We write our language (swiss-german) like this 😂 everything is allowed and there are strangely very little misunderstandings. Only bad thing about is, that swiping keyboard rarely work with it.

And us german-germans think you are very weird and you might as well call your spoken language something other than german, cause no one can understand it anyways. Also why are you so afraid of this: ß?

It's too sharp they don't wanna get cut

🤷🏻‍♀️this Sign is not on the keyboards in our country

And most people from Austria have no problem understanding us 😉

I do with English would switch to phonetic spelling, including the eventi of the speaker, but we're never going to switch. At least the standardized spelling does have a very minor advantage in terms of disambiguation with homophones. But then we had to go and mess up read/read and lead/lead.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Read/ret lead/let -> easy 😜 but how to write "do" I mean it is not a normal spoken "o" and not exactly a "u" like it is a "u" but without (yo)u Write phonetic is more easy in German, I think, or maybe only because it is my birth language 🤔

I think you might speak English with a thick German accent based on your perceptions of how you’d spell our words

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Fair 😆and expectable, since I normally write phonetic in the german way

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah I was really confused until I thought about how my Großonkel would say it lol. But yeah, in my accent both those words voice the d at the end

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

So it woud be „red“ and „led“?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

At least in a yank accent
