Basel Dialect Verbs: How to crack the dialect code

By Margaret Oertig

Bini, hani, gangi? If you are learning High German, you may be puzzled by the dialect words you hear as local people talk to each other in Swiss German. Basel Dialect Verbs is written for incomers to the Basel region who want to understand the local dialect being spoken around them. It presents the most common verbs clearly and simply in tables and translates them into English and High German. Workout exercises and online audio are provided to practise using the verbs in simple sentences. The spelling is based on a survey of typical spelling used by around 80 people from Basel in their online communication.
