You batter explain it, pal
idk about the england and dutch,
but the blue checkered flag is Bavaria.
Bavarians have a very awfull accent,
that is closer to austrian german than High German.
Is the difference between the kinds of German obvious in text too? Or is it more like comparing American English to UK English
All official texts use standard German, but the differences appear in day-to-day communication. People usually write in their dialect and since there is no orthographic standard, it looks quite bizzare. If you know a little bit of German, take a look at Tapakapa Erklärt. An Austrian guy speaking and subtitling in his (Vienna?) dialect.
The grammar and pretty much all of the spelling is the same, but there are some words that are different, and some idioms and similar
Looked him up
I don't know much German, but I definitely see what you mean.
