  • germany has about 4-5 truly difficult dialects I’d say. (being an native speaker) I could understand every dialect after being immersed for a couple of hours except for bavarian tho 😅

    there are a lot more local accents and dialects but Sächsisch, Pfälzerisch & Bayrisch are the ones that are really difficult to understand even for german natives from other areas. Hessisch partially as well. These are all bound to their local areas.

    I’m speaking Hochdeutsch (“plain german” which should be the german y’all are learning in school) but there is also Plattdeutsch (spoken mostly in the north) which is it’s own language that is on it’s way to extinction.
