!!!Amtssprache

Language, Official: the official language of Austria is German; 
however, the "Volksgruppengesetz" (Law on Ethnic Groups) of July 7, 
1976 also permits the use of languages of officially recognised ethnic 
groups settled in Austria in dealings with public authorities. In 
certain administrative and judicial districts of Carinthia, Burgenland 
and Styria, where Slovenian, Croatian or mixed populations have 
settled, Slovenian and Croatian are also permitted as official 
languages.
