Until 1866 Austria was part of Germany. In fact, until then Austria was officially the leading German state, but it was expelled from Germany by Prussia. A cultural (and clear political) distinction between Germany and Austria didn't really arise till after 1866. Other languages don't call the people in Germany "Germans"... and in fact they aren't the only progeny of the ancient Germanic tribes... As already said, these areas were a long time staying close together. This collective root explains the same (in Germany there are some dialects, too) language. German is the official language.
