<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3362166, member: 39&quot;]In&nbsp; Switzerland people obviously speak something that is not &quot;German German&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but when it comes to writing (newspapers etc.), they usually do not use Swiss German. Their written German is pretty much the same as ours, except for various legal/administrative terms (and the non-use of ß/ẞ). Oh, and on television in DE they are usually subtitled or dubbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Austrian German - is there such a thing? It sounds different from what is spoken where I live, but I think that difference is gradual: To me &quot;Bavarian German&quot; is as easy or tough as &quot;Tyrolean German&quot;. The pronunciation in audio-visual media (in Austria mostly Vienna based) has surely influenced the language in other parts of the country. But what people speak in Germany is not the same everywhere either. &quot;Dem Willi sing Pänz ...&quot; would probably sound weird for people outside the Greater Cologne area. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Tschüs,</p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
