The name "High German" contrasts with "Low German", a term variously used to refer to the Low Saxon dialects originating from around the Baltic city of Lübeck; these dialects together with the Low Franconian languages (Dutch, West Flemish, and Afrikaans); or all of the Western Germanic languages other than High German (including English and Frisian).

 Charlemagne - Information at Halfvalue.com
He spoke the Germanic language of the Franks of his day, which should be called Old Frankish, but linguists differ on the identity and periodisation of the language, some going so far as to say that he did not speak Old Frankish, as Charlemagne was born in 742 or 747.
Linguists know very little about Old Frankish, as it attested mainly as phrases and words in the law codes of the main Frankish tribes (especially those of the Salian and Ripuarian Franks), which are written in Latin interspersed with Germanic elements.
If we take Liège (around 750) as the centre, we find Low Franconian in the north and northwest, Gallo-Romance (the ancestor of Old French) in the south and southwest and various Old High German dialects in the east.

Bavarian and Austrian together form a branch of the South Germanic language tree, besides Alemannic (which includes Swabian, Alsatian and Swiss German), Franconian (which includes Main Franconian, Ripuarian, Pfälzisch, Luxembourgisch and others) and Lower German or Plattdeutsch which is much closer to Dutch and Flemish than to Standard German.
Many Franconians don't want to be called Bavarians, as well as Bavarian don't want to call them so as well, and the cultural differences are quite striking.
Since the 2nd world war, there is a fourth tribe living in Bavaria, the Sudeten Germans which where chasen from their homes in the north of Bohemia and mainly settled in Bavaria.
