 Austro-Bavarian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Austro-Bavarian language has its origins in the Germanic tribe known as the Baioari or Bajuwarii, who established a tribal duchy, which covered much of what is today Bavaria and some of Austria in the early middle ages and was eventually subdued by Charlemagne.
Genetically Bavarian is part of the Upper German family along with Alemannic (which includes Swabian and Swiss German), whereas Standard German is part of the Middle German family, closer to Saxon.
Although Austro-Bavarian as a spoken language is in daily use in its region, Standard German is preferred in the mass media.

 Goethe-Institut The Power of Language - Multilingualism
You, a native of the British Isles, are fostering and documenting the Bavarian language.
Language is invariably an indication of the state of a society, and so the description of a dialect is essential for the description of a region: dialect is the expression par excellence of a local and regional identity.
In doing this, the evaluation of the regions is transferred to the languageBavarian as the language of a holiday goal tends to be pleasing; Saxon as the language of a former industrial area to be ugly, if one gives credence to the surveys.

 Origins of Yiddish
With Yiddish, the language of the Ashkenazic Jews of Central and Eastern Europe, the task is even harder because of the horrifying fact that most of the speakers were exterminated in the Holocaust.
By trying to reconstruct the original Yiddish, linguists hope to explain the origins of this rich language, in which a largely Germanic grammar and vocabulary is mixed with Hebrew and Aramaic, and sprinkled with words from Slavic and ancient Romance languages.
But in Yiddish and Bavarian the two words are pronounced "tog" and "rod." Another example: the words "Blume" (flower) and "Gasse" (street) are pronounced with two syllables in German but with one syllable in Bavarian and Yiddish.
