That is awesome Einstein, but do you really think you've changed any of the moronic minds on this forum? Doubtful, verrrry doubtful. I admire your effort though.
Haha...that's funny. It says Austrian dialect to Standard German on the title and in the page's content.
Try again.
Why is there a need for translator? That page says "Austrian" several times. What if I said a term in Austrian... would that imply German? Probably in your little world.

Thanks!
I tend to subscribe to "don't feed the trolls", but choose to ignore it when I have some free time on hand (and the conversation gets far enough).
"1 a: a regional variety of language distinguished by features of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation from other regional varieties and constituting together with them a single language"
It is still a derivative of German - there is no such thing as an Austrian language.
This is wrong,sorry.Thats like saying Portuguese or Italian are derivatives of the Spanish language because when you break down all 3 there are extreme similiarities.
I've never heard that, and I know a ton of mexicans. seriously, who would say that? that is amost as retarded as referring to a jamacan as an african american.
"retarded" usually refers to people who have mental deficiencies. It's a condition defined by doctors who are, by their education, qualified to use that term. Otherwise it's just an insult and being insensitive to the conditions that afflict others.
Your great grandmother might have also referred to Austria as the Hapsburg Empire or the Austro-Hungarian empire, but that isn't applicable nowadays, is it?
Most of my family came from an area known as Galicia. Galicia encompassed parts of Austria,Poland,and modern day Ukraine.Considering the changing of borders because of wars over the years; an area like Poland whose people mostly speak Polish now might live in modern day Ukraine because their eastern border became part of another country. People in Ukraine mostly speak Russian.Now if you speak both languages alot of times a slang occurs. Now i've heard straight German over the years and when my family from Austria speaks it's a different dialect altogether but quite similiar.
So maybe Barack made a mistake or maybe his point of view is different.
Just another show of his ignorance. He shows it each and every day.
