Bayerisch / Bairisch [‘b͜aɪrɪʃ] Part 1 -> Bavarian is a German dialect that is mostly spoken in Bavaria (South-East Germany) and parts of Austria and Switzerland. Bavaria is Germany’s biggest Federal State and has about 12 Million inhabitants.
Click on the picture to listen to Bavarian dialect. I doubt you will understand much, even if you’re an eager student of German. But that shouldn’t frustrate you - the joke “70 million Germans do not speak Bavarian” (translation of the text in the pic) is true ;) If you play this video to people living in e.g. Northern Germany it’ll be very likely they won’t understand a thing ;)
