No wonder those Berliners dont understand Austrian or Swiss German. Few people understand their Volapük either :) Most of my friends are not from Berlin. They are from NRW......Essen and Düsseldorf. Around the corner Bavaria/Austria/Switzerland, the dialect is all very related. Moving away from there some of the local dialects like Bavarian or Schwitzerdütch all get a little bit special. Around Stuttgart they speak Schwäbisch, my former secretary 30 years ago - she came from Franken (Northern Bavaria) didn't understand hoot of that. Most Germans look down their noses at the Bavarians......they see them as greedy upstarts. I never had a problem with any of those local tongues, though. But did they have a problem with you? ;-)
