President Obama thinks 'Austrian' is a language? {Gadling}

Apr 8th 2009 9:43PM As a native speaker of Swiss-German....I can tell you that the Austrian dialect of German is not the same as high-German. High-German is used in business and for formal occasions. Colloquial speach, as it is in Switzerland, is the local dialect. Obama was right - he did not flub this one.
