Joanne: A friend of mine moved to Bavaria from Dresden as a child and remembers that the Bavarian dialect was very different from what she had learned to speak. Click links below. Good descriptions of the various dialects/Germanic languages. The first link has a map showing the separation of the dialects. http://www.german.about.com/education/german/library/weekly/aa051898.htm http://www.german.about.com/education/german/msubdialect.htm http://softrat.home.mindspring.com/germanic.html Kathleen Schilling kschilli@hotmail.com >I was wondering, might anyone know if people from Bavaria spoke Low German? >I'm guessing that the high and low refer to the geographic location of a >place, and since Bavaria is in Southern Germany I'm inclined to think >Bavarian people spoke/speak Low German. Am I right or wrong? > >Thanks for any help, >Joanne ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
