Welcome to my blog dealing with Germanic languages in Central Europe. My approach - as always - is a creative one. Let's discover and enjoy the varieties and richness of this language group.

Official Swabian
It's funny how Germans still get emotional about their languages. Reading the comments on different sites to this clip I found very deprecative remarks telling us "this is not German". Well, nobody said it would be. It is Swabian. - And I found very appreciating comments from people who think it cool, great and terrific to hearing their language in an official situation.
Once more I think it is realistic to admit that there are "Germanic languages" and one "Standard German language". People are worth hearing their idiom in addition to the standard version even if there are customers on board whose only language is the standard version.
