MIR KEHREN ZAM! – Die Entwicklung der germanischen Velare im Anlaut in den bairischen Dialekten Österreichs und Südtirols Eine Untersuchung anhand der Datenbank des »Wörterbuchs der bairischen Mundarten in Österreich«
The High German consonant shift affected all Old High German dialects to varying degrees; and Bavarian dialects partook in this sound change extensively. In this article, we first describe the phonetic and phonological properties aswell as the diachronic development of the Germanic velar plosives from the Germanic consonant shift up to Old High German. Then, we showcase the possibilities for phonological research via the lexicographical online database of the Dictionary of Bavarian Dialects in Austria by analyzing the typological and phonotactic synchronic distribution of velar onset clusters in the Bavarian dialects of Austria and South Tyrol.
