That is not a problem, as the classification is clearly by language and
not geography. I also yet have to find any Danish or Sorbian articles in
the German Wikipedia.

I was guessing that Boarisch *was* the Bavarian version of Allemannisch.

No, "Boarisch" is Bavarian for "Bavarian", Harlan.

So they're different and Bavarians speak both?

Did you have a look at the maps? Alternatively, try
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Bavarian
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alemannic_German.
