Why and how the text could be Bavarian
#16
Problem is, that there is no „standard“ speaking or writing of „Bavarian“ as well as for any other dialects or German at all. Standardization of spelling and grammar came centuries later - shifts of b<—>p or vowels were quite common throughout all scripts and regions.
So this writing-as-hearing approach here can be all or nothing (again).

Next problem is, that even in the sample text here some postings before, a number of doubled consonants occured - some of them at quite uncommon places, several things are written different today, but I do not remember any german text coming without quite a bunch of double consonants and even vowels.
VMS shows nearly no double characters at all.
Yes, now the wonder boys will show up saying that it is no problem at all to magically ˋencrypt´ double letters as single characters and keeping them easily apart from really single letters — well if it is so easy, go on and just translate.
Whoever is german-speaking here: open a random VMS text page, look at the writing and tell me fully seriously that you see a german text structure there before you…
