Schwyzertütsch

With apologies in advance to any Swiss readers, The Big Finn--another local expat--has one of the best descriptions of Swiss German that I've seen (I should note that this isn't just my American monolingualism at work--even my German colleagues say they have a difficult time understanding the local dialect):

...the lady told me something that sounded like "flyypa vindeli googen hassen KKRRRKKKCHCCCHKKKKKKKK flieeeesssssst." It was your typical totally undecipherable Swiss-German dialect which I describe as sounding like a person speaking English backwards while scraping ice off of their windshield.
