Family These German dialects sound the friendliest Julia Bach • 20 hours • 2 minutes reading time According to a study by the language learning platform Babbel in cooperation with the opinion research institute YouGov, 59.7% of Germans over the age of 18 speak a dialect. In Generation Z alone, however, this proportion is only around 5%. That's a shame, because some dialects are perceived as particularly pleasant by Germans. Here is the ranking from the survey. So, how does your region fare? The study is based on a Germany-wide online survey with over 1,000 participants. These come from a representative sample of all those who have learned a dialect at some point in their lives. Whether this dialect is still spoken today was irrelevant for the survey. Ranking of German dialects according to sympathy Of course, every person perceives languages ​​and dialects differently, so such a ranking is very subjective. It can only reflect the opinion of a majority and is therefore not universally valid. All dialects are great, none is better or worse than others. And these are the results: Which languages ​​are easy to learn? ・1. Rhenish ・2. Bavarian ・3. Palatinate ・4. Swabian ・5. Hessian ・6. Low German ・7. Franconian ・8. Berlin ・9. Brandenburg ・10. Alemannic ・11. (East) Westphalian ・12. Thuringian ・13. Saxon
