Naaaaah, that's not Thuringian, it's Swabian (or rather, a parody of
Swabian). Thuringian is indeed quite similar to standard German,
but spoken with an accent that's hard to describe in a few words.
Basically, standard German is Thuringian as it was spoken a few
hundred years ago, but that's still a simplification of the facts.
Greetings,
Jörg.
