Finding Identity

Wikipedia is truly a surprise package. I've discovered that Wikipedia does also exist in an Alemannic version - that is, my mother tongue.



This excellent service brought also to light that I'm actually speaking High Alemannic. This is the version mostly spoken in Switzerland, Vorarlberg, and in the southern parts of the Black Forest in Germany). But there are further variants of this language:

• Highest Alemannic (e.g. Walser German in the Canton of Wallis or dialects of the Bernese Highlands (Berner Oberland) and of Fribourg).
• Low Alemannic dialects, among which are also:
  
• Alsatian (in Alsace, France)
  
• Alemán Coloneiro (in Venezuela - therefore not on the map)
• Swabian (mostly in Schwaben, in Germany)

All this has happened, because I try to find out the gestation length of cattle (it's 285 day, e.g. bit more than 9 months).
