When you listen closely to low German and Frisian you can clearly here where the English accents come from. It’s all so interesting.

[@robmoss8198]

Same. I could hear the beginnings of North East England dialects.

[@JohnMartin-jx1wz]

We have west frisian in scots

[@philomelodia]

@@JohnMartin-jx1wz OK. The dialect here is upper Saxon. It is not the same as Lower Saxon (Niedersägsisch)which is the form of low German (Plattdeutsch)descended from the language of the Saxons who stayed behind in northern Germany and southern Denmark and did not cross the North Sea to Britain with Angles friesians and Jutes It is a very different language and in a very different region than what you are hearing in this video. So, these parallels that you are hearing are just regular German parallels. They don’t really indicate any close connection with English or English’s forebears.

I swear to god I heard the English accent in there in a weird way! So it wasn’t just me!

I lived in Dresden when I was younger and learned Hochdeutsch from my teachers, but my friends taught me Sächsisch! So once I came back to the States and went to college to start my German degree, I noticed how different I sounded from my professor from Bayern. I’ll always have my Sächsisch accent/dialect!

[@EasyGerman]

That is amazing 😃

[@notdaveschannel9843]

@Kaitlyn Kessler I once worked with a French guy who'd learnt English in Glasgow. It had to be heard to be believed.

[@florianmeier3186]

Bavaria is big. In some small part around "Ludscht" (Ludwigstadt), Bavarians speak a Saxonian dialect. This is because lots of miners and diggers from Saxonia came in that area. It is also the only Bavarian community north of the so called "Rennsteig", which devides the creeks to Elbe from that running to Main, but also the sound of Franconia from Thuringa, where the latter is closer to Saxonian dialect. On the other hand there are some villages in Thuringa and Saxonia, where people speak a Franconian dialect.

[@cigh7445]

@@sophiacarney7258 Dublin accent is more like older Middle English than Gaelic accent wise, if you look up recreations. It's very 'Germanic', which is why this observation is so great.
(for more Gaelic accent look up the traditional/strong Kerry, Cork and Mayo accents)

"Halt do mal die Gusche" sounds similar to my local dialect (Geordie spoken in Newcastle, England). We say "had ye gob" (basically, hold your mouth/shut up).
We have some Frisian and old norse vocabulary :)

[@deanevo800]

Is like 'houdt je kop' in dutch. Different writing but similar pronounciation.

[@Likes_Trains]

@@deanevo800 gotta say I prefer the sound of hou je bek more, it feels like it's phonetically intimidating. Like it rolls of the tongue so nicely but sounds demanding in any tone :D

[@garyeckhardt8893]

Wow! That was very interesting. I didn't realize that Saxony had a different dialect. When I visited Dresden a couple of years ago I didn't experience that but that's probably because the people I spoke with could tell I was a foreigner.

[@TheMichaelK]

Like the French have their name from the Franks, even though they don’t speak Frankish, the Saxon German dialect (linguistically called Upper Saxon) has no connection to the Old Saxon language that was closely related to Old English (aka Anglo-Saxon).
Low Saxon (also called Low German) is the predecessor of the Old Saxon language.
So, the Low Saxon language and the Upper Saxon dialect of the German language are actually not as close to each other at all as their names would imply.
