Austro-Bavarian - Boarisch


Austro-Bavarian, or more usually, Bavarian, is spoken over a large area including south east Germany (mostly Bavaria), most of Austria except Vorarlberg (where a Swiss German dialect is spoken), and the South Tirol in Italy. There is no universally accepted standard way of writing it. A system that uses the letter å is fairly common in books, but in everyday signs and notices, for example, å is not used much.

9 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Matthew 6
