I am going to either Germany or Austria to study German. I have been told there are differences in the German spoken in different regions, and would like to know what these were before choosing the location.

I mostly want to learn German to be able to read academic texts, would this change depending on the region?

  • Note that the term High German is ambiguous. It can refer to the Souther German dialect group or to the prestige dialect of German. Please [edit] your question to clarify which one you are asking about. Moreover, you may want to specify what kind of academic texts you want to read. – Wrzlprmft Apr 08 '18 at 09:22

    This question is mostly about the language itself, not about the process of language acquisition. You may ask it on [german.se], but keep in mind that it should be reworded to be more specific. – Be Brave Be Like Ukraine Apr 08 '18 at 13:40
