Southern Austro-Bavarian is a term describing Germanic dialects which are part of the Austro-Bavarian group.
Southern Austro-Bavarian
They are primarily spoken in the Austrian federal-states of Tyrol, Carinthia and Styria, in the southern parts of Salzburg and Burgenland as well as in the Italian province of Bolzano-Bozen. There is also a small region in German Upper Bavaria around Garmisch-Partenkirchen where the dialect is also spoken.
The speech area historically included the former linguistic enclaves in Carniola (present-day Slovenia) around Kočevje (Gottschee), Sorica (Zarz) and Nemški Rovt (Deutsch Ruth). The Cimbrian language still spoken in several language-islands in north-eastern Italy (Friuli, Veneto and Trento) mostly counts as a separate Austro-Bavarian language variant.
