Somebody asked me recently about "Swiss German". Well, there are as many Swiss dialects out there as there are villages, I guess. Many difficult to understand, even for Swiss

Wow, I liked that! I'm definitely going to see if I can acquire some of this Patent Ochsner. I'm a big fan of foreign music . . . your dialect sounds very cool (coming from someone who speaks no German).
This is - in my opinion - best song they ever made. The video is not Patent Ochsner, just some random people who went to a music festival, but the song is fantastic. :)
that's Swiss hip-hop, in MY dialect. Erestor lingo, yo! :-D Black Tiger and MC Rony
Not to mention the well-known Swiss beaches... . I tend to prefer my hip-hop in other languages, however (that way, I don't know if it's horribly misogynistic and homophobic, though I presume that if these guys are friends, it's probably not). Of course, I wouldn't know the difference between Swiss German and German German.
Oh yes, this is definetely different from Deutchland-German... it fact it sounded very far from it! I must admit i had quite a few difficulties with getting many of the words, but I could make out many basic differences in the prononciation from the German-German I learned at school. Most notified was a broad ae (æ) sound where I suppose German-German has ä or e or eu?
The fact that I don't understand the Swiss accent while the people from Switzerland do understand me makes me feel very stupid and ignorant.
I hate my own accent. Did you by any chance see the German dub of "Casino Royale"? Because there's an Austrian playing the Casino's croupier in the original, and he's dubbing himself. Everyone in the cinema blushed and turned away whenever the croupier talked, thinking "OMG, that's what I talk like!".
mind you, I don't talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger! That guy can speak neither English nor German. xD
