Regarding your fun fact: Same in parts of Switzerland where Swiss German is spoken. Swiss German is a variant of High Allemannic (with some exceptions where Highest Allemannic is spoken). We perceive German as a foreign language that is learned in school and most people are pretty bad at pronunciation (and sometimes at grammar, since some of the tenses and cases are missing in Swiss German.
- ascar 7y agoWe usually perceive Swiss German as a different language too and not just a dialect. We usually do learn High German before attending school tho, it's not as a foreign language in school. I do remember an unfortunate situation during a summer camp in Croatia. I was sitting next to a very attractive girl from Switzerland and I was simply unable to have a conversation with her, because I couldn't understand at least half of what she was saying :(.
