Most people ignore this little fact, but there isn\u2019t just one German language.<\/p>\n

Like all languages around the world, German has a number of dialects and varieties, some with surprisingly few speakers!
\nAnd yet, most learning materials totally ignore any variation beyond the Standard German or Hochdeutsch taught in schools and spoken on TV.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to reverse that trend….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

High, Low, North, South?<\/h2>\n

First things first, \u201chigh\u201d here does not mean \u201cnorth.\u201d It means \u201cup.\u201d High German is so-called because it comes from the highlands, and Low German therefore comes from the low-lying northwestern regions of Germany. You\u2019ll often see it referred to as Platt, which sounds an awful lot like \u201cflat\u201d in English.<\/p>\n

\"German
\nPlatt is very much related to Dutch, and indeed a Low German speaker and a Dutch speaker would find it very easy to understand one another after a little practice.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no \u201cstandard\u201d for Low German, but there are a couple of usually agreed-upon spelling conventions when writing it online. Here, we\u2019ll use the \u201cGerman-based spelling\u201d from Lowlands, a magnificent grammar resource.<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

Is the Grammar Different?<\/h2>\n

Dutch is sometimes said to be easier than German, and this is largely because the complex system of articles and genders (der, die, das, dem, den) is much, much simpler.<\/p>\n

In Low German, masculine and feminine nouns take the article de, and neuter nouns take dat. The indefinite article is also quite simple, becoming een for all three genders and shortening to \u2018n in spoken Low German.<\/p>\n

Verbs in aren\u2019t that far off from what you may know in High German. The -t ending covers the third person, and in some dialects it covers every ending except the first and second.<\/p>\n

So you\u2019d have ik lehr (I teach), du lehrst, (you teach), he lehrt, sie lehrt, wi lehrt, ji lehrt (he, she, we, you all teach).
\nThere\u2019s also only two cases! Nominative and objective, a combination of the dative and the accusative found in Standard German.<\/p>\n

The only objective article you have to worry about is the one for masculine nouns, which turns into den in Low German just like it does in Standard German.<\/p>\n

Be careful, though, not to pronounce it the same.<\/p>\n

Low German Pronunciation<\/h2>\n

Though the orthography may bring to mind a mixture of German, Dutch, and English, the pronunciation of Low German is quite different from all three.<\/p>\n

High German underwent a serious consonant shift in the Middle Ages, but Low German and English didn\u2019t. Check out these words:<\/p>\n

twee<\/strong>
\nsess<\/strong>
\ntein<\/strong>
\ntwintig<\/strong><\/p>\n

If these bring to mind numbers, that\u2019s great! It\u2019s two, six, ten, and twenty in Low German. In High German, that\u2019d be:<\/p>\n

zwei<\/strong>
\nsechs<\/strong>
\nzehn<\/strong>
\nzwanzig<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you can see, the \/ts\/ sound and the \/chs\/ sound are both present in High German but not Low German — or English!<\/p>\n

Should You Learn Low German?<\/h2>\n

One thing we haven\u2019t mentioned yet is that many Mennonites living in Canada and the United States still speak Low German, calling it Plautdietsch. This is another dialect again from the ones spoken in Europe, but it\u2019s still certainly the same language.<\/p>\n

\"Mennonite
\nIf you live near a Mennonite community in North America, you can try out some Platt on them at bakeries, delis, or church events. There may even be a school that gives lessons!<\/p>\n

And if you travel around the right part of northern Germany, you can certainly hear Platt on the streets. However, getting people to speak it to you could be a challenge.<\/p>\n

With most dialects of major languages around the world, a foreigner learning them might be seen as odd or even making fun of the locals. The best way to show your respect is to truly put a lot of effort into your grammar, pronunciation, and usage so that people know how far you\u2019re willing to go.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t speak broken Low German – speak it well, using online audio resources first and foremost. Some of them are even in High German, giving you a way to practice both languages at the same time!<\/p>\n
