Grüezi, moin, servus!

So colorful can linguistic diversity be: a delightful excursion into the vast realm of regional vocabularies. Anyone who tries to order rolls at a bakery in Munich, Berlin, or Zurich knows that language is not always a unifying element. In the worst case, you might leave empty-handed. Each region in the German-speaking world has its own way of naming things. Where do they call fried meatballs – pardon: minced meat – Frikadelle, where Fleischlaiberl, and where Hacktätschli? Answers to these questions, as well as why one person speaks differently than another, can be found in this book: humorously explained and illustrated with beautiful maps.
