Thomas, Cimbrian is indeed a south Bavarian colonial variety. You say some dialects didn’t even undergo the second sound shift? I doubt this, but I would like to see examples, if you could provide them. As far as I know the incomplete second sound shift applies only to Langobardic proper, which is not the ancestor of Cimbric, and of course to the central German dialects north of the “Weißwurstlinie”.

You can find it on YouTube, if you look for Zimbrisch. Some dialects did not even have the second sound shift. Yours Thomas [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
