Editing Austrian German (section)

===Vocabulary===
There are many official terms that differ in Austrian German from their usage in most parts of [[Germany]]. Words used in Austria are {{Lang|de|Jänner}} (January) rather than {{Lang|de|Januar}},<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dollinger |first=Stefan |date=2021 |title=Österreichisches Deutsch oder Deutsch in Österreich? {{!}} NID - NetInteractive Documents |url=https://www.nid-library.com/Home/ViewBook/512/15/view |access-date=2025-03-26 |website= |pages=13 |quote=Und 'Jänner' ist hierzulande viel gebräuchlicher als das steife 'Januar'.}}</ref> {{Lang|de|Feber}} (more rare than ''Jänner'') in variation with {{Lang|de|Februar}}, {{Lang|de|heuer}} (this year) along with {{Lang|de|dieses Jahr}}, {{Lang|de|Stiege}} (stairs) along with {{Lang|de|Treppen}}, {{Lang|de|Rauchfang}} (chimney) instead of {{Lang|de|Schornstein}}, many administrative, legal and political terms, and many food terms, including the following:<ref>Otto Back, Erich Benedikt, Karl Blüml, et al.: Österreichisches Wörterbuch (neue Rechtschreibung).

There are, however, some [[false friends]] between the two regional varieties:
*{{Lang|de|Kasten}} (wardrobe) along with or instead of {{Lang|de|Schrank}} (and, similarly, {{Lang|de|Eiskasten}} along with {{Lang|de|Kühlschrank}}, fridge), as opposed to {{Lang|de|Kiste}}  (box) instead of {{Lang|de|Kasten}}. {{Lang|de|Kiste}} in Germany means both "box" and "chest".
*{{Lang|de|Sessel}} (chair) instead of {{Lang|de|Stuhl}}. {{Lang|de|Sessel}} means "{{linktext|easy chair}}" in Germany and {{Lang|de|Stuhl}} means "stool (faeces)" in both varieties.
