Possible troll on the other thread, and I want to make sure to get SOURCED information on this thread before he perhaps finds this thread and tries to pull the “WikiAnswers” BS here...
From Encyclopedia Britannica Student Edition:
Official name Republik Österreich (Republic of Austria)
Form of government federal state with two legislative houses (Federal Council [62]; National Council [183])
Chief of state President
Head of government Chancellor
Capital Vienna
Official language German
Official religion none
Monetary unit euro (€)
Population estimate (2008) 8,338,000
Total area (sq mi) 32,383
Total area (sq km) 83,871
THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF AUSTRIA ISN’T AUSTRIAN... It is GERMAN.
[It’s sort of like Spanish — In Mexico if you speak Castillian Spanish (the form spoken in Spain, and taught in most schools), Mexicans will be able to understand you, but many of the words are a bit different when you learn MEXICAN Spanish. But, it’s ALL called “Spanish”.]
****************
From the CIA World FactBook (Credit to FReeper filbert)
Languages: German (official nationwide) 88.6%, Turkish 2.3%, Serbian 2.2%, Croatian (official in Burgenland) 1.6%, other (includes Slovene, official in Carinthia, and Hungarian, official in Burgenland) 5.3% (2001 census)
or, if you trust the CIA as much as anybody else should (which is to say, not at all) how about the
Austrian Embassy to the U.S.A.:
Official Languages: German, locally also Slovene, Hungarian, and Croatian
Since you are from Sweden it might interest you that Democrats despise foreign policy from Bill Clinton to Congress to Baraak 0bana. It is a throw away for them or something they do to look good for voters and ethnic groups here. Like Hillary debasing herself in front of the Mexicans
They are much better versed in domestic policy because that means how do they tax the producers to buy votes from the non-producers. Rahn Emanuelle is slash and burn competitor when it comes to domestic policy such as taking the US Census into the White House. He could give a sh!t about national security, about Islamic Jihad, about US relations with the world
Same as Clinton said —”It’s the economy stupid!”
Scheisskopf! ROFL!
Is that Austrian?
It may (or maybe not) have worked for Clinton, but times are different now. If you don’t do foreign policy and national security, foreign policy and national security will do you.
LOL, good one!
