While this might be true, I could not find any source on that on a quick Internet search. And I didn't ever hear of that.

It's used maybe more in adjective form in linguistics alot. I remember reading a paper on how important the difference is.

Either way, you know what I mean: Bavarian can be used for both the state and the linguistic group and I was referring to the cultural/linguistic group. I think "Old Bavaria" is also used to disambiguate.
