Bavarian / Austrian
Southern German colours the standard with a rolled or tapped r, a dark a that leans towards o, and -en endings reduced to a bare n. Consonants are lenis — the p/b, t/d contrast is weaker than in the north — and the melody is broader. This is the accent of the standard language as spoken in Munich and Vienna, not the dialect underneath it.
