Why and how the text could be Bavarian
@ BessAgritianin

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. I just translated some sentences—see this link.

But regarding the articles: 

1. Yes, they do appear very often. However, it also depends on the text. Especially in recipes, the articles can also be omitted:

Example:

Original sentence: 

Nimm den Salbei, das Ölivenöl, das Salz und das Wasser und mische sie in dem Topf.
(Take the sage, the olive oil, the salt, and the water, and mix them in the pot.)

5 articles with “d”

Recipe: Nimm Salbei, Olivenöl, Salz und Wasser und mische sie in einem Topf.
(Take sage, olive oil, salt, and water and mix them in a pot.)

No article with “d,” but it’s exactly the same sentence with the same meaning. In recipes, the second version is primarily used.


But generally speaking, an article disappears in VBM due to the flow

Nimm den Salbei (take the sage) —broken down by vowels =

nimm den Salbei 
n i mmd e ns a lb ei

Let’s say, for example, that a = y.o, e = y.qo, and i = y.ch (and leave the consonants in German); then we have:


n   i   mmd    e      ns   a   lb(ei) 
ny ch.y mmd  y.qo ns  y.o lb(ei)


When the dots are converted back to spaces, this results in:

ny chmmdy qonsy olb(ei) -

The “den” disappears completely in the stream and is no longer recognizable afterward.
