TotalLossBrain posted:There is a huge variety in dialects in Germany alone. For example, traditional Plattdeutsch vernacular of North Germany and Schwabendeutsch can also be nearly impossible for non-locals to understand. Plattdeutsch is more similar to the Scandinavian languages, which makes sense because the Germanic languages like most others were very much a dialect continuum before strong states started to intentionally homogenize the dialects within their areas of control. I think Germany has a lot of well preserved regional dialects because it was divided into multiple self governing states up until 150 years ago (and still is to an extent) and the population density of Germany meant that each distinct dialect also has had enough momentum to carry in a viable state through to the present day. While in Sweden for example the state has been more centralized for a few hundred years longer and the really unintelligible dialects have mostly died out because they had sub 5000 speakers at their peak, and now at most like a dozen really old and lonely people.

If you're into this sort of thing the University of Copenhagen has a map of Danish dialects with recorded interviews of the different dialects: https://dialekt.ku.dk/dialektkort/ I find it so fascinating that such a tiny place had a richness of dialects

Oh hey we did that here in Germany 15 years ago.   Had no power for a couple of days! It actually led to the power company replacing 60% of their pylons because some of them were made with garbage steel in the 40s. They also payed 300€ to every child being born nine month later in the afflicted areas

It’s not only that Germany had so many little states, there's also an isogloss running right through it which separates High German from Low German (and Dutch, English etc.).

If it makes you feel better, German NIMBYs are also constantly fighting the kind of grid upgrades that are absolutely necessary to keep the grid stable, especially big lines connecting north and south. Though I don't think any state government is deliberately trying to keep outside connections low, because that's completely insane. Well, except Bavaria perhaps.

I grew up north of the line and we definitely had Ick or Icke instead of Ich. But a k in machen? Never heard anyone say that growing up. I suspect this applies to dialects that have to be practiced/maintained rather than common 20th century German? mrmcd posted:Bavaria is the Texas of Germany so this tracks.

"Machen" is "maken" in Platt, and the conjugation is pretty entertaining unless you are trying to learn the language. In general "ch" turns to a "k" in a bunch of words in Plattdeutsch. It's a great language btw., sitting somewhere between Dutch and German. (I can just barely understand Platt because I learned some of it in school, but it was a long time ago…)

Apparently there's a Platt Wikipedia article on Frisian, and I think that's great: https://nds.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freesch I think Frisian is closer to Dutch while Platt is closer to German? I'm reaching the limits of my first-hand knowledge here

I’m working a project improving Texasses electrical reliability. Their existing infrastructure is so amazingly poo poo and the local utilities are just now figuring out how effectively electronically track their internal resources because it turns out theft has been a major issue.
