It is probably Alemannisch. It's a group of dialects of German spoken in southern Germany (and nearby). "Du bringes" would mean "you bring" in standard German, but the verb form is wrong; it should be "du bringst". I don't know if it means the same thing or if the grammar is different in Alemannisch.
It can't be German because "bissel" isn't a word in German. Yiddish is a possibility, but that would be "brengst", not "bringst". I think it has to be Alemannisch.

Du brings mir ....... It spelled incorrectly..... It is German but are your sure that what you heard or read is "Du brings mir...."???
It doesn't make any sense.... "Du brings" means "you bring".
I think the correct verb is "Du sprichst mir ein bisshen besser ..." If it is correct then it means "You speak...."
The word "alemannish" does not exist in the German language. The only word I can think of is the French word "Allemange" that means "Germany" . Someone got very mixed up with this...

I'm guessing it's a dialect of German, Alsatian maybe? (Based on the fact that "allemande" is French for German.) I'm thinking it means "You bring me a little better (alemannisch)"--but I don't know if "alemannisch" is referring to the dialact or perhaps a beer. I know "Kolsch" refers to both the local dialect and the local beer (of Cologne). So I'm thinking it could be either "Bring me a good draft" or "Please speak Standard German!" or maybe even "You're teaching me German."
Yeah I know that wasn't helpful. I'm in Switzerland and having enough trouble with the expressions here.

Hey, be careful, community guidelines say ^ ''English only''. I nearly got busted for using some Japanese. But, psssst, it may be German.
