> It is a dialect, written form is German.

Both things are wrong. It's not a dialect in the sense that it is not the same language with special intonation, some new words and new idiomatic sentences. It has its own (much simpler) conjugation and declension scheme. Much closer in feel to a creole.

Its written form is also not german. Good luck reading some of the züri by mike comic strips as a german reader.
