A comprehensive collection of Austrian-German legal, administrative and economic terms is offered in Markhardt, Heidemarie: Wörterbuch der österreichischen Rechts-, Wirtschafts- und Verwaltungsterminologie (Peter Lang, 2006). Because of German's <a href="/wiki/Pluricentric_language" title="Pluricentric language">pluricentric</a> nature, German dialects in Austria should not be confused with the variety of Standard Austrian German spoken by most Austrians, which is distinct from that of <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a> or <a href="/wiki/Switzerland" title="Switzerland">Switzerland</a>.

It is a very traditional form of the language, probably derived from medieval <a href="/wiki/Deed" title="Deed">deeds</a> and documents, and has a very complex structure and vocabulary generally reserved for such documents. For most speakers (even native speakers), this form of the language is generally difficult to understand, as it contains many highly specialised terms for diplomatic, internal, official, and military matters. There are no regional variations because the special written form has been used mainly by a government that has now for centuries been based in Vienna. Österreichische Kanzleisprache is now used less and less because of various administrative reforms that reduced the number of traditional civil servants (<a href="/wiki/Beamter" title="Beamter">Beamte</a>). As a result, Standard Austrian German is replacing it in government and administrative texts. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="European_Union">European Union</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Austrian_German&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: European Union" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> When Austria became a member of the <a href="/wiki/European_Union" title="European Union">European Union</a>, 23 food-related terms were listed in its <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Accession_1994" title="Treaty of Accession 1994">accession</a> agreement as having the same legal status as the equivalent terms used in Germany,<a href="#cite_note-15">[14]</a> for example, the words for "potato", "tomato", and "Brussels sprouts".<a href="#cite_note-17">[note 2]</a> (Examples in "<a href="#Vocab_difference">Vocabulary</a>") Austrian German is the only variety of a <a href="/wiki/Pluricentric_language" title="Pluricentric language">pluricentric language</a> recognized under international law or EU primary law.<a href="#cite_note-18">[16]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Grammar">Grammar</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Austrian_German&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Grammar" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Verbs">Verbs</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Austrian_German&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Verbs" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In <a href="/wiki/Austria" title="Austria">Austria</a>, as in the <a href="/wiki/Languages_of_Switzerland#German" title="Languages of Switzerland">German-speaking parts of Switzerland</a> and in <a href="/wiki/Southern_Germany" title="Southern Germany">southern Germany</a>, verbs that express a state tend to use sein as the <a href="/wiki/Auxiliary_verb" title="Auxiliary verb">auxiliary verb</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Perfect_(grammar)" title="Perfect (grammar)">perfect</a>, as well as verbs of movement. <a href="/wiki/German_verb" class="mw-redirect" title="German verb">Verbs</a> which fall into this category include sitzen (to sit), liegen (to lie) and, in parts of <a href="/wiki/Styria" title="Styria">Styria</a> and <a href="/wiki/Carinthia_(state)" class="mw-redirect" title="Carinthia (state)">Carinthia</a>, schlafen (to sleep).

While strong forms of the various dialects are not fully <a href="/wiki/Mutually_intelligible" class="mw-redirect" title="Mutually intelligible">mutually intelligible</a> to <a href="/wiki/Northern_Germany" title="Northern Germany">northern Germans</a>, communication is much easier in <a href="/wiki/Bavaria" title="Bavaria">Bavaria</a>, especially rural areas, where the Bavarian dialect still predominates as the mother tongue. The <a href="/wiki/Central_Austro-Bavarian" class="mw-redirect" title="Central Austro-Bavarian">Central Austro-Bavarian</a> dialects are more intelligible to speakers of <a href="/wiki/Standard_German" title="Standard German">Standard German</a> than the <a href="/wiki/Southern_Austro-Bavarian" class="mw-redirect" title="Southern Austro-Bavarian">Southern Austro-Bavarian</a> dialects of <a href="/wiki/Tyrol_(state)" title="Tyrol (state)">Tyrol</a>. <a href="/wiki/Viennese_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Viennese language">Viennese</a>, the Austro-Bavarian dialect of <a href="/wiki/Vienna" title="Vienna">Vienna</a>, is seen for many in Germany as quintessentially Austrian. The people of <a href="/wiki/Graz" title="Graz">Graz</a>, the capital of <a href="/wiki/Styria" title="Styria">Styria</a>, speak yet another dialect which is not very Styrian and more easily understood by people from other parts of Austria than other Styrian dialects, for example from western Styria. Simple words in the various dialects are very similar, but pronunciation is distinct for each and, after listening to a few spoken words, it may be possible for an Austrian to realise which <a href="/wiki/Dialect" title="Dialect">dialect</a> is being spoken. However, in regard to the dialects of the deeper valleys of the Tyrol, other Tyroleans are often unable to understand them. Speakers from the different <a href="/wiki/Provinces_of_Austria" class="mw-redirect" title="Provinces of Austria">provinces of Austria</a> can easily be distinguished from each other by their particular accents (probably more so than Bavarians), those of <a href="/wiki/Carinthia_(state)" class="mw-redirect" title="Carinthia (state)">Carinthia</a>, Styria, Vienna, <a href="/wiki/Upper_Austria" title="Upper Austria">Upper Austria</a>, and the Tyrol being very characteristic. Speakers from those regions, even those speaking Standard German, can usually be easily identified by their accent, even by an untrained listener. Several of the dialects have been influenced by contact with non-Germanic linguistic groups, such as the dialect of Carinthia, where, in the past, many speakers were bilingual (and, in the southeastern portions of the state, many still are even today) with <a href="/wiki/Slovene_language" title="Slovene language">Slovene</a>, and the dialect of Vienna, which has been influenced by immigration during the <a href="/wiki/Austria-Hungary" title="Austria-Hungary">Austro-Hungarian</a> period, particularly from what is today the <a href="/wiki/Czech_Republic" title="Czech Republic">Czech Republic</a>.
