But the fundamental issue with y'all is that you're assuming that there are languages and then there isn't anything else. When people say Austrian or Australian or Kiwi speak, they don't necessarily see them as "languages", unless they are desperate to make a point, which is the case here.
You can step into Australia, and tell anybody to teach you to speak "Australian". It would be drongo (my favorite word, apparently) to assume that you're actually looking at it as a language, the Australian mate of yours certainly won't. Because they will know, and you won't.
What is wrong with it? He used an American idiom "wheeling and dealing" since he doesn't know what its Austrian equivalent would be.
Because there isn't an 'Austrian' term...there IS a German term however.
You know,German,the official language of Austria.....
Please keep this up,it is fun making Obama supporters twist around in knots.
