Deutsch
Language of Vienna
Deutsch is the German word for German—both the language and the nationality.
In English contexts, it appears in phrases like Pennsylvania Deutsch (often corrupted to "Dutch") and in German-language media titles.
English speakers encounter it on product labels, in language-learning contexts, and when Germans identify their language: Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
