Good map. But the frisian dialect definitely spreads farther south.
People in the Ore Mountain also have their own distinct dialect which is not Upper Saxon.
The Austrians will be very glad to hear, that they speak southern bavarian
Nürnberg should still be part of 26, not of 33, otherwise pretty nice map I suppose.
Does Ruhrpott count as 6 or 15 ?
oh sure forget about prussia lmfao
Low German / Low Saxon is considered by most linguists as far as I know as a distinct language. Nowadays the social use of the language is minoritary and most people in the area speak German and many of those who continue using Low Saxon have a lot of German influence in their Low Saxon.
Nevertheless, I believe this post should at least acknowledge that many consider Low Saxon to be a distinct language: it is recognized as a regional language by the Netherlands and by Germany.
wait what? North Baden is franconian? That cannot be correct.
Düsseldorf resident here. Can confirm that people here get pissed off if you mistakenly call them Dutch.
this is such a bullshit . why does this shit gets reposted ?
technically there’s a very small German-speaking minority in Poland, but I don’t know if this should be on there.
No Ruhrpott gibberish?! Hömma! So geht datt abba nich, woll?
28 swabian could be devided in Like 5 different styles. Stuttgart-swabian sounds different then ulm-swabian or lake of constance swabian
Ach, schee zu seje, dess aach hessisch rischdisch maggierd is.
Way too many. At least they should be registered somehow so that they can be learned. Otherwise, it’s time to stop speaking “wrong” / without rules.
My father and grandmother still speak with an ripuarian dialect. Too bad it didn’t catch on.
It’s nice, but very general. When moving from the Inn to Vienna, you cross multiple regional dialects.
But that would be a mess to look at.
Stupid French
The austrians don’t speak southern bavarian.

To be fair Luxembourgish is officially a language, not a dialect – even though there’s some weirder dialects there that are not considered to be their own languages. C’est la vie
Ah the various tribes of the Germans.
I’m somewhat joking. Another conversation on this forum pointed out that Germans seem to be more regionally focused and see those born outside “their region” as German note their region and those from beyond the boarders are “not really German” to some degree.
I post this with no ill will, just something I figured out today on the group.
I’m surprised 1 and 2 are actually different
Where is the Sauerländer Platt? 🙁
North Bavarian 🤪 it’s call fränkisch
Can’t figure out what the green-brown-yellowish is according to the Legende tho…
I mean Kiel, Flensburg, Hamburg, Bremen etc
Ruhrpottisch 4 life.
All of these subdivide into further regional dialects.
10 is not really spoken there anymore. Only a few words and pronounciations remain, the rest is pretty much 24.
SPRICH
This Map is missing Meddlfränkisch
Guy I can you not hear
19 is at least 4 diffrent dialects..
south hessian and north hessian are very diffrent, not to mention odenwälder platt and the sounds the ppl around the Schwalm do..
Id like to see a war in Hoi4 where all the germanic languages fight against each other.
The map ignores Saarländisch
East Franconian carries too far north, regions north of the Rennsteig speak Thuringian
Make Plattdeutsch great again
There can be only one Schwäbisch!
The lower saxon they speak in Bremen is definitely different from the one they speak in Hamburg
I‘m from the Allgäu. We have our own dialect, we do not speak Swabian.
In Mannheim, Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg the Dialekt spoken is “Kurpfälzisch”, not “Südfränkisch”
Flemish language in France “suffered reasonably”? “Suffered dramatically” you mean! In a total of about 2.5 million people in French Flanders (Lille région comprised), we are barely 10 000 left speaking. I’m afraid to say that Flemish in French Flanders is on its way to the grave, my friends…

We people in the south-west are the only real [Almans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alemannic_German) in Germany 😉
