Wider den Nationaldialekt (Against the "National Dialect")

Haas, Walter

Zeitschrift fur Dialektologie und Linguistik, 45, 1, 62-7, 78

German-speaking Switzerland has no single national dialect, artificial or otherwise--only many local dialects. Only standard German is written (and read); the various Schweizerdeutsch dialects are spoken. Even on radio and television the dialects are sometimes used, especially those of the larger speech communities. (Text is in German.) (WGA)
