Don't mention the war.

Britain, North Germany, Holland and Flanders should have merged into a single state centuries ago. We have a common language, common religion, common culture and would have been a dominant global force and avoided two world wars.
Shame.

FTFY
It's the dialect many mix up with Swabian, but as Baden-Württemberg is a mix of 2 different provinces, the Badisch part (i don't know if there is a english word for that) and the swabian part (Württemberg). And both dialects are completely different for those who speak it. But i see this is to deep into German neighbour rivalries.

Mostly it's the Eastern German people (escpecially from Saxonia) that get the subtitles.

"We" in the Netherlands don't even have a common religion or culture, and this place is tiny.
There's The West (includes the middle), which is generally civilized. The East, which is mostly empty except for some pseudo-Germans. The South which is somehow Catholic unlike the rest of the country - they refuse to pronounce their G's correctly, and they vote for Wilders. The North, divided between separatists (with their own language and culture, stuck a century in the past) and communists (but most of them are students).

Old but quite good.
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby
English will be the official language of the EU rather than German
which was the other possibility.
 As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5
year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will
make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in
favour of the"k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan
have 1 less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like
"fotograf" 20 persent shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are
possible.
Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the
language is disgraseful, and they should go away.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing
"th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer
kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be
no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand
ech ozer.
Ze drem vil finali kum tru!
And zen ve vil tak over ze world!
