===Classification===
===Classification===
Austman is classified as belonging to the High German dialect continuum, falling squarely within the upper High German dialects, specifically the Austro-Bavarian group. Despite eventually becoming the main variation of the German language to be spoken within Vienna, the dialect did not, in fact, originate around Vienna, but rather around the south of the country. The spread of Austman and subsequent breaking into various dialects has resulted in a disruption of the original High German dialect continuum in Austria and beyond, leading to some uncertainty as to where exactly in Austria the dialect originated, though it is strongly suggested that it formed in [[w:styria|Styria]] due to its strength around the city of Graz, and northward progression throughout history.

===Characteristics===
Austman displays a large number of loanwords from Turkish, Arabic and Persian. The number is quite larger than other languages of Christian or formerly Christian subjects of the Ottoman Empire. This is hypothesised to be due to the rapid rise in social status of the Islamized Germans that came to comprise the foundational stock of the Austmans leading to increased contact with Turkish speaking officials and administrator, as well as the extremely strong religious divide between the Austmans and Germans prevoking an intentional "islamification" of the language.
The core of the language is Germanic, comprising approximately 50% of the total base vocabulary. Words of Arabic and Turko-Arabic origins make up an additional 30% of vocabulary, mostly found in words related to topics of Religion, Law, Government and Education. Turkish loanwords add up to 10% of the lexicon, being mostly used in military, religious, and administrative terms. 5% of words, primarily related to some agricultural and labor terms, are derived from a South Slavic stock, mostly from Slovene and Serbo-Croatian origin. A percentage of Turkish loanwords are actually Persian loanwords, mostly related to fields such as medicine and science.
====Gender====
A curious feature of Austman has been the simplification of Old High German's gender system. Masculine and Neuter have collapsed into a single Masculine Gender.
====Case====
Austman has retained only three of the original 5 cases of Old High German, with accusative fusing with dative and instrumental, becoming the Oblique case.
The List of Cases is:
* Nominative Case, which is used to express the subject of a statement.
* Oblique Case, which expresses the object of a verb.
* Genitive Case, which expresses possession, measurement, or source.
==Phonology==
===History===
Austman is mildly divergent in terms of its sound changes from the High German dialects that would develop into Standard German.
Austman shows a slight collapse of High German's vowel inventory by way of unrounding of /y/ and /ø/ into /i/ and /e/. As well, stressed High German /e/ broke into /ie/, later /je/ which palatized proceeding consonants.

===Turkish Affricates and Rounded Vowels===
Due to the collapse of natural round vowels, the Turkish sounds of /y/ and /ø/ have become foreign sounds, and thus in loanwords are represented as /iu/ and /eʁ/ respectively. As well, the Turkish /d͡ʒ/ becomes /t͡s/ or rarely /t͡ʃ/ depending on age of loan and position within the word.
==Morphology==
===Nouns===
Austman nouns decline according to case and number, with the language possessing two grammatical Genders, 3 grammatical cases, and 2 levels of plurality.
