There are not only 10 dialects, there are hundreds. In the old days, every city had its own.

stimmt nur unterscheiden die sich nicht so sehr sehr

The different "dialects" are due to the fact that the original Germanic peoples all had their own language. Today's dialects are a result of this, as is High German, which was introduced over time for the very reason that everyone should be able to understand each other.

I give him probs for trying but it wasnt really good :D The dialects also all have their distinct melodies. He was doing same melody for almost all dialects haha

Accent is different pronounciation, dialect is different words.

And even difrent Letters ( schweizer Deutsch dont use the ß Like isual german. Hunsrück deutsch use the ë, thats actually not a German Letter )

Very interesting video! 7:41 The Schweizer-Deutsch (Swiss-German) has actually more than 10 dialects, it's not just one. Every canton in Switzerland has its own dialect. As a Swiss I understand about 90% of the German dialects spoken in Germany, Switzerland & Austria. Greetings😁🇨🇭

Germany has more than 20 major dialects and hundreds of sub groups. In my city is a dialect border of three regions. I have influences from Ruhr area dialect in the north, Westfalian in the east and Ripuarian which includes Kölsch (Cologne dialect) in the south. I have a hard time to understand my neighbours if they speak their specific dialects. It is common that a dialect in the very next village is completely different and hard to understand while using the same dialect. Examples of my dialect and Standard German: Dörpel or Suol instead of Türschwelle (door sill); Woarbelte instead of Heidelbeere/Blaubeere (blueberry); Enschenör instead of Ingenieur (ingeneer)

I feel so with him trying all these dialects. 😄 Usually as a German you know when it is a real one and when it is fake.

His bavarian is verrrry mild. 😉 We have a different dialect (slightly but noticable) in every village. My neighbour village have some different words than us and a different sentence structure.

Yeah. English is related to German so it makes sense why Old English sounds more similar.

Well, more than 10 or 12 dialects? Thats funny. 😄Say 100-200 dialects and you are closer to the truth. If the old woman three villages away, start her deep dialect, I don`t understand much. But yes, it´s a good start, and an one video you can´t tell about all. But if you ask why it is so? We was 1500 years long a federal country. Because this we have so much dialects.

From an English perspective, "ei" and "ie" are usually pronounced the other way around.

There was an awful lot of major dialects missing and some of the presented ones were portrayed middling at best, the problem is that he was so focused on having them easily understandable that a lot of what makes these dialects unique got lost

You are mixing up accents with dialects. It's not the same thing. With accents mostly just the pronunciation is different but everyone uses the same words with some exceptions maybe. But with dialects, it's not just that. Different regions have totally different words for the same meaning or the words are similar but written and pronounced slightly differently.

the worst I heard was an Australian guy who learned "german" in school. Well, he learned it from a saxon, so he when he spoke german, he was sächseln with an australian accent. Couldn't understand a word as a westphalian.

There are much more than 10 Dialects, it was funny, but he did it not very accurate, everybody from this regions would say... what???

He is so bad in pronouncing the dialects. He is swabian, but even that is pronounced bad.The joke of the sentences is that bread rolls are diferent words in every dialect.

I had two colleagues, one from Bavaria, one from the Pfalz. In order to communicate they both had to switch to "Hochdeutsch". SIDENOTE: My Chinese or Turkish colleagues had no trouble understanding either one when they used their dialect.

In Germany there are International schools for english speakers! So if you're an international person you're going to Those schools, where they speak english

It's not good idea to try to speak in a different dialect you are not grown up with. It's not authentic at all. But it's true that people from the north don't understand the people from the south and vice versa. I live between Munich and Augsburg in Bavaria and speak bavarian like the people in Munich. But in Augsburg (20km away from home) I sometimes understand not a single word. They speak extreme swabian dialect.

Some German, French and Italian dialects are more different than Slavic languages are from each other. They were successful in overcoming political problems and, for reasons of practicality, managed to unite into one nation, unlike the Slavs. However, it must be emphasized that the Slavic nations were incited against each other by different empires for thousands of years, so that they would not unite into one strong nation. Similarly, in Germany and Italy, larger powers kept them separated in various less powerful and influential kingdoms, to become one nation they had to go to war.

There are not just 10 dialects, there are more than a hundred dialects

We even have often difrent accents betwen difrent villages ( i lissend that i live in a city in Germany ) for example in hunsbrück

Why should the German language be any different than the English language? In any language there are regional dialects.

Swabian is sassy probably cause we have Mercedes and Porsche production here and they were invented here

As a German, this is hilarious hahaha schwäbisch isn't sassy at all, nor are South Germans the girls or the valley people of Germany, in fact I'd say south German dialects are viewed as pretty ugly within Germany. Berlinerisch isn't standard German either and Berlin is more the "party city" and "the girls" than anything from the south. The south is pretty modest, a bit more traditional, Berlin is the polar opposite, it's like sin city basically 😂

and that are just the Main Dialects/accents, if we go deeper there are regional ones and even in some villages are different ones

As a schwäbisch speaking person its very interesting to me to see someone saying they like it haha. " Scheana dag no"

4:32 Ha ha, sorry no beaches in the south. 🤣Beaches in the north, mountains and Lederhosenbavarians in the south.

12 dialects? More like 100+

I come from a small village in Hesse. Hesse is in the middle of Germany. Here the dialects vary from village to village. I speak dialect myself. There are several dialects in Hesse. For example, I have great difficulty understanding someone from a place 20 km away when they speak dialect. The dialects presented there are only the main dialects.

Fun fact: The German dialect "Kölsch" is the only one that you can speak and drink. "Kölsch" is spoken in the area around Cologne. And then there is the beer, which can only be brewed in the Cologne area. 🤗😉 Magnus

there are even more but less known dialects

to understand why the location of the accents are strange you have to know that the innergerman countie borders dont always reflect their historic borders, for example bavaria consists of schwäbisch, fränkisch and pfälzisch people which all have/had their own way to speak. about angelsächsich they are germanic people from the tribe of the angeln aswell as the sachsen(in english saxons) that migrated in hight numbers to the british isles during the great migration caused by the huns, to this day the english language has strong similarities with the niedersächsisch language. i was surprised that badensisch is not its own dialekt since its different from schwäbisch but still i guess to similar. about bavarian dialect i think it is noteworthy that above and belowbavarian differs very hard in writting and pronounciation so that both of them can have problems in understanding each other even when both speak bavarian just from different regions of the pfalz. also i thought plattdeutsch was a disease and they were not really speaking something that would come close to human language, guess i have to appologize so my nothern relatives.

e.g. Frisian is a language and not a dialect

Anglo sax means angelsächsisch. A lot of englisch people are related to northern German people and have the same ancestors . Old English and old northern lower German are almost identical . Angeln was a Tribe now it’s a called english people and saxons are still here , the both and the celts as well as some romanic people formed Great Britain end England

Cool, now I know that I am an La girl, because I grew up in South west Germany. The weather is a bit better there, but the area is pretty provincial. I recommend to search for native dialect speakers, because his pronunciation is pretty bad.

Ok, im German, 100% born and raised and living in Berlin. I did not understand or ever hear about most of them lol

there are international courses in German universities

It sounds like Scottish sometimes

Turkish is the second most spoken language in Germany after German. Everybody learns english in school and most people at least speak and understand basic english, but is not at all a language most people use to communicate in everyday life. Maybe in Berlin but that's an exception.

I understood your pronunciation in High German well. But fortunately there is High German. There are a few dialects in Germany that give the impression that people are vacationing abroad and not in Germany.👍👌💥 Greetings from northern Germany, here we speak High German, the real north.

Yeah ... good idea to do a video like that. They should have used native speakers for the dialects though... This guy butchers pretty much all of them. 😅🙈 Also make sure to not use "accent" and "dialect" as synonyms. It's done quite ofter unfortunately. You have an accent if you as a native speaker of language A speak language B. This accent will usually identify you as not being a native speaker of language B and maybe even as a native speaker of language A. For example I'm sure I have a german accent when speaking english. Though I try my best of course. A dialect on the other hand is a variety of a language. We all speak German over here but we do have a huge regional variety when it comes to pronunciation and even some words.

Plattdeutsch is not an Accent or dialect, its a Language that mostly speaking in Northgermany Area...

Your pronunciation of "hochdeutsch" was rather good for an American. Do I remember it correctly, that you speak Spanish as well as English?

because germany wasn't a kingdom like Britain and France for example, there was no real "guidance" on the language. so German developed independently in basically every village until Martin Luther translated the bible. that's when his dialect basically became the standard German. even nowadays there are things that have dozens of names, depending on the region and the dialect, e.g. the end of a bread or the apple core.

No you totally misunderstand the concept of Hochdeutsch. This is what people in England call received pronounciation. It can be formal but is not formal as such. It is German without an accent.

It's not "accents". It's called dialects. Accent is when you are speaking a foreign language.
