          Your comment about speaking Austrian reminded me of one of my many visits to Germany. I was at the Oktoberfest in München and my group got chatting to a local, whereupon he proudly proclaimed: “Here… you are not in Germany; you are in Bavaria!” Made us chuckle :-)

            Austria is atleast a real country (other than Bavaria) and from a recent travel to Vienna I can tell that Austrian is - while closely related to German - a language on its own.

          It’s fascinating, I’ve heard it online and in person from multiple nationalities.
          In our case it’s not so special because my mother tongue is German…
