@bremner@zeank@finn Ok, so I get that I wouldn't have heard of the Bavarian language in Munich, but I'm a bit irked that our au pair from Chiemsee did not tell me, even when we visited her family.
Bavarians are being told that speaking Bavarian is inferior and only stupid people do it. That’s why many avoid it at all costs. It’s a dying language, but mostly because of other reasons, I think.
@zeank@bremner@finn Every minority language goes through that phase. In Aotearoa we're almost past it with te reo Māori. Still a few numbskulls that think putting "Kura" on a road sign will cause accidents.
