rofl - this discussion is getting a bit ridiculous. Well, Rikky, back 1200 years ago neither *our* language nor *your* language was anything near what it is today.

So, let's not bring history into this, even a few hundred years ago the various languages were much different from what they are today.
Actually, I think we Germans can draw various African countries into this too... shall we call it a draw? (although I agree on the Swiss/Austrian part, you might lump Bavaria in there too )

EDIT: And before anybody starts arguing about accents, I'm from Göttingen, which - I do believe - belongs to that tiny, tiny part of Germany that speaks proper Hochdeutsch, not some dialect! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
kinda like ABN only german...
the fact you wanna call a draw means you would have lost
but hey I guess we all want peace so i accept [img]tongue.gif[/img]
[/QUOTE]True, true, whatever *shakes Rikard's hand* okay, now we have a truce, let's stop getting the thread off topic [img]smile.gif[/img]
