As I lived in Zurich long enough, that I may beg to differ. It's an insult
to compare Cz. Deitsch to any other German language and certainly not to
Swiss German which sounds like a broken machine with its "Kuche Chaestli =
Kuechen Schrank = Kitchen cupboard. We did speak comprehensible German!!
We, admittedly spoke, as I mentioned before a very special lingo, unique,
just as we, what's left of the old guard, are unique - you show me another
group of people who keep their past, their memories alive by just sharing
and corresponding, never having seen each other (like I) still find a
common interest and even get younger people to join us and not let it die
out with us!!!. anny
