Description
Proverbs are often figurative formulas, expressing a truth of experience or advice of practical wisdom.

  • German is the official language of Austria.
    • Specifically, Austrian German (Österreichisches Deutsch) is used in government, education, media, and formal communication.
    • It is a standardized variety of German, very similar to what is spoken in Germany, but with some vocabulary, pronunciation, and expressions unique to Austria.
Spoken Languages in Austria:
Besides standard German, Austria has a rich tapestry of regional and minority languages:

Regional Dialects

  • Most Austrians speak Austro-Bavarian dialects in everyday life, especially outside major cities.
    • Found in most of the country, including Vienna, Salzburg, and Tyrol.
  • Alemannic dialects are spoken in the far western state of Vorarlberg, more closely related to Swiss German.
Recognized Minority Languages (under the Austrian constitution):
Austria officially recognizes six minority languages in certain regions:
  1. Slovene - spoken in parts of Carinthia and Styria (southern Austria).
  2. Croatian - spoken by the Burgenland Croats in the state of Burgenland.
  3. Hungarian - also spoken in Burgenland, near the Hungarian border.
  4. Czech - spoken in Vienna and some northern areas.
  5. Slovak - found in parts of eastern Austria and Vienna.
  6. Romani - spoken by the Roma community.
Other Languages Spoken by Immigrant Communities
Due to immigration, especially since the mid-20th century, Austria is also home to speakers of:
  • Turkish (one of the largest immigrant language groups)
  • Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian
  • Polish, Romanian, and Arabic
  • English is widely taught in schools and used in business and tourism, especially among younger generations.
