       @superruserr Hah. When my parents moved from central to southwestern Germany in the 1970s, I did not understand a single word the new neighbor children were saying. At least they had to use standard German in school.

       @superruserr That's alot... In my case, the first time I really recognized my (slight) dialect was when I stared living in a different region in Germany than I was born and raised in. Additionally, I'm used to rather plain Standard German and after some years I'm still struggling with some Saxons I try to understand here.

       @superruserr thanks, a simple search already helped me out. i grew up at center of 43, "erzgebirgisch". But the things with dialect are way more complicated than this map can show. e.g. in a very long village not far from where i grew up: people were able to tell from language if someone lives in lower end, upper end of village or in between. i was also able to tell from which neighbor village someone comes only by listening.

       @mg @superruserr I remember that from natives in the rural areas around Freiburg/Brsg. too (probably still true today, but you don't get to see much of it in the city).It also was rather important which village you were from - the usual regional rivalries aside, depending on the owner in previous centuries, they were either predominantly catholic or protestants, and some didn't want to mingle.

       @galaxis @mg That makes a lot of sense and it's not the first time that such groupings exist around dialects
