Why bavarian rhymes the way it does
In our engine, bavarian registers as a three-syllable word on the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) that ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 104 matches, family rhymes 99, additive and subtractive together 253, assonance 8,379, and consonance 1412. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for bavarian tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
