There is indeed not much around I fear, the Swiss tend to be very secretive on such things, even school books are rarely online and one has to pay for :( > I know it's not officially a written language, but my girlfriend's > parents have a paper copy of a (probably outdated) Swiss German > dictionnary (I think it's even a "Bärndutsch" dictionnary). Outdated? I don't think so, the dialects tend to not evolve that much, even far less than the German language and certainly not at the same speed. > > Do any of you know of an electronic equivalent to this?

All I know is the "Chuchichäschtli-Orakel" that is useful if you want to know where people actually are from by the way they pronounce some key words. It is accurate up to 0 km, at least for me: http://dialects.from.ch/ > Similarly, do you know of any Swiss German kids eBooks, lessons etc.. in > a open format/free license? This is a question for Mario!
