h Servus Welcome to the Lang Focus Channel and my name is Paul Today we going compare standard German and bavarian a German Dialect That's so different from standard German that most other German Speakers find it difficult to understand bavarian is spoken in the state of Bavaria in southeastern Germany as well as in most of Austria and South Tyrol Italy because it includes most speakers in Austria you he iter to as aust bavarian Group while ger is based LG central ger Dialect areen in all aspects of the language including pronunciation vocabulary and grammar but of course

bavarian Speakers can Also speak standard German but with their own characteristic bavarian Accent bavarian is spoken Along a sliding Scale with standard German and its Speakers Mix it with deges of standard German depending on the situation andal ex they full on bavari with their family and close Friends standard German with some dialectal Elements with acquaintances and standard German at a bus meeting this sliding Scale between bavarian and standard German is sometimes compared to the one between scots and standard English in Scotland It's also worth noting that in large cities like Munich There are many people

who move there from other parts of Germany and from around the world so the speech There is normally Closer to standard German bavari can be further broken down into three groups bavarian central bavarian and Southern bavarian It has no standard form or standardized spelling and Across These three groups There are numerous local varieties that somewhat differ from each other so in order to compare with standard German we Focus on one particular variety the Dialect spoken in Upper Bavaria near Munich because bavarian differs from One area to another and People mix it with standard German to

varying degrees Some people May he I don't say it that way he I say it both ways That's to be expected because people use nonstandard dialects in different ways but Hopefully These examples will give you a general idea of how bavarian differs from standard German pronunciation r is often trill in bavarian whereas it's normally a uvular fricative in German for ex the word forain in standard German Regen and in bavarian rce what happ g s e after g ex becomes in ger mean becomes do was mean diff ger and more ger i in standard German

dich bavarian Ich die here notice the differ in pron we and noce the vows in verbs meaning have the Inde article is different As we saw and the word for present loses its short in bavarian or at least really reduced the pros mean takes a personal pron meaning you takes as Mir ist Ich auch a er sagte Mir dass heute auch sein geburtstag ist er s Das ist in other words me ine Here we the word for also And here we the differ in the third person singular form of the verb meaning to be meaning

is in English and looking at the other words you notice some differences in pronunciation and word form that we looked at earlier It seems that the speaker of the bavarian sentence actually said this in the Present tense not the past tense as some of You may have noticed but that's because we Focus on vocabulary at Sometimes form es ist heute heiß nicht wahr nicht wahr Ja das wetter ist dieses Jahr seltsam dieses Jahr Hin herau Auf Auf Auf used ger Reden sprechen werfen schien nominative accusative genitive bavarian has no genitive case possession is in ways

exan in ger Das Haus Des Mannes inan house for Mo is a contraction of and the masculine singular dative definite article So this is like saying the House of the man another use thee mos House The Def article and the n in here and then followed by the possessive pronoun This is like saying to the Man His house another difference involves verb tenses In bavarian the past tense is not used the perfect t is used instead ger Ich lach bavarian ied There are two exceptions the verb sign meaning to be and the verb volen meaning

Want Is that bavarian are negatives occ ger ger Das habe Ich noch nie gehört that Ban kt word that yet never not dou Weil keiner geld Honey got geren ALS Ich Anam hatten Sie noch nichts gegessen when arriv there here come back first in the word for when we see one of the pronunciation differences we encountered earlier Al in standard German corresponds with in bavarian next we see the different subject pronouns meaning i again or at least different forms of the same pronoun then we see that the verb meaning arrive is conjugated differently in ger

verb while bavarian Perfect particip participle ger next We can see that the auxiliary verb meaning had is pronounced differently we see the correspondence of a and o and we see the loss of the unstressed e in bavarian the word for yet takes a different form next in bavarian we see the word NX which is common Among German dialects in General bavarian It seems to be a contraction Ich denke die meinung Des lehrers ist unsinn think the opinion glab die meinung Vom Lehrer ism used in both standard German and bavarian so you could say ID denk

in bavarian But globin is more common in bavarian while denken is more common in standard German Note that denken means think while glauben means believe but they are often used interchangeably next notice the different way of showing possession in the standard German sentence this noun phrase is in the genitive case with both the definite article and the noun in the masculine singular genitive form remember that bavarian has no genitive so possession is shown with meaning of here because it's contracted with the Dat of case defin article which is for either masculine or Ne by the

way and notice that the noun doesn't have the genitive ending in bavarian it's in the dative case finally Here we see that the bavarian word for nonsense is different scharn it Literally means a kind of scrambled Pancake Dish Which looks pretty Darn delicious if you ask Andin article here means is n as se standard German and bavarian differ from each other in several different ways but of course bavarian dialects are not the only dialects that from standard German There are var dialects in all areas of Germany Austria Switzerland and South of course everyone learn standard

German which unites the speakers of all those different dialects but of course they do throw some dialectal Elements into their speech and speak with regional accents areu Dialect the of the day for Speakers of nonan var German How well Do you understand bavarian Speakers they using their dialects and for Speakers of bavarian to What extent do you use bavarian as opposed to standard German How does it differ depending on the situation Please leave your comments after the video special Thanks Goes Out to the Lang Focus channel's patreon supporters especially these people whose names appear On
