Guten Tag!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>or as you would say in \u00a0Swabian: Gr\u00fcss Gott!<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the next few Wochen<\/em><\/strong>, we’ll\u00a0explore some of the major German dialects. Today, I’ll introduce you to some expressions in the\u00a0Schw\u00e4bisch Alltag<\/span>\u00a0(everyday\/daily life), Swabian\u00a0dialect. The\u00a0Schw\u00e4bische Mundart<\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u00a0is considered an Alamannic\u00a0Upper German\u00a0dialect. N\u00e4chste Woche<\/em><\/strong>, I’ll compare it to another dialect, and so on… this will show you the similarities and differences between all the diverse dialects. F\u00fcr mich ist das sehr interessant <\/em><\/strong>because <\/em><\/strong>as an Alsatian dialect <\/em><\/strong>speaker, I notice many\u00a0commonalities zwischen diesen beiden Dialekten —<\/em><\/strong> I’ll write about them when I introduce you to my dialect; a Germanic dialect with a long history.<\/p>\n

Below, you will see some examples that will show you the differences between German and Swabian:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Swabia\/an is known both as a dialect<\/span>, and as a historic region<\/span> in Southwestern Germany. This region – once a medieval duchy – encompassed the Southern part of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, the Southwestern part of Bavaria, Eastern Switzerland, and the Alsace region; now a part of France.<\/p>\n

To the Romans this region was known as Alamannia. It was\u00a0named after its first settlers, a Germanic tribe called the Alamanni. In 5 AD, the Suevi — Germanic migrants originating from the Baltic Sea area — migrated to the region and joined the Alamanni people. Eventually, the Alamannia region became the Swabia region; named after the Suevi tribe. Suevi may also be called Suebi.<\/p>\n

Today, the name Swabia is occasionally used to denote the district formerly occupied by the Duchy, but the official use of the name is now confined to a province in Bavaria.<\/p>\n
