Northern Bavarian is a dialect of the Bavarian language together with Central Bavarian and Southern Bavarian. The language is mostly spoken in the Upper Palatinate although not in Regensburg which is a primarily Central Bavarian–speaking area according to a linguistic survey done in the late 1980s. According to the same survey Northern Bavarian is also spoken in Upper Franconia as well as in some areas in Upper and Lower Bavaria such as in the areas around Eichstätt and Kelheim.
