In north germany you have two different german languages
~
~
Plattdeutsch (lit. trans. flat german) sounds ugly and is mostly used by elders or villager
Hochdeutsch (lit. trans. high german) is actually the regular german but for some reason it's called differently
different federal states use different dialects, except for bavaria, they use a whole different language and pretend it's german..
