The region is already seen, the dialects are sometimes very different. There are of course people who are moved and then more or less administer the new dialect in the home.

In the past, when you lived in the same place for a lifetime, you have sometimes recognized regionally in the dialect whether someone comes from the neighboring place.

In the French-speaking area there are also differences that I recognize immediately. I recognize a lawn, a Geneva or someone from the canton of Neuchâtel right away.

Yes, sometimes not always the easiest thing is of course if she speaks person with strong dialect e.g. baslerdialect or so I find it easy to recognize now

Not all. I can now (usually) listen to the following Swiss dialects:

  • Basel
  • Wallis
  • Bern
  • Graubünden

Partly because I know some expressions, partly because I have to think of certain people where I know their origin.

But I’m not a native Swiss.

I feel that way too, and Thurgau and Appenzell can also be seen often.

Ahaja, I hear the appealers out. For Thurgau, I’m too close to see that again. Like St. Gallen.

But the St. Galler I recognize at the latest when I want to be a must for a bratwurst 🤪

Sometimes even from what part of the canton. Do not recognize all dialects, and the transition is sometimes flowing

Yes, in some cases one can even determine this more precisely (from which part of the canton).

Not always, but sometimes on individual words.

Sometimes, it depends on what a Swiss German.
