Romans 10:9 ‘Da Jesus is da Herr.’ Note the flattening dynamic is inverted relative to standard German: Bavarian daily speech defaults heavily to informal address (Du, first names) even in contexts where standard German might use formal titles, so ‘Herr’ already carries more inherent religious/formal weight in dialect usage than the everyday standard-German ‘Herr Müller’ pattern — a modest protective factor, though the doctrine’s stakes remain High regardless.
