Awww :D I adore Fränkisch! That is where my family is from - Nürnberg, and Erlangen. Growing up, my Opa would only teach me hochdeutsch, (he refused to allow me to learn Fränkisch), but one of my cousins that I am close with is teaching it to me now, and I absolutey adore it. :)
In fact, if you look at my LJ profile page, I have posted something auf Fränkisch thatmy cousin found... this poem, auf Fränkisch, kind of humourous, about being a "Clubberer" (FC Nürnberg fan)...or, auf Fränkisch, it would be glubärä.
But thank you for sharing this! Now if only there were books or something to help learn Fränkisch, I would be a very happy girl!
Oh , you should try to get your hands on the Franconian versions of Asterix. They are dead funny ! And you might want to have a look for JBO too - Rockband that started out in a beertent in Franconia and takes well known (Rock)songs and translates them into Franconian...
Well, my Fränkisch curiousity got the better of me after I commented to you, so I went on to amazon.de and found some books on Fränkisch, so I will probably order them...and they have the Asterix ones also. :D
And speaking of that, I came across something else that I found rather amusing..it's an article in English on Frankenland, but it all rings true, and I especially love the quote about "Whoever wins the heart of a Franconian - a feat which really does take some time - will have conquered it forever.". :)
Why did you leave Frankenland if I might ask? I've always been told "Once you live in Frankenland, you'll always stay"...oda.... "wenn man einmal in franken gwohnt hat, dann will mer nemmer weg von da". :)
Another Franconian! :D I looked at your LJ profile...you now live in Cali? Abba...warum??? What brought you from Frankenland to the US? ...I would write more auf deutsch...but I am not sure how appropriate it is to do so? I got "yelled at" for too much German on my FCN forum before XD
Deutsch, English, it's all good. You got "yelled" at for talking too much German? Oh please? Some ppl make issues were there are none. (rolls eyes

I take it that you no longer live in Frankenland?
