Central Bavarian - Characteristics

Characteristics

A characteristic of Central Bavarian is the vocalization of l and r after e or i. E.g. the standard German viel becomes either vui (in Western Central Bavarian) or vüü (in Eastern Central Bavarian).

In all subgroups, hard consonants such as p, t, k are softened to become b, d, g.
