The "Little Prince" in Bavarian? Yes, is that allowed? Can the fine, elegant, smooth French of Saint-Exupéry's delicate fairy tale tone be translated into a possibly less refined Bavarian? Yes, indeed. The dialect contains the subject, the individual person with their unique perspective on this world, their experiences, and their personal life experiences. The dialect challenges the often forcefully asserted objectivity of the so-called standard language. This standard language is rule-based, independent of the speaker's identity. It is the sum of what is deemed correct in a textbook. This language could even be generated by a machine, but only a human can speak dialect. And: Bavarian carries a wonderful melody within it. It is almost drawn to the fairy tale tone of the French text and enters into a symbiosis with it that enchants the reader.
