Re: Names in Austria
in reply to a message by Lala
German is the official language of Austria, with Slovene, Croatian and Hungarian also official in a province each.
The names used are usually German although no doubt influenced in places by those other languages.
My great-grandfather Carl was a captain in the Austrian army in WWI :-)
Here's a great link for all the statistics on Austria:
