German in the United States
Who speaks German, and where they turn up.
German is the official language of Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, most of Switzerland and parts of Belgium, Italy and Luxembourg. It is a major European trading language and the first language of ~95 million people.
German is widely requested by engineering firms, life-sciences companies, auto suppliers and legal firms handling cross-border transactions. Communities in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Texas retain heritage ties.

Linguistic considerations
Getting German right.
Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a German document is accepted on filing. Here is what we watch for.
Dialect & variety
Swiss German spoken dialects are mutually difficult for Standard German speakers; Swiss written German is Standard but uses ß-less orthography. Austrian German uses distinct administrative terminology.
