South Tyrolean German or Tyrolese (Südtiroulerisch or Sîdtiroul(er)isch; Standard German: Südtirolerisch or Südtirolisch) is a dialect spoken in the northern Italian province of South Tyrol. It is generally considered to be a sub-variety of Southern Bavarian, and has many similarities with other South German languages, in particular with varieties of Austrian German. It may develop its own standard variety of German, though currently is linguistically heteronomous to German German (see One Standard German Axiom for discussion).

The difference between other Bavarian and South Tyrolean is the influence of Italian and Ladin in its lexicon.
