Austrian German is the standard variety of German used in Austria, spoken natively by about nine million people. It is one of the three national standard varieties of German, next to the German of Germany and Swiss Standard German, and it is the official language of Austria and, together with other languages, of the European Union.
In writing, Austrian German is very close to the German of Germany, so learners can read Austrian newspapers and books without trouble. The differences lie in vocabulary, pronunciation and a few grammatical habits. Many everyday words are typically Austrian: Paradeiser for tomatoes, Erdäpfel for potatoes, Marille for apricot, Topfen for curd cheese, Jänner for January and Sackerl for a small bag. Some of these words are protected in an official list that Austria added to its EU accession treaty in 1995.
The pronunciation is softer and more melodic than in northern Germany. Austrians usually greet with Grüß Gott or Servus, say heuer for this year and use the perfect tense more often than the simple past when they tell stories. Verbs of position such as sitzen, liegen and stehen take sein instead of haben: ich bin gesessen instead of ich habe gesessen.
Austria also has a rich spoken landscape of Bavarian and Alemannic dialects, from Viennese to Tyrolean, which can be hard to follow even for other German speakers. The standard language used in news, schools and offices is easy to understand for anyone who knows German.
Listening to an Austrian voice is a good way to get used to the sound and the typical words before a trip, a job or studies in Austria, and to understand Austrian media, from the ORF news to the many Austrian films and podcasts.
