Actually, it is our native language in

-Germany
-Austria
-parts of northern Italy
-parts of Switzerland
-parts of Luxemburg
-parts of Belgium
-parts of France
-the German minority in Denmark speaks German as well (go figure... )

so... why not use it?

Pssst... actually, it´s a conspiracy...

@ Mittelholzer: war nur Spaß, mein Opa ist aus Bern, und den hab´ ich auch verstanden...

Habe ich auch als Spass verstanden - finde ich witzig - ein "meerumschlungener" Viertelberner.

By the way - you forgot Namibia: Swakopmund and Lüderitzbucht are 80%
germanspeaking and i met many farmers throughout the country in 3rd or 4th generation still speaking German. I remember whan i came to Swakopmund and stopped at a petrol station. A tall black guy came and asked "Auftanken und Oel kontrollieren?".
