Central Bavarian

Central Bavarian or Central Austro-Bavarian is a group of Bavarian dialects which are spoken in Austria. It is also spoken in Bavaria along the Danube, the northern Eastern Alps, and the Old Bavarian regions (mostly Munich). There are many large cities along the course of these rivers, and the dialects have a high prestige. They are also commonly used in TV and movie productions. It is commonly referred to as West Central Bavarian (Westmittelbairisch, spoken in Upper and Lower Bavaria) and East Central Bavarian (Ostmittelbairisch, spoken in Upper and Lower Austria, Salzburg, Styria, and Burgenland).
