Indeed, it seems to be an accurate Oberbairisch.
Worth mentioning: various renderings are in fact
phon. transcriptions valid to High German as well;
e.g. "sea" = "sehr"; "sea" or rather "se&" is the
pan-German pronunciation of "sehr". The pronunciation
of the [r] is extremely rare, perhaps in some South-
Suebian areas neighboring Switzerland, and in some
theater roles on stage. Or "wean" = "werden"; the
actual pronunciation throughout Germany and Austria
is either the same or "weadn". "[vaer-d&n]" or
"[ve:(r)-d(&)n]" pronunciations only in emphatic
diction, either to show off or for radio/TV broadcasting
of newscasts and the like or on theater stage. Again:
the pronunciation of the [r] is restricted to tiny
Suebian areas and to areas outside of the "reich":
German-speaking pockets in Romania, Poland, Russia,
Hungary.
