I'm American

My ear has just gotten to the point of noticing German dialects, and spotting the quizzical looks of other German/Austrian/Swiss people in the group

Fascinating. I feel like they had 1,000 years to resolve this



1000? Prussia dissolved only in 1947 and the nation state of Germany was reunified only in 1990.

In any case, communication technology (trains, TVs) is a greater determinant of dialect than government.


suboptimal outcome for sure
