Central Austro-Bavarian dialects are spoken in Munich , Upper Bavaria , Lower Bavaria , southern Upper Palatinate , the Swabia n district of Aichach , the northern parts of the State Of Salzburg , Upper Austria , Lower Austria , Vienna (''see Viennese Language '') and the Northern Burgenland ). There are noticeable differences in the language within the group, but changes occur along a west-east continuum. That means that the languages of Vienna and Munich are very different from each other, but the dialects of any two neighboring towns in between will be quite similar. Generally, Viennese has some characteristics differentiating it from other Austro-Bavarian dialects. A characteristic of Central Austro-Bavarian is the vocalization of ''l'' and ''r'' after ''e'' or ''i''. E.g. the standard German ''viel'' becomes either ''vui'' (in Western Central Austro-Bavarian) or ''vüü'' (in Eastern Central Austro-Bavarian). The border between the western and eastern subgroups roughly coincides with the border between Bavaria and Austria . In all subgroups, hard consonants such as ''p, t, k'' are softened to become ''b, d, g''. |
