For the first time ever, uTalk includes two different dialects of the same language that you can learn in one go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Alsatian language, which has just been launched on uTalk<\/a>, includes recordings of a male speaker voicing the Bas-Rhin dialect (spoken in northern Alsace) and a female speaker voicing the Haut-Rhin dialect (spoken in southern Alsace).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did this because Alsatian has many different dialects and the linguists we were working with were keen for us to represent the breadth of their language. So, as a big supporter of minority languages, we did our best to oblige!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, first things first, let\u2019s start off by learning a little more about the Alsatian language. Spoken by an estimated 600,000 people, Alsatian is a Germanic language closely related to German<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are many variations of the language, also known as alsacien or Alsatian German Dialect, but generally these are considered to be mutually intelligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll notice that the main differences between the two Alsatian variances we recorded are in their pronunciation, which you can hear by cycling between the speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the vocabulary is different too, but our native speakers\u2014Virginie Fichter and Julien Riehl, who work together at the Collectivit\u00e9 europ\u00e9enne d’Alsace (CeA)\u2013worked hard to keep these to a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make things even easier for you, we\u2019ve also put together a list (below) of all the differences in written vocab that you might notice as you learn Alsatian with the uTalk app. The words are organised by topic, so you can easily check what you need to know ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Note: you may notice some duplicates, but that\u2019s because some words and phrases appear in more than one topic!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are these differences shown on the uTalk app?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you go to the Phrase Practice section of any of these topics on the uTalk app, you\u2019ll see the differences very easily under the image of the word or phrase you\u2019re learning. The Bas-Rhin variant is on the top line, and the Haut-Rhin variant is beneath it, above the word in the language you\u2019re learning from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The only other places you see text in the language you’re learning are the Easy Game and the Recall Game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Easy Game, you only hear one of the voices reading the Alsatian words for each round. However, when it comes to the word you need to select, you’ll see both variants written at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the Recall Game, you see the words in the language you\u2019re learning first. When you check your pronunciation against our speakers\u2019, you\u2019ll see both variants written down, and can press the play button on the right to cycle through the recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, learning Alsatian should be just as straightforward as learning any other language on the uTalk app! Take a look at the words and phrases, play the games, and you\u2019ll be speaking like a local in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you enjoy learning our latest language and support the inclusion of the two different dialects of Alsatian on our app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time ever, uTalk includes two different dialects of the same language that you can learn in one go. The Alsatian language, which has just been launched on uTalk, includes recordings of a male speaker voicing the Bas-Rhin dialect (spoken in northern Alsace) and a female speaker voicing the Haut-Rhin dialect (spoken in … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9638,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[150],"tags":[318],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9636"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9636"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9636\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9644,"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9636\/revisions\/9644"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
