  • Great, Eurokent. Explain Österreichische Kanzleisprache.

    Or not. It is fruity for these losers to be ragging on Obama for what amounts to a humorous comment he made to an Austrian audience. The morons think they can win an election with such retarded Hauptschule tricks. Their party in the U.S. is going down in self-ignited flames.

  • @2camp4U Austrians learn hochdeutsch (not German German) in school, which is the same thing Germans learn, but they usually pick up a local dialect depending on where they grew up in Austria. Regardless, they still speak German... ps I live in Austria.

  • :D

  • Lose.

    Austrian German is distinct from German German. Some words do not translate.

    "When Austria became a member of the EU, the Austrian variety of the German language was 'protected' in Protocol No 10, regarding the use of specific Austrian terms of the German language in the framework of the European Union, which forms part of the Austrian EU accession treaty.

    The phrase "Wheeling and dealing" can have a unique, un-German translation in Austrian legalese Österreichische Kanzleisprache.

    On that basis, we must disqualify everyone except the city of Hannover and environs as German-speaking. I spent an academic year in Salzburg and was able to communicate with people as effectively as my German skills allowed. (My personal favorite dialect is Sächsisch--my first German teacher said I spoke with an Irish lilt, and that helps with Sächsisch!)

  • well, they don't really speak "German" ;-) It is German with Austrian accent, so you can call it indeed Austrian - and a different language than German - for instance, Bavarians definitely don't speak German xD (i LOVE Bavarian accent)
