Nope, you're wrong here. In Germany they're not called leprechauns but Kobolde (plural). I translated that into spanish and apparently the word is either "el trasgo" or "el duende".

i'm gonna make myself very unpopular with all the germans on the forum now, but whatever:
i see why you'd think that kobolde sounds unny. especially if you've been tought "german" german. it's a very strong and agressive dialect.
you should try and get yoursefl surrounded a lil by "austrian" german sperking people(like myself). you will notice that our language is much softer and nicer to speak or listen to.
told ya.
germans, bring it on

I ROFLed!
Aaaaaactually, what Mark means by "nicer" is simply "weirder"!
Have to correct a few things though:
1. "Austrian" is a german dialect and therefore you cant just distinguish between "austrian" and "german" german. Thus you can't simply say: german is hard, austrian soft.
2. Just like with the southern states of the US, the people in the south (in this case Austria ) draw their words a little longer. Any American would probably gladly agree that that doesn't automatically mean their dialect is "nicer"!

OMG. i must have misunderstood something. sounded to me like you were trying to say that Aurtia and Germany are one country. Fortunately that's not te case it will never be. as for the languege: if we go back a couple of decades, there was no country that was called germany. there were some regions that spoker german. (like the Austrian-hungerian monarcy, or Prussia). then some regions melted together, and named their territory after the language they spoke->german(y). just because you named your caountry after the language some reions spoke doesn't mean your language is the original one or something like this. austrian is not a dialekt. actually there is no such thing as austrian. we speak german, and since our two countries share a similar history, you speak gherman as well. it's just two different types of german. the only thing we can both agree on is tha the "austrian" german is the softer, better to understand one

It is an often made mistake too call the language spoken by austrians german.

And there is only one region in germany with a good dialect of german, this area is called Saxony.
