Show Notes

There's a way of speaking German that's existed for barely a few decades, but has caused quite the stir in the German public with debates over what it really should be considered. Linguistics has offered the answer: it's Kiezdeutsch, a fully systematic multiethnolect complete with grammatical rules and a unique lexicon. In this episode, join Aaron as he discusses how he learned about Kiezdeutsch, our understanding of right and wrong in terms of language, and why he thinks Kiezdeutsch is a particularly insightful topic that requires further investigation.
