AMD 3 - Joe Schafer

For this AMD I read the article on how to speak the language of Vienna. I appreciated the help in prounouncing their words correctly. The article first gave an example in "American" english, followed by Weanarisch, and then how an American should pronounce the Weanarisch words. The following examples are a couple of my favorites:

Shut that Brat up! I'm trying to enjoy the scenery!
Kaun des Gfrast ned de Bapm hoidn? I mechat gern de Umgebung in Ruhe geniessn!
Con dess gufrost ne dee Boppim hoidin? Eee meckud gairn dee oom-gay-boong guh-neessen!

Who asked you anyway?
Und uebahaupst, wea hot denn di eigendlich gfrogt?
Oond ooba-howbst, vair hodd den dee eye-gunt-leek g-frogt?

Why don't you just speakAmerican like everybody else?
Wieso kinnt's ia Deppn net wia jeda nuamle mensch a emericen redn?
Veeso kinnts ee-a Deppin net vee-a yay-da nwomla mensh au American rayden?

We've been in Austria for two days and we still haven't seen a kangaroo.
Jietzad samma schau zwa Tog in Estarreich nd Kenguru hauma no imma ka aanzigs gseng.
Yet-sid zomma show tsvah toag een Easter egg oond Kangaroo homma no imma caw on-sigs guhsayng.

Which way to the nearest gun store?
Wo is denn da nexta Woffnhendla?
Vo iss den duh nexta Vo-fun-hendla?

What do you mean you don't have apple pie?
Gens sogns ned, Sie haum kan Epl Pei?
Gayns, zogns ned, zee homm con eppul pie?

If I ever travel to Austria I'll be sure to revisit this site for more sayings.
