved from the latter. For this reason, the local dialects within those are stronger than the local variants of standard German in Northern Germany. There you may find a larger variety among low German ( platt ) dialects. The standard language was basically taken over as such in the North.

@Pewtah 2 года назад

According to "pancake": it is Pfannkuchen. In regions where the Berliner (the donut with jam) is called Pfannkuchen, the pancake is called Eierkuchen (eggs-cake). In Austria I know it as Palatschinken. There are also Omelette and Crepe (both words are of french origin) and as I have learned that the names stand for different recipes. DYK that Flädle or Frittatte(n) are the unsweetend pancake, cut in stripes, as additions to soups? So in southern Germany there is more likely to be a Flädlesuppe than a Pfannkuchenstreifensuppe.

@PassportTwo 2 года назад

Great explanation and clarification! Thank you 😊

@andreasrehn7454 2 года назад

Well, those who say Berliner to donuts and pfanenkuchen to pancakes will understand Omelette speaking of an Eierkuchen, which is not a pancake but.. an omelette... It's just in Berlin where everything gets all confused... 🤣😂🤣

@shigarumo2263 2 года назад

I'm from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und here it's both Pfannkuchen. The Berliner and the Pfannkuchen are both just Pfannkuchen. :D We know the difference by: The one you make at home yourself (this flat thing) and the one you usually just buy in a bakery (the Berliner). Because it's rare that you make Berliner Pfannkuchen yourself.

@Romy-90 2 года назад

I consider myself speaking only Hochdeutsch and honestly: I had trouble understanding 80 % of the spoken sentences. Even as a native speaker I did not realize that the German language was THAT diverse! Wow!

@kgspollux6998 2 года назад

One main reason for the tremendous diversity of dialects (even from village to its neighbour vlllage) was the ancient feudalism as form of government. Peasants were serfs of the local peer and needed his/her urgent permission for a wedding or simply a moving from one village to an other. This led to closed linguistic biotopes, where local accents, colorations or sloppiness was intensified from generation to generation.

@MoLauer 2 года назад

Because there was a bit of confusion in the comments of the last video why Söl'ring was included in a video about german dialects: Söl'ring is a dialect of the North Frisian language and therefor a part of the Frisian languages, which are actually more closely related to English than German. They included it, because I asked them, if they could give it a little more exposure, which is something that this highly endangered language really needs. PS: It is also only spoken in Germany. So maybe fitting for a video about language diversity in the german sprachraum.

@eryr_llwyd 2 года назад

There used to be even more dialects, they all died out due to the results of the war. My grandma spoke "Schlesisch" and it still makes me cry to hear it. But no one does any more. The older people are dead, the younger adopted to the local dialect of the region they came to. I'm from Brandenburg and understand all the dialects in the eastern part of Germany, but I was totally lost when I was in a small village in Franken for the holidays 😂

@mizapf 2 года назад

The JFK story about the fauxpas with the donut is very widespread but almost no German understands the point, as "Ich bin ein Berliner" ("I am (feel like) a Berlin citizen") was fully understandable (like "I feel part of you Berlin people"), while "Ich bin Berliner" ("I was born/am living in Berlin") would have been plain wrong.

Fun fact about Saarländisch: Women are usually referred to with the neutral article ("das", or "es" in dialect), not the feminine article ("die"). This is not meant to be disrespectful and women themselves also use this form. Example: "Es Maria hat gesaat, dass..." literally translates to "Das Maria hat gesagt, dass..." = "[neutral article] Maria said that...". Note that other than in English it is common to refer to someone with the article in German (in some situations) (Der Alex, die Maria, etc)

@uliwehner 2 года назад

ich glaube das ist nicht nur im saarland so. Ich kenne das auch und ich habe es bestimmt nicht im Saarland gehoert. Ich selber bin aus unterfranken. Schade dass fraenkisch nicht vertreten ist. Ich selber wohne schon ueber 20 jahre in den USA. Bin also kein idealer sprachtaeter :)

@nirutivan9811 2 года назад

Hier in der Schweiz wird dies auch manchmal noch gemacht („s‘Maria het gseit…“). Aber es wird eigentlich nur noch für ältere Leute und für kleine Kinder. Für eine Frau in meinem Alter würde ich den weiblichen Artikel und nicht den sächlichen verwenden.

Dialects are intriguing! My husband, children and I were vacationing it Kärnten, Austria. An older woman sat near us. She began speaking to us. She looked at me and said, “You are American but you ( at my husband) come from x village.” My husband really tries to always speak Hochdeutsch. He explained to her that he worked many years in x but actually lived a few villages over in BaWü. She had family in x. I was amazed at her observations. My parents are from Italy and I grew up in the US with all my older relatives speaking Italian at home. It wasn’t until I was about 12 that I realized my mother spoke a very different Italian to non-relatives. I asked her why. She said they come from x and don’t speak our dialect. 😂

Pfannkuchen or Eierkuchen. Eastern Lower Saxony I totally relate to asking someone to tell the children to stop playing in the snow and go clean their rooms instead. So they don’t hate ME😁

OMG this is so funny 🤣 I was born and raised in Lower Saxony where we speak "Hochdeutsch" and I didn't understand the most people in the video. Like you guys said. Actually two weeks ago I visited Zürich for the first time and very nice people were talking to me in Switzer german and I just couldn't understand a word. I'm better in understanding English and French than the dialects in German.

@aniinnrchoque1861 2 года назад

My absolute favorite German Dialect remains Easter Upper Lusitian. It's dying out but my dad and gramps still speak it fine. It sounds vastly different to most other dialects too because the r is pronounced like it is in English. I might be able to catch some phrases for you. For anyone interested in the Dialect go visit Zittau and there you go.

@ralfhtg1056 2 года назад

Another example: speaking about fruits: Apfelsine or Orange. In the southern parts of Germany Orange is predominant. In the northern parts we say Apfelsine (coming from Apel de Sina, meaning apple from China). Here in Saxony we say Apfelsine. And we say Pfannkuchen to what some refer to as "Berliner", and we say "Eierkuchen" to what some refer to as pancake/Pfannkuchen. There is also a potato made specialty that some erroneously call "Pfannkuchen". There are also several words for it: Grüner Backs, Kartoffelpuffer, Klitscher Söl'ring is so far off of actual German, it is a foreign language to me (I come from Saxony).

Ick hätt jerne een oder zwee Pfannkuchen, the dialects of Berlin and Brandenburg have influences from French because of the Huguenots who had to flee France and came to Berlin, that's why we use words like Bulette for meat ball, Portemonnaie for briefcase, other words are origin from Yiddish like Mischpoke for a kind of so called unwanted part of family, Meschugge for crazy or maybe weird, Chuzpe for a charming kind of insolence or audacity, some other words have Slavic root's like Halunke for scoundrel or Droschke for cab.

I grew up on a street with 75% German-Americans: several PA Dutch and several families with immigrant parents or grandparents. My Cub Scout Den Mother was a German woman. However, my ideas of German culture were actually very biased toward Bavarian, as that is the ancestry of my former neighbors. Much like Italian-Americans are typically of Sicilian origins.

@JumpmenDe 2 года назад

Not really a dialect, but "Masematte" is an alternate set of words that were used in medieval times around the Münster area to communicate without the authorities listening. Many of those words are used in daily conversations, even today by locals. Words like "Jovel" = "Good" or "Schovel" = Bad. I grew up with this, so the following sentance would make perfect sense to me :): "Der Koten hat eine Jovle Leeze" (This Kid has a good bike)

@SMBartwork 2 года назад

This reminds me of a U.S. movie where a U.S. officer is sent to a small Bavarian village to oversee the reconstruction efforts of the administration, infrastructure, etc. He arrives, everyone is nice and friendly and talks to him in a way that he can understand them perfectly. His adjutant (afaicr a german who fled before the war), who arrived a few days before him, just grins to himself. Then, one day, a severe storm with flooding, etc., hits. The officer wants to help and finds himself in a crowd of German civilians that he suddenly doesn't understand. "I learned German for two years at the university," he complains to his adjutant. "What the hell kind of language do they speak here". The grinning adjutant replied, "Well, the civilians wanted to be on their best behavior and strained for you to understand them. But now they speak their dialect because they have to act fast". Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was a black and white film, certainly from the 1950s

Fast forward a few years i moved to another village maybe 30 km away, i went to a bakery there and saw they had kiachal, something my grandma would make a lot when i was a kid. Well i didnt manage to order that properly because they had a totally different name for it in this village: "auszongne". BAVARIA sometimes it would be nice when you could manage to use not completly different names for the same thing!

As example my grandma allways says words like Knäppchen (End-piece of bread), Frikadüse (Meatball), Jovel ( Spoken as "Schovel" the feeling when you get sick and want to puke), kirre ( "Du macht mich noch kirre" = "You make me go crazy"), ... we also have a few words for dishes you often find under another name in other parts of Germany as for example Struwen and Stipmilch. I also once learned something as I had to get clothes for work at an internship that I had to do during school. The shop who sold those clothes had a name and since this day I know that Malocherskove means clothes you wear ar work (I mean workplaces where you can't go in a suit or normal clothes) etc. There are a lot more words and I also sometimes use these but nobody in my family really speaks a full version of Münsterlnder Platt so I am not too good with the whole dialect

@@xwormwood yes, the famous vowel shift in all languages of the Bayern-Laguage-Family, where A is shifted to O („Alter“-> „Oida“ etc). However, we in Austria say that the folks from Styria (eg Knittelfeld) „bark“ like dogs, when they speak their dialect. But it is more pronounced in the Eastern Part of Styria. („gelt?“ (nicht war?) turns into „göü“?)

My family is from Oberösterreich (Innviertel) but I live in Berlin and we call it now, at least in my immediate family, "a Berlina Krapfn", but "Krapfn" with family in Austria. In Berlin, though, they call it Pfannkuchen. For "German pancake", in Berlin, what they call "Eierkuchen" is, for me, "Palatschinken" or "Omeletten".

@TheSylfaein 2 года назад

Reminds me of the time i worked with a group of people from Augsburg up here in Bremen. At noon, one of them asked me: "Mogscht au a hendl hobn?" (written as heard) - "Wat? Händel? Hebel? O_o". He repeated the sentence 2 times and i still didn't understand wha he wanted. Then he said in - pretty much flawless - Hochdeutsch: "Ob du auch ein Brathähnchen möchtest" ("If you would ike a roasted chicken"). Almost a decade later our company had to work in Stuttgart for 3 weeks. I picked up some regional words and annoyed the hell out of my co-workers. xD

The German pancake is Eierkuchen, at least that's what my mom called them when she made them. They are much larger in diameter than American pancakes but flatter. But not as flat as French crêpes :D - Also, I noted sometimes there appeared "sächsisch" in your video but it sounded like hochdeutsch almost. My grandparents are from Thuringia and Saxony, respectively. So I can recognize the dialect but can only speak it a little bit :D Fun video!!

I just remembered a thing, which is nice to know. Normally in Germany the "ST" is pronounced "SHT". But sometimes, at least in "Plattdeutsch" it is pronounced as "ST" without the "SH"-sound. In the biggest part, that came not in my speechpattern. Except in the word "Schornstein" ("chimney"). Perhaps other words, too, but I don't remember those. That are words, I use very seldom.

First, thanks, you guys are doing great, great videos. Nearby regions in Germany often have the same kind of dialect or similar vocabulary, I think it's interesting if you show your clips from south to north or vice versa, so you can see how the words change in the country. Your kind of mixed presentation is a bit confusing, plus unfortunately a couple of the participants don't speak in dialect of their region but only High German. You can not filter this, but in an order by region would then also be noticed by viewers as an exception and improve the experience. to improve I have an idea: the younger generation hardly speaks dialect, but parents and grandparents do. Ask your audience to make audio recordings of their parents. For the vocabulary you present. And since not everyone is technically savvy, perhaps we can send it to you via WhatsApp, that you set up a channel for it. there the sending of speech is easy.

@PassportTwo 2 года назад

So glad you enjoyed it! When it comes to the organization of the video clips, I try and put extremely different sounding together if possible so that those that don't speak German can still hear a difference. If I did it by region and slowly moved across the countries then sometimes there isn't enough of a difference from clip to clip so that those non-German speakers who are still interested can't hear the difference. Thanks so much for your ideas though! I will definitely consider them for the next video 😊

If someone speaks dialect it is quite easy to assign the speaker to a certain region. It is often even possible if a dialect speaker (try to) speak standard German to tell where he is from. There are huge differences between the dialects and also between some dialects and standard German. For example, I speak a southern dialect and for me it is impossible to speak with people from northern Germany if they speak dialect. The same would be true for standard German. Of course as you are exposed to standard German through media and later school from a very young age you get fluent with it. Though if I would stick to dialect only I would not be able to talk with a speaker of standard German in a meaningful way. There are so many differences in pronunciation, vocabulary and even grammar that they are like different languages.

I am from Siegen. In the direction of Cologne I hear clear differences, but understandable. I can understand the south and east well, probably because I am related in this direction. But Low German from the north needs a translator. I also live just south of a language border, linguistically more towards Hessen and RLP than NRW. Siegen used to belong to the Koblenz region before it came to Westphalia. But never belonged to the Cologne region. Standard German developed out of the geographically middle dialects. The further you go north or south the differences become bigger.

@waltergro9102 2 года назад

Strictly speaking from the Upper German chancery language Gemain Teutsch (Common German) that was based on Austro-Bavarian and East Franconian. Next step Saxon Chancery Language with more Franconian and East Central German input. Then Luther added much Upper Saxon (East Central German) vernacular and many minor inputs from other dialects. That was the Hochdeutsch of Luther's Bible translation.

I´m from East-Germany and we usually say Pfannkuchen instead of Berliner or Krapfen. But I always understood both. When i came to Hessen and I heard them saying "Kreppel", I didn´t expect them to use this word for a Pfannkuchen. Cause we in the eastern parts only know "Kräppelchen", but that is a complete different thing. It´s usually sold on Christmas markets and is also known as "Schmalzkuchen". If you ever get the chance to try it around Christmas season, then do it, cause usually it´s not sold any other time of the year and making them by yourself is a hugh mess. 😃

Hi, I'm a native German and I want to ask you,what do you think about the Ruhrgebiet or Ruhrpott ( the Area around the river "Ruhr")? It has its own kind of dialect (but not officially),that is a kind of German mixed with words of Jiddisch,French, Westfälisch Platt, Ostpreussisch, Polnisch and many more. The Ruhrpott (Pott means Pit or coalmine) is a meltingpot of many European people who are migrated to work together on a coalmine. For example the word "Maloche" = Arbeit.

I come from North Rhine-Westphalia and a Berliner is a ball of deep-fried dough filled with jam or, at Carnival time, with punch. I was quite astonished when I found out in Berlin, that Berliners call this things Pfannkuchen, which is something completely different in North Rhine-Westphalia. Here is a Pfannkuchen pretty much what a pancake is in the US and it's made in the pan. Incidentally, it must have been a hell of a job, from the many language examples. just to adjust the volume.

Pfannkuchen is the word, but if we go by my grandparents than we have to make a difference here, because my grandparents said as soon you add eggs to the dough it should be named as an Eierpfannkuchen. Seriously I don't care too much and call everything Pfannkuchen, except when it's specific recipe like as example when I would make fluffy American or Japanese pancakes than I would ad the name of the origin and for the French one we call it Crepe because we all associate the thin one made on a round hot plate with France while all other types of pancake come from a pan if that makes sense because a pan is a Pfanne in German.
