Mr Moron,
Having lived in Austria for more than 2 years, the language they speak is Deutsch (German). They are a very formal people, they believe in formality in ways we as American's would struggle with. A man who knows someone from grade school and may have known him 20 or more years would approach him and address him as MR. (whatever his job is) (Mr. Baker, Mr. Salesman, Mr. Farmer) this level of formality shows a great interest on what is proper, so to suggest they would throw that out the window for what the language is that they speak is lunacy. It is German, they know it they speak it and that is what they refer to it as.
