Alex,
These are good news for me. So Hochdeutsch is making
his way out...that makes me happy.
And thanks for the info.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen,
Klaus.

it seems you are not very up to date with the infos.
For instance in
my family here in Germany, just my father-in-law
speaks with its
older neighbours Platt. My wife, my brother-in-law,
cousens, the
younger neighbours, they understand a bit Platt (maybe
a bit more as
I do) but they are not able to speak anymore Platt.
One can just
insert there and here some words into the Hochdeutsch
sentences, but
it seems the dialect itself has year by year less
speakers.
