I guess the same goes for Germans hearing Austrians or Swiss?

  1. I just tell the swiss to speak “Hochdeutsch” and watch them go balistic 😀

  2. Excuse me. Every time I hear a girl speak Flemish, I can’t stand up from the dinner table until ‘the muscles have relaxed’.

  3. As an immigrant who spent quite some time in both Flanders and Netherlands, I have to sadly attest that Flemish Dutch sounds *significantly more civilised* than Hollands Dutch.

  4. I know how it feels.

    I attended school in Germany. Took the advanced course in English because one of my teachers pushed me towards it. Whenver one guy tried to contribute I cringed so hard that my brain forced my hands towards my ears. It was horrendous. Tino, wherever you are mate, I hope your English has gotten better or you ended up switched to another language. Hopefully French. They’d deserve it.

  5. swissgerman is just a german dialect. germany has plenty of those in their own country, but they don’t exactly like them.

  6. I don’t think so. I have the impression we can say the meanest and most insulting shit and Hans will go „oh, isn‘t he/she cute.“ We have learned to make that work to our advantage.

  7. At least we have cool sounding sibiling languages.
    Lookin at you Galegos and Mirandeses

  8. I love when czechs speak. Czech is just cute polish kinda like dutch for english speakers im guessing but more adorable than redarded

  9. Nah, just makes me laugh in our case. The difference is I’m able to speak a non-standard dialect too (to a degree) but unlike our beloved southerners, I don’t have the delusion of *not* sounding extremely drunk when I do so.

  10. As a german living in the gold country I got used to it. Much rather I’m convinced that people from Jura (a bilingual canton) are neither capable of speaking french nor german

  11. Wait, I thought Belgians were cringe since they’re a mix of the 2 objectively worst countries in Europe, but instead they make both countries cope and seethe just by existing?? Based????

  12. Don’t treat us like that, I promise I will use jeetje and asjemenou when talking to you.

  13. No at this point we know that the mountain people are very queer folk. Turkish Youth slang and English speakers however…

  14. As somone from the Eastern most corner of Austria I feel like this about Vorarlbergers (people from the westernmost corner)

  15. Yo they can’t detect us but we can easily detect them. They have no idea what our accents are. How many times I heard “oh you Belgian? you don’t have the accent at all”

  16. You don’t even have to be a native speaker to feel like having a stroke when hearing people across the border(s), knowing a bit of the language is enough
