Hence my first language is Bavarian, in its southern Upper Austrian central-bavarian variant, I am especially interested in anything that links to this topic, from modern literature to language history, language politics, minority language issues and of course the difficult and sometimes confusing diglossic situation with Standard German, Austrian Standard German, German German, etc.
Any minority language speaker tends to defend his language a little bit, so please don't blame me for taking a pro-bavarian point of view in some article discussions. But I am really interested in keeping the discussion on a scientific level and I would never put some personal point of view, that is not supported by scholars with good reputation, in any article. If I unintentionally exagerate something at any time, please let me know (on my talk page or at the respective article's talk page).
