About Bavarian
Bavarian, known locally as Boarisch, is a Upper German language spoken by approximately 14 million people across Bavaria and Austria, as well as parts of South Tyrol in Italy. Its roots trace back to the Germanic tribal languages of the early medieval period, developing distinctly from Standard German over many centuries.
Bavarian is written using the Latin alphabet, though it lacks a standardized orthography since it functions primarily as a spoken language. Despite being classified as a separate language by linguists, it is often considered a dialect of German in popular perception. An interesting fact about Bavarian is that it preserves many archaic Germanic features lost in Standard German, and it has a thriving presence in folk music, theater, and everyday conversation across its speaking region.
