<br> --Michael Everson<br><br> =====<br> Viennese German is an East Middle Bavarian dialect, which has borrowed words from Czech, Italian, Latin, Hungarian, French, and Yiddish. It is a rich dialect, having an elevated style spoken at the Court of the Habsburgs and by the nobles (Schönbrunner Wienerisch) as well as an every-day style used by tradesmen and less savoury characters for thier tools and activities.<br>
<br> Hans Werner Sokop’s translation—the first ever in Viennese German—is part of a tradition of dialect writing which includes the famous poets Josef Weinheber and H. C. Artmann. Sokop has also translated Max und Moritz, The Struwwelpeter, and The Little Prince into Viennese German, as well as The Divine Comedy into Standard German.<br>
<br> I am delighted to add Hans Werner Sokop’s Viennese German translation to my Carrollian collection’s other German dialect translations, including Reinhard Hahn’s Low German, Jack Thiessen’s Mennonite Low German, and Franz Schlosser’s forthcoming Palatine German translation.<br>
