Although my title seems to contradict itself slightly, are there any instances in which a German dialect has a kind of "standardised" orthography. While living in Austria, I spoke a heavy Vorarlbergerisch dialect and noticed that there were often phrases from the language which had somehow been written with a standard orthography (especially in shops like Sutterlüty)!

Hello German Language SE, this is my first post and I want to ask an interesting question!

Although my title seems to contradict itself slightly, are there any instances in which a German dialect has a kind of "standardised" orthography. While living in Austria, I spoke a heavy Vorarlbergerisch dialect and noticed that there were often phrases from the language which had somehow been written with a standard orthography (especially in shops like Sutterlüty)!

Thanks, sorry if this is a silly question!
