I think those extra languages for Germany do not make sense. "Central German" and others are only dialects, that are mostly understandable by each other and all "High German" speaking people.
I think you should remove "German dialects" completely as it does not make any sense and is not realistic to send each player to learn "High German" and a second language depending on the location of the club (for ex. "Central German"). They all will be learn "High German" IRL when going to some course.
