German dialects – Mecklenburgisch

German dialects - Mecklenburgisch

 

In this third part of my German dialect series we look at one of the Eastern states in Germany. You may have thought that low German was only spoken in the northwest of Germany, but Niederdeutsch is spoken across the North from the West to to East, with lots of variations in between.

So today we look at Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the 6th largest state by area and has some beautiful places to go to for holidays. Just have a  read and look on Wikipedia!

I found some videos which, sadly, had been taken down. So instead here are two videos in German, but about the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern dialect and with some of it for you to hear.

 

Did you understand everything? Anything?

“Dat duurt aal’n büschen länger, ne.”

It takes time, doesn’t it?

 

As a reminder, here are part 1 and 2 again:

German dialects – Hamburgerisch and Ostfriesisch

German dialects – das Grafschafter Platt
