    Did Franz Kafka speak "Pragerdeutsch"?

    Question #114459. Asked by author. (May 01 10 7:46 PM)

    		It seems he could.

    Born in Prague, Kafka was fluent in Czech, but chose to write in Prager Deutsch (Prague German), the dialect spoken by the German Jewish and Christian minorities in the Bohemian capital. Prague German, he felt, was more "truthful" than High German: Using it skillfully, he was able to make it work for him in a way that was purely his own.
