alsatian

It's not as if it's even a big dog, like a golden retriever, or a nice friendly alsatian.

Apparently there is also an Alsatian village named Munster with a distinctive cheese recreated by emigrants to the US.

He then went home and the family Alsatian (German Shepherd) killed him because his body scent had been changed.

Except for obvious cases I go for the French or Alsatian pronunciation and let the person correct me.

For Alsace, the goal of the french state was clear: kill the alsatian culture so that alsatians do not side anymore with the germans.

More likely a German, Austrian/Swiss, or Alsatian (France) one.

This began by prohibiting children to speak alsatian.

So you state rightfully that Parisian suppressed regional language (my grandmother and father were not allowed to speak alsatian at school), but you are using it to support the use of English?

As can be seen from even a cursory look on the dedicated Wikipedia page they're mostly pretty symmetrical and especially well-organized, as can very well be seen for the Alsatian town of Neuf-Brisach [2].

Reminds me of the ways that my mediocre grasp of the German language still haunts me => Resurrects myself out of specific tracks in which my half-hearted clutch on the Alsatian tongue still plagues me.

The reason that Chrome is winning is because Google has a massive money printer in the basement run by 3 guys and a hungry Alsatian (trained to bite anyone who messes with the money printer), and then 100,000 smart engineers desperately trying to find some application to throw that money at.

To answer your question of motivation/appeal to know more about your grandparents' parents (and beyond), here is one data point - I grew up hearing that my mother was related to the Alsatian polymath Albert Schweitzer (1) and I've wanted to see exactly how we are related.

I ate "authentic" Alsatian food that would be entirely unheard of a thousand years ago in the region and is largely the product of those peoples being repeatedly displaced and adopted into different nationalities and adopting one ingredient from here and another from here as it suited their needs.

So, the question isn’t “is X dish authentic” but, e.g., “is X dish authentically Mexican ” > I ate “authentic” Alsatian food that would be entirely unheard of a thousand years ago in the region That’s…not surprising.

Coincidentally a friend of mine was just attacked and bit by a large Alsatian.

Alsatian Pinot Noir for maybe $15 that is very good.

Alsatian wines would typically be labeled with the varietal on the bottle, for just that reason- Alsace is known for a variety of world class white wines.
