Can Austrians speak German?

Yes, it´s the common language in Austria. There are different dialects of the German language, Austrians use some different expressions for some words - but it´s the same language!!
The Austrian dialect is very similar to the Bavarian dialect in Southern Germany


I should know best - I´m from Austria!!

A German would tell you that austrians speak Austrian and write German.

There are many spoken dialects in Austria and the proper German ("Hochdeutsch") is learned almost as a second language for many - since it has even a different grammar than the spoken dialects.

Austrians do speak German. Just with a different accent.

Austrians speak German, it's their native language. However the dialect is distinctive, something like a Georgia boy talking to a New Yorker. The Germans always know when the speaker is an Austrian
