mk> Every region has it own slang, every village speaks a different slang.
 mk> Here in my village called Erle we speak a slang called "Erler
Sandplatt".
 mk> In the neighbour-village Raesfeld, 2km in the north, they speak a
 mk> different slang.

I found Erle on the map. About 30 km north of Essen/Duisburg.
Is it hard for you to understand the Raesfeld slang?
Is it really slang you speek? Here we don't speek slang but we have very
many dialects and mostly one can determine on the dialect where the person
comes from.
