Schwäbisch schwätza uff Youtube
I was raised bilingually. However, it wasn’t Danish and standard German I grew up speaking, as some people might think, it was Danish and Swabian (Schwäbisch).
These days even my dad hardly ever speaks Swabian any more, and Swabian speakers aren’t exactly ubiquitous in Scotland, so it often feels like I’m the only remaining speaker.
So imagine my joy when I realised that Youtube is positively full of Swabian videos, such as the following parodies!

Star Wars:
