Language

A principality called Liechtenstein is sandwiched between Switzerland and Austria. Its capital city is called Vaduz, and it is home to about 40,000 people. The predominant tongue in this area is standard German. However, other German-related languages including Swiss German, Walser, Alemannic, and English are also spoken in this region. In fact, over time it has gotten so simple that Liechtenstein residents and linguists can discern someone's origins just by listening to them. This is a result of the connection between particular dialects and geographical regions.

Liechtenstein's official language and official national language is Standard German, usually known as German. The bulk of its residents speaks it. High German, Indo-European, East Middle German, and Germanic German are the four subgroups of Standard German. The Standard German used here shares many characteristics with the dialect used in the Austrian and Swiss provinces of Vorarlberg.

In the nation, there are about 29,000 people who speak Swiss German. Similar to Standard German, it is divided into categories. High German, Germanic, Upper German, and the Indo-European type are among the various classes. In recent years, Swiss German has become more commonly used, and Liechtenstein is no exception. Children growing up in this principality readily acquire it. This can be attributed to the fact that kids are heavily impacted by Swiss-German media and their primarily bilingual primary school teachers.
