7 Austrian Accents - 1 Sentence

7 Austrian Accents - 1 Sentence
#austria #learngerman #accent

Welcome to the Austrian German Tutorial. In this Tutorial I'd like to present seven Austrian Accents. Of course, there are many more accents and dialects in Austria. They might change from valley to valley or even from village to village. This should just be a quick overview and insight into some accents, so here we go...

The learning goal of this video is to get to know seven common Austrian Accents with the help of just one sentence. I chose the sentence "Yes, that's clear, isn't it?" which is "Das ist klar, oder?" in Standard German.
Let's start with Upper Austria, Oberösterreich.

My godfather speak a slightly different version of tirolese accent. His father was born near Innsbruck and his mom was half sudetenlander, half moravian and spoke both austrian and sudetenlander german.

I think "goi" or "göi" would have been a better fit for Upper Austria when it comes to the word "oder". Similarly also the other dialects, e.g. "gell" or "gall" for Carinthia. I think "oder" sounds a little bit artificial, with the exceptions of Vorarlberg and Tyrol (and maybe Vienna depending on the age of the speaker).

If you don't use dictionaries for translation, but actual native speakers, you should try to not give them a German sentence to translate, as thereby their brain automatically blends out many native words in favour of German ones. E.g. if you ask someone in Eastern Austrian what "Straßenbahn" is in their dialect, they would probably answer you "Stråßnbaun", even though "Bim" is more common. Instead show them a picture, or an English sentence, maybe even a gap text. This reduces the influence of the question itself.

It's interesting how the western austrian accents get closer to the swiss accents the more western they are.

Am vorarlberischen musst noch etwas üben. Da gibt es kein „is“ sondern nur „isch“ oder „ischt“! 😉

Also...Kärnten hat überhaupt gar nicht gepasst. Aber goa nit! Das Problem bei die restlichen Österreicher ist (ausgenommen Stmk), dass die das å oft gar nicht so betonen können, wie es im Kärntnerischen nötig ist.
