The Austrian version of German, close to Bavarian.
And that is the ONLY language spoken there!
I lived there for 6 years. |

They speak German but it is a dialect as is the German spoken in Switzerland. I suppose the nearest comparison would be a London accent compared with Geordie or Yorkshire. |

Hi, official language is German.
Although Austria has adapted the German language and it differs somewhat to the German, but only minimally. |

They speak German. Each region has their own dialect, just like in the United Kingdom each city speaks English with a different accent. These days, most young Austrians speak 3 or more languages.
Cheers,

Sprechen sie Deutsche in Osterreich! (They speak Greman in Austria) If you want a famous native Austrian think Ah-nold Schwartznnegger. Pretty strong Greman accent though not as strong as it used to be.
It is a good question -- it wouldn't surprise me if someone said Austrian! It is very culturally tied to Germany. This is one reason the world didn't flinch much when Hitler took it over in 1938 -- they figured it was German anyway.
I am guessing it is not part of Germany in that it was part of the Austria-Hungary Empire for many years. Germany was not a country until 1868. In fact many hundred years ago the term "German" was consisdered an insult. This is according to history teachers I have had. |

Mostly German. Lots of Italian, too. Plus all those Eastern European languages! Depends what part of the country you are in, eh?
And it;s 'lingual', to help your English. |
