This is the spectrum of dialects you hear when you walk 10km across every european country lol

I am a non native english speaker but could understand every accent you posted easily, meanwhile most native germans dont understand Platt-german, deep-Bavarian or Swiss-german like at all. You pick up a word or four per sentence but thats about it.

We also don't want to understand the dialects mentioned. Dutchmen can go to Holland and the rest learn German you Schluchtenscheißer.

I know this is mostly a joke but it's also exactly why that shit happens in the first place. Shibboleths to signal group identity.
