As a Bavarian I don't agree. It sounds similar to how people speak towards Cologne and Saarland. Austrian is very different in pronunciation and vocabulary.
It’s not at all. It has some vague overlaps with Upper German dialects such as Alemannic and Austro-Bavarian, but is definitely more similar to Ripuarian or Moselle Franconian than Bavarian. Luxembourgish is probably pretty close.
My whole neighborhood speaks Portuguese, German and Hunsrik when I lived there , tbh most people in Rio grande do sul who speak or are learning German are starting to switch or using mostly Hochdeutsch , but hunsrik has been declared the official heritage language of the state years ago , but German is actually starting to grow again after some decline although most of the rise is due to Hochdeutsch but hunsrik will be preserved I’m sure , depending on the school they either teach hunsrik or Hochdeutsch , the number of hunsrik is around 3 million with now another 1.5 million who can now speak Hochdeutsch, danke sheen for this video
It kind of sounds like Standard German with a little Yiddish and Dutch influence thrown into the mix. It's a shame we don't learn much about it and other minority languages at Brazilian schools. Our "minority culture" curriculum often comes down to "all Italian and German Brazilians are Fascists and always wrong about everything, and all Native Americans are environmentalists and always right about everything."
@@xSuperStarx They are! The Italian and German peoples also helped develop our land, they founded cities and they are our ancestors. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean indigenous languages have no role in your history, they have, but every national language should be treated equally.

@@Junglws Medhok is a Javanese word that describes a person who has very thick accent, or just an accent particular to an area. In this case, it's this particular characteristic in the "voiced" consonants of the Hunsrik language, similar to the ones in Javanese. So in these two languages, there aren't any voiced consonants as you know in English, for example. All consonants are unvoiced, but to make b, d, g and j sound different from p, t, k and c (as in check) Javanese and Hunsrik speakers add breathiness to the next vowel after the consonants. So for example in Javanese, _bathang_ (animal corpse) is pronounced /b̥äˈʈaŋ/ or /b̥ʰäˈʈaŋ/. These "voiced" consonants are called slack consonants, while the unvoiced ones are called stiff consonants. You can find it in "Javanese language" on Wikipedia > Phonology. Then listen to the audio. The exact same as in Hunsrik. And _Jerman_ is an Indonesian word meaning German, from English _German._
It is very interesting to know about this variant of German spoken here in the south of Brazil, but I confess that I feel embarrassed when Brazilians from the south of the country, with German ancestry, insist on saying that they are Germans living in Brazil or that they live in European cities in Brazil. Recognizing, preserving origins and being interested in these origins is one thing, now denying your own nationality to praise your ancestry, as many descendants of Germans or Italians living in Brazil do, is really embarrassing.

This isn’t real German, it is basically a creole sort of like how Afrikaans is a broken creole derived from Dutch.

How many Brazilians actually speak actual German? I’m guessing close to zero.

If you want to know traditional modern German, there are 200k speakers. In Brazil, the majority of people who lack German in Brazil speak German with a Portuguese influence Or Pomeranian that is instinct in Germany itself
@@Kelsin5190 Pomeranian was never even spoken in the borders of modern Germany. It was spoken in East Prussia, which is now part of Poland and the Kaliningrad Oblast in Russia since WWII. I think it is extinct now or almost extinct. Even then, Pomeranian iirc is a dialect of Low German. It’s not really German either (meaning High German). That’s another thing.
