Triesenberg is a village in Liechtenstein with a population of 2564, an area of 30 square kilometers, and an elevation of 884-1000 metres.
The village is noted for its distinct dialect, dating from the influence of Walser migrants in the Middle Ages. This dialect is actively promoted by the municipality. The existence of this dialect is one evidence of remarkable linguistic diversity within the small Principality, as it is spoken alongside the Standard German, and the Alemannic dialect common to the country.
