My still-husband's from the Westerwald - the area around Koblenz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koblenz). It's taken me *years* to get to the point where I can *understand* most of what they're saying. Don't even *think* about trying to speak it.
Here we have several Bavarian dialects because I'm living in what's considered to be Swabia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swabia). The closer you get to the Alps, the worse it gets.
