Which language do Austria people speak better?
Austrians generally speak German, although you will encounter many people who can speak very good English if you do any travelling there. Austrian German is a dialect in itself, and varies from region to region within the country… in Vienna, lots of Hochdeutsch, or High German, is spoken, which will be familiar to anyone who has studied German in school.

It is not just a different accent, but a different dialect altogether. This is much different from GERMANY German, and although people who have studied German in school or otherwise can usually get by in other parts of Austria, if you travel to Tirol or Vorarlberg, or especially into Liechtenstein or Switzerland, you might be VERY confu
