    Yes, German dialects can vary greatly for example here’s the same sentence “I have an apple.” in different German dialects:

    Standard German:

    “Ich habe einen Apfel.”

    Northern German / Platt:

    “Ik hab en Appel.”

    Middle German / Saxonian:

    " 'sch’habm Abbl." ( 'sch is pronounced like sh)

    Southern German / Bavarian & Austrian:

    “I hob an Opfü.” (I is pronounced like the single letter E)

    The Southern Germans are the ones with the Schwarzenegger accent.
