Bavarian
Southern German native
Bavarian refers to the people, culture, language, or things from Bavaria, a large state in southeastern Germany known for its Alps, beer halls, and lederhosen.
Bavarian cream is a molded custard dessert.
The Bavarian dialect differs enough from standard German that other Germans sometimes struggle with it.
We stopped at a Bavarian village on our way to Munich.
