The Bavarian Dialect is complicated. It consists of much grunting and swearing, and sometimes not saying anything at all. Bavarians are considered to be not very talkative, because the Bavarian dialect often summarizes the words. Furthermore a lot of words lose their harshness in the Bavarian dialect and become a different meaning.

Bavarian is told to be one of the most charming German dialects.
