I know Dutch and am intermediate level in German - they are both gorgeous languages, and are very easy to recognize, just like English, but Dutch is way softer than Belgium Dutch and German because the Rs are softer in Dutch, while the Rs in Belgian Dutch are too hard / rolled, so it sounds harsher like Spanish, so all speakers should use very soft Rs only in all languages, because hard Rs don’t sound good!

At least it's starting to catch up with my Spanish comprehension, catch a few words and figure out the context. Dilara started with "Ich heisse...", but she used the hard "ch" sound, maybe to throw Sophia off, make her think she was Dutch, or can they say it that way in Switzerland too?

and French has a lot of Germanic influences (to be more exact: Frankish dialect influences) which is btw the main reason why it sounds 'gentle/sexy' and different to most other Romanic languages. The name France and French itself also comes from the Germanic tribe confederation 'die Franken' (the Franks). Apropos: there was also never a guy with the name Charlemagne (many historians from England/US use wrongly the later frenched version of it - but thats just misleading).

She talks really slowly imho, but I couldn’t hear any other accent

[@the.ghost.in.the.library]

About 60% of Belgians have Dutch as a native language, 40% French and less than 1% German

@@the.ghost.in.the.library Yes, I'm just listing the official languages there, not implying that German is widely spoken

@@marchforjune of course, I just thought that for the original commenter listing the percentages might gives a clearer idea of how the language situation in Belgium actually is

No 1 and no 3 were actually speaking the exact same language. Now tell me German isnt fucked up

[@hightidemidafternoon]

There a countless dialects (and a number of protected languages) in the german speaking regions. I am from the northernmost state bordering Denmark and number one had such a distinct accent to my ears. That's why I always refer to Germany as the United States of Germany. Driving into a different region feels like crossing the border into another country. The architecture, the food culture, the landscape... all is changing within a couple of hours.

[@hakanstorsater5090]

@@hightidemidafternoon I guess the difference between Standard German and Swiss could be compared to Standard British English and thick rural Scots or something. Then Switzerland would have a large dialectal variety with most of the dialects rarely being written down other than in jest with a nonstandardized orthography, anyway...

[@hyenalaughingmatter8103]

Put a Swabian there who lives close to the Swiss border, you would be surprised how similar is it. 😂

[@jasperkok8745]

Many migrant workers from Turkey and Morocco came to this part of Europe during the 1960s, and obviously they have kids. I’ve never been to the US, but that country is absolutely not the only melting pot in the world.

[@erinknightingale251]

turkish will go back to turkey when germans go back to germany from agerntina 😅

[@iosashes2087]

Tell you what. If you love genetic Germans so bad then you send all your citizens of Turkish origin to the US and we’ll give you your 50 million+ German diaspora here back since you don’t like immigration.

[@andyx6827]

The German girl isn't Turkish. No Turkish immigrants have ever called their daughter Zoë 😂 Lots of German girls have dark hair. Snow White is literally a German story. This phenotype is documented in Germany since hundreds of years.

She is not Turkish. She is German watch the name and watch the accent. Turks in Germans speak different no matter born here or not.
