Despite all the similarities in pronounciations of Russian U+0429 and German
"ich" ,
U+0429 seems to be very hard for pronounce Germans, who learn Russian (the
most complicated for Germans is I think U+042B, which most of them pronounce
like German "u").

I was thinking about Hessisch too, which is Frankfurt area and the
German Bundesland Hessen.
I think I can distinguish about 6 different dialects, each one has a
different pronunciation of 'ich'. If anybody is interested I can
organize a conference call offlist and we can listen to the various
sounds by phone. Compare it with the Berlin version ;-)
