Talk:Viennese German

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article implies that normally in the Bavarian dialect the genitive case is used. In practice in Upper Bavaria this is not the case, and according to Polyglott's Bairisch Sprachfuehrer (ISBN 3-493-61198-6), "Der Genitiv wird gebildet aus dem Woertchen "von" und dem Dativ..." That translates to the genitive is built using the word "of" and the dative case. Covracer http://www.covracer.com 11:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phrase book

I just added Viennese for Americans - A Phrase Book (A humorous guide to speaking Viennese; no translations into High German) to the "external links" section. It's not of encyclopedic nature; however, I think it is useful enough for academics trying to learn Viennese. samwaltz 22:02, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
