Standard Straschkauer German is a variety of Austrian German spoken in the Grand Duchy of Straschkau. There are some differences between Standard Straschkauer German and other varieties of German. The most important ones are in vocabulary - it's strongly influenced by Czech, Hungarian, Italian, Yiddish, French and many other languages. The most important difference in writing system is usage of letter å, which represents sound between a/o, which is present also in many Austrian dialects, but isn't used in official Austrian German.
