DESCRIPTION:The German nation has been shaped by the idea that the state 
 of the standard language is indicative of the state of national identity
 . I explore how Kiezdeutsch (lit. ‘hood German’)\, a multiethnic youth v
 ariety spoken in Germany’s urban areas\, is seen as a threat to this spa
 ce. Using online data\, which contains expressions of linguistic attitud
 es towards Kiezdeutsch\, it examines the structure of a prevalent ideolo
 gy: The idea that Kiezdeutsch is causing decay of the German standard la
 nguage and that its speakers are causing decay of the German nation. \nT
 hrough the corpus analysis\, three layers of this ideology emerged. The 
 first is the construal of Kiezdeutsch and its speakers as immigrants fro
 m spaces culturally different to Germany. The second layer builds on thi
 s: Because the linguistic variety and its speakers have been portrayed a
 s foreigners\, they can now be depicted as taking away space from the Ge
 rman standard and the German national identity. Through this\, a third l
 ayer emerges\, which is seen as the consequence of this linguistic and c
 ultural space being taken away. The standard language and national ident
 ity decaying as they become the minority in what is perceived to be thei
 r rightful space. \nThe analysis shows how exclusionary and racist ideol
 ogies do not operate in isolation but rather build on each other. Not on
 ly do these three layers show how German nation building goes hand-in-ha
 nd with racialised – and racist – processes of group construction\, but 
 they also demonstrate how standard language ideologies are inseparable f
 rom beliefs about the German nation.  I believe that examining how extre
 mist ideologies operates is the first crucial step to combatting them.\n
