It’s kinda funny, I’m Flemish and a lot of French loan words (ambriage, merci, nondedju = nom de dieu to name a few) are mainly used in dialect, and therefore don’t make you sounds sophisticated or worldly at all.

From what I know it's similar in Swiss German (with words like merci and velo (bike)). I don't know about Fleming but Swiss embraces their dialects so it isn't stigmatized either

Heh, we use velo as well. And yeah, we don’t really stigmatise dialects that much either, though depending on how much dialect you use people might find it unprofessional.
