      The fact that Bottrop, Gelsenkirchen and Essen all have different colors is interesting… As someone from that region, I barely notice the difference

      If you have the feeling that standard German is spoken in Berlin it may be because most people you’ve talked to in Berlin where not from there (be it from another part of Germany or abroad does not matter, really) and **did** speak standard German to communicate with each other – because they did not understand the locals’ language,

      Eastfrisian Platt being green … I don’t know if I want to believe that.

      Baden for the most part being red and black while Svabia is more orange breaks my heart, though. (It is not, wrong, strictly speaking, but still. ^(Das schönste Land in diehiser Welt das ist das Badener Land …))

      I guess you didn’t come across any Urberliner yet. Not the most challenging dialect if you understand the phonology, but still far way from Standard German.

      very wrong

      I live my whole life in cities and everybody I know speaks standard German.

      The colours don’t make sense. Hamburg does not speak standard german, they speak a Version of low german (Plattdeutsch) implementend into Standard german, but it’s not “nach der Schrift” (after the grammatic standard)

      Having lived in the south for now 6 years, I can manage with Bavarian and Swabian, but I interacted with a couple from Ostfriesland and I was so lost 😬

      I think you never talked to people in the north, you can’t tell me you can handle Plattdeutsch

      The black marks are absolutely spot on… Coming from someone who lives in Cologne and goes to work in Bavaria for a guy coming from one of those areas… It’s so darn difficult to understand anything he says 😅😂🤣😭

      I was born in the Ore Mountains region (the one black area in Saxony) and I’m certainly biased, but I don’t think *Erzgebirgisch* is that much different or harder than other dialects in Saxony. I mean, it isn’t easy, but to single it out as the one really hard dialect? Nah, disagree.

      Platt is more of another language than just a dialect. But to be honest, if you speak English its easier to understand than old-school swabian.

      It’s kinda funny that the area in and around Karlsruhe have three different colors although they speak the same dialect

      I can see that berlin is understandable but Standard? Cleanst version is afaik in Hannover.

      You probably wouldn’t understand anything in some of the green areas if they would use their real accent. But yes, in the south it‘s more common to speak „native tongue“ 🙂

      As someone living in one of the western orange parts: dialect is incredibly diverse and, more importantly, very dead around here.
      While I can understand it (mostly), I definitely can’t produce it authentically and none of my friends can either

      As a red bordering green, I am equally confused and offended.
