Standard Straschkauer German is a language variety of German. Writing system is almost the same as in German, but there are some differences (usage of letters é, å etc.). Pronunciation is similiar to Austrian pronunciation, but there are some slight differences. One of them is rhotical R, which is quite similiar to classic Scottish R. Writing system is almost the same as in German, but there are some differences which are there because of different pronunciation (usage of letter å to represent sound similliar to English a in ball etc.). Vocabulary of SStG is full of words, which are vernacular or dialectal in Standard German or Standard Austrian German. It's very similiar to Austro-Bavarian dialects of German or more specifically to Viennese. It's a mother tongue of 65% of Straschkau's population.
