Europeans speak German more easily because it's not quite as hard as it seems to most Americans once you start learning it. Someone who doesn't speak it would only hear a bunch of say "grunting" noises, but once you can hear it it's much easier. Gramatacially, it's very similar to English, which some people find surprising, though in general the vocabulary is more different. I am a ten year old doing this from my bedroom in Ohio and do not speak German; I just have a friend who speaks it fluently. So, Joey, if you're reading this, dies Menchen sind ratlos!

No, the official language is German. but Austrians speak exclusively German (unless a different language is spoken in their family, just as in every other country). However, they do not speak the same German Germans speak - they speak a sometimes rather heavy dialect, or accent. That is, a German from the South will understand them easily, people from the North will have problems here and there, unless an Austrian makes an effort to enunciate. If you as a non-native speaker have had German in school, you will have problems understanding Austrians talking to each other, same goes for Switzerland by the way. They do speak German, however - so if you let them know you´re not Austrian they will speak almost perfectly clear German with only a little accent. Lovely people. : answered by Graceabelle

The Wikipedia article estimates 3 million native speakers, that is presumably, speakers who have acquired the language from their parents, plus a further 7 million who understand Low German. These figures are for Europe. The Low German-speaking communities outside Europe are very small.
