Its history reflects a blend of French and German influences, seen in its architecture, cuisine, and traditions. Strasbourg, the regional capital, is home to the European Parliament and the iconic Strasbourg Cathedral.

Alsatian

Alsatian is spoken in the Alsace region of eastern France, near the borders of Germany and Switzerland. It belongs to the Upper German dialect group, closely related to Swiss German and Swabian. While French is the official language, Alsatian remains culturally significant, especially in rural areas and among older generations. It has experienced a decline due to historical pressures to adopt French but has seen some revival efforts through local media and education.

The Asterix comic series has been translated into Alsatian, the regional dialect of Alsace in eastern France. The following albums are available:

2. “Astérix geht wieder dran”: Released in 2004 by Éditions Albert René, this edition is the Alsatian translation of “Asterix and the Actress”.

These translations are part of broader efforts to adapt Asterix into various regional languages and dialects, reflecting the series’ wide appeal and cultural adaptability.
