Answer:
In the Northwest of Germany they’re talking some sort of a mixture of Dutch, English and German. It´s called Plattdeutsch and it is mostly spoken by the older people. Also a slang of the North is Friesisch.
Bochum lies in the Middlewest (!) in a very high populated area called Ruhrgebiet (many Heavyindustries and old Coalmines). In this area the slang is very special. It´s a deep rooted native slang and a tiny bit snotty. They accentuate the letters L, T and A and swallow some letters like St, E and Z. (But that’s not a basic rule there are exeptions)
Example:
Regular German: “Kannst Du Dir das vorstellen?” (Can you imagine that?)
Slang: “Kannse Dir datt voarstelln?”
Reg.German: “Das hatte ich mir ganz anders vorgestellt.” (That's not how I'd visualised things. / I visualised that comlplete different.)
Slang: “Datt hatt ich mir janz anders vorjestelllt.”
