German-speaking
Austrian, perhaps, linguistically
German-speaking describes people or regions where German is the primary language.
A German-speaking country like Austria or Switzerland uses German officially.
German-speaking immigrants or communities maintain the language wherever they settle.
The term identifies linguistic rather than national identity—Swiss Germans are German-speaking but not German.
