(very close to Czech variant - it's pretty common for most Ukrainians to understand Polish and Czech, cause languages are pretty much similar)
Notes:
Written in Latin is a transcription only. Incomprehensible something in brackets is a correct translation into Ukrainian, written in Cyrillic alphabet used in Ukraine, Russia and some other CIS/Eastern Europe countries.
á - should be read as in French phrase "à la guerre comme à la guerre"
u - should be read as double "O" but not prolonged.
Tsch - the closest is English "Ch" as in "chinese"
je-ja should be read as "ye" in yellow or "ya" in "yankee"**

Please note that there are many sub-dialects within the Swabian dialect and that there's also no exact specification on how to write in dialect, thus I've translated as closely as possible to the pronunciation common in my region.

It's a bit exaggerated, but not entirely. ;)
My relatives definitely had strong regional accents.
e.g. "You'ontoo?" Translation: "You want to?"
e.g. "I'm fixin' ta." Translation: "I am about to perform this task."
e.g. "I'ma" Translation: "I am going to do something."
I still have that last one. :)

I live in central Texas and that is not exaggerated but rather spot on!
Although Good morning is usually Just "Mornin'" with a nod of the head. "Howdy" is mostly used by the
country bumpkins.
There are northern, central and southern Texas accents and language nuances as well. But all sounding the same to yank's :P

I say "Howdy" and I'm a "city slicker". :)
Also, I hate to call you out, but although you may live in Central Texas (as do I), you are not native, I presume?
Everyone that grew up here knows there are three Texas accents: East Texas, West Texas, and South Texas. Well, there's also Cajun, but that's a foreign dialect.

Born in Galveston.
I Just categorized them as N,S, and central how I perceived it. Never been out West. I lived in Galveston, Houston, Dallas, and now Waco. So maybe that judgment is based on those locations.
When I moved from Galveston to Dallas people could recognize I was from "down south".
But yes Texan here, city slicker myself.

My father's family was from Galveston. Spent a lot of time there growing up.
I'm just razzin' ya. :)
