German Dialects presented via Real Audio - Mundart-Tonbeispiele

German Dialects presented via Real Audio takes you on an acoustical journey through German dialects. The text before the sound examples is just technical details about the conversions and compression applied. When you click on the names of the places you will hear a phrase meaning "You are not yet old enough to drink a bottle of wine on your own. You first have to grow and get older/taller." which is explained to be Standard Phrase #16 of dialoectologist Georg Wenker.
Funny name that. Reminds me of that car called pajero. Strange enough there is a Spanish version of that page even though they should know better. Maybe they mean it, after all it's a SUV.
