Do you speak high German? Low German?"

What German I know is Hoch Deutsch. There are very few Platt Deutsch speakers left in Germany.


What you call Platt Deutsch I think is what's considered low German. In Switzerland, they speak low German everywhere except when doing business, then they speak high German. According to my tutor, low German uses archaic German words and strangely enough, seems closer to English than high German.
