zyratoxx, 29 days ago (edited 29 days ago) Yes, German dialects can vary greatly for example here’s the same sentence “I have an apple.” in different German dialects: Standard German: “Ich habe einen Apfel.” Northern German / Platt: “Ik hab en Appel.” Middle German / Saxonian: " 'sch’habm Abbl." ( 'sch is pronounced like sh) Southern German / Bavarian & Austrian: “I hob an Opfü.” (I is pronounced like the single letter E) The Southern Germans are the ones with the Schwarzenegger accent.
