Bavaria is in Germany. I believe that Bavarian is a variation of the German language, spoken in that region.

First, this must be a misspelling; not "Bravarian" but "Bavarian" language...

The Austro-Bavarian language has its origins in the Germanic tribe known as the Baioaren or Bajuwaren, who established a tribal duchy, which covered much of what is today Bavaria and some of Austria in the early middle ages and was eventually subdued by Charlemagne. However, they gradually migrated down the Danube and into the Alps to all those areas where Austro-Bavarian dialects are spoken.

In German, there is usually a difference made between "bairisch" (referring to the language) and "bayerisch" (referring to the state of Bavaria). Because of King Ludwig I's passion for everything Hellenic, the German name for Bavaria today is spelled "Bayern", while the language spoken there has retained its original spelling "Bairisch" — note the I versus the "Hellenic" Y.

The SIL code for Bavarian language is BAR. It has no ISO 639 code of its own, but is classified under the "Germanic (Other)" collective language code "gem". Genetically Bavarian is part of the Upper German family along with Alemannic (which includes Swabian and Swiss German), whereas Standard German is part of the Middle German family, closer to Saxon.

Bavarian, or "Austro-Bavarian" (same language) is a High German language, but it's not the same as Standard German (although most Bavarian speakers also speak Standard German). It's related to Hutterite German.

It is spoken in Bavaria (the south-eastern part of Germany), most of Austria, a small part of Switzerland near the Austrian border ,and Sud-Tyrol (in northern Italy).

Since Bavarian is spoken in parts of four different countries, the correct way to ask the question would be: "In what areas (or regions) is Bavarian spoken?"

Bavaria is a region is southern Germany. The south has its own dialect, but it's still the German language.

The correct way to ask the question is, "In which country is the Bavarian language spoken?"
