In which other country is there a large German-speaking population?

German is the majority language and an official language in Austria, where most people speak German. The other listed countries do not have large German-speaking populations; at most they have small minorities or communities.

• Look for countries where German is an official or majority language (think of the -A-CH-L region: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein).
• Use elimination: Nordic and Iberian countries generally do not have sizable German-speaking majorities.
• Consider geography and history: neighboring countries with strong historical ties to German-speaking regions are more likely to have large German-speaking populations.
• Remember that some countries have German-speaking minorities (e.g., Belgium, Italy’s South Tyrol, Luxembourg), but the question asks for a large population.
