  • The bald guy sounds like a mix of dutch and scandinavian languages!

  • @TheLizardKing1967 I think it's more like comparing English to Scots - cos there are all sorts of weird dialect words as well! I was just in Zurich, I love the word 'Gruetzie' :)

  • @TheLizardKing1967 no they don't! I've met a lot of germans who think they understand swiss german. but once I start talking to them in Swiss German they don't understand a word...

  • It does matter, whether its German, Austrian German or Swiss German, I am still the absolute master of the German language-its absolutely perfect/immaculate to the very best degree!!!!!!!!

  • mfw sexplosion is on the display in the background

  • @EDIshames I think, You sir should get back in your shitty english youtube

  • the swiss douche needs to go back to his Monopoly board where he belongs

  • Well as a linguist, instead go seeing German (High German) and 'the dialects', rather I view Alemannic German (Swiss German) and Low German as separate languages to High German because they're simply too different to be considered dialects of the one language! Ig we were to take this definition, then Danish, Norwegian and Swedish would be considered dialects of one language, which they aren't for political purposes.

  • Schwyzerdütsch <3

  • Schwiizerdütsch is much beautiful for me :-)

  • Mwahaha.... well I understand all of it, and I actually prefer Swiss to German, but I grew up in Switzerland so....
