Type: article
Abstract: This paper describes the linguistic situation in Austria. The first part tries to handle a number of issues such as the languages that are used for colloquial ends, the number of their speakers along the last census, the linguistic situation in schools as well as the development of linguistic minorities. It also tries to characterize Austria as a moderately multilingual country. The second part deals with language regulations and the language policy adopted towards German, Austria’s national language, as well as towards the autochthonous minorities’ languages such as the Burgenland-Croatian and other minorities’ languages. The paper also accommodates the policy adopted towards foreign languages. A final assessment of language policies in Austria concludes the paper.
