At least in urban areas of Germany, I have only heard dialect used by old people (it may be that in the countryside, young people use dialect as well). Dialects seem used far less than in Austria or German-speaking Switzerland.

Some of the speakers do display their dialect, others only accent features in their standard German.

Some time ago I posted a link to a Youtube about Dutch dialects. Controversially, it treated Frisian as a Dutch dialect. It did not examine the Dutch dialects of Belgium. The only dialect on the Youtube I could more or less understand was Kerkraads, spoken in the extreme south-east of the Netherlands, close to the German border. And that was because the dialect arguably is a form of German, and I am pretty familiar with Rhineland area German dialect varieties that are much like it.
http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHmcVjMzS-I One or two of the Youtube comments note that Kerkraads is pretty much a form of German, confirming my own impression. Edited by William Camden on 02 July 2012 at 9:44pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
