Gini sings in english, but it looks like she's also Styrian: https://ginimusic.at/presse/

Did you get to/understand the bra story from the Radio Melody interview?

(AML was sticking to high german for the interview; for a better example of his dialect listen to the intro to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSwQ1icECNg , handily subtitled in what we call "writing german")

[I can't tell but suspect the tractor there, despite being in Deere livery, is a Steyr as well]

Incidentally, Radio Melody also interviewed Gölä*, which gives me an excuse to point you at the yodel-crossover version of "Indian": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLTLlGCknUw

Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltXpMuH8SI4

* this is the local word for, not shit in general, but specifically the slurry with which fields are fertilised. Durrenmatt also uses it in "The Visit" (1956), but names his town Güllen — dialect being oral and not written, orthography often has a few local conventions but otherwise, as english orthography once was, is up to personal taste.

    Wow, what does the Missus think? If i cant tell a thick styrian accent from a lowland accent (of the interviewer?) i should leave the understanding of cultures via natural language to more competent folks :)

    (To my nondefence, dialect means accent in England, e,g, one would say that the young E2R spoke a Saxon dialect)

    Anyways, to try & adhere to a proper division of labor (mine lot is to safely dispose of spilled ink) herewith is summarized my latest attempt at designori integration (more to unpack moving forwards)

    How to effectively fund research from the bottom-up? To improve on VDH, in the horizonal Union, your research pays the hoi polloi to be entertained! It is said Mondragonese labor hires capital, can we refine (i,e, “sophisticate the sophistry”) this! Proles hire technicians who hire fonders who hire growth engineers who hire capital! Keep candidates few & condorcet becomes ideal!

    (Romer & Veblen have a common thread that human capital have a tendency to be destroyed in the OC.. perhaps you’d like to reply to the hot thread on ShowRunning, while i further refine my understanding of designori in the HolyWoods)

    Edit: it is my understanding that present day academia favors destruction of human capital.

      I'll ask her this evening, but can confidently predict now she'll wonder why I don't spot the austrian right off the bat (a local pastime, after having passed another group on the trail and greeted, is to spend the next 5-10 minutes discussing where they were probably from on the basis of these few words).

      It's my understanding that the old E2R had shifted from cut glass RP towards a more generic BBC (although not lerped all the way to Jafaican, or even MLE)?

      German dialect variance is probably closer to standard english vs irish english (in which "a ride" may be an action but may also refer to animate objects, specifically an attractive person, and furthermore even borrows some grammatical constructions from the gaelic)? Compare the range between SAE vs AAVE.

      EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J9dRmnlWJY is an example of the same interviewer employing a broader (too far east for my ear to place) dialect; presumably in the AML interview he had also been accommodating by hewing closer to swiss standard german.

      EDIT2: and for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogpYWKpYVaw&t=40s (with an eastern german singer) he starts in dialect for the introduction to his audience, but then immediately switches to a very standard german for the interview qs posed to her.
