Abstract
This article sketches ideologies of dialectal multilingualism in Bavaria and their impact on the construction of regional identities. In Bavaria, an “ethnolinguisticist” ideology differentiates between “tribes”, each with a specific dialectal repertoire as the “real”, authentic version. A discourse analysis of popular media and selective ethnographic interviews exemplifies these stylisations. The article closes with a discussion of the discrepancies between actual multilingualism and “ethnolinguisticist” ideology.
