I think the situation is quite similar. AT and CH basically using german as a language (written), but they have very different dialect (pronunciation), sorry i am not a linguistic guy, so the exact terminology might be different.
But i think (most) AT and CH people are not happy when you compare them to germans
And those delicious little balls are orignally from AT, but as i said the language is german^^
Yeah, one of my friends from work is Swiss & her view on the Austrian dialect was quite amusing, though not one I’d share with my boss… and being a typical Brit, I’m linguistically limited (though I do understand the odd word that I hear in German).
Yeah, you can get the same problem in English with a very strong Irish or Scottish accent, and to a lesser extent the accents from Manchester, Liverpool & the bottom left of England (Devon/Cornwall). And I spent many years taking the piss out of my niece’s Brummie (Birmingham) accent. They all know that the Home Counties (counties adjacent to London) accent is the correct one.
Yeah already heard about that scottish/irish stuff, i think it is indeed very similar to that bavarian thing. it depends on the region ,there are alot of sub-dialect, some even used totally different vocabulary.
But there are also some similar things(with less imapct) all over germany. alot of regional dialects.
Languages are indeed fascinating
And sorry if i brought you very important “Off-Topic” off-topic
I am from nothern germany, close to the “Ostsee”, between Kiel and Lübeck.
Some parts of bavaria are over 700-800 km away from me(straight line), while england is about 600-800 km away from me, depending where you want to measure.
Lübeck has a very famous candy manufacturer called “Niederegger”, they predominantly make stuff with marzipan.
Not sure how well known that stuff is in Endgland, but alot of my international friends i visited were blown away by stuff from them
I know, did leave that out on purpose to annoy you <3
You mean odd as not accurate? Or if you think about it it feels strange that some other countries over seas are closer than some parts of your own country?
Nothing is like Lübecker Niederegger Marzipan, trust me. And i do know alot of different marzipan^^
Yes, odd as in strange that a foreign country with some water inbetween it & the mainland can be closer than the furthest bit of your own country. He says thinking about Scotland. Or not.
