 The annexation of Austria into Greater Germany in 1938 had also brought a unified official standard form of the German language, that was now revised by referring to pre-war Austrian standards and by including local vocabulary originating from Austro-Bavarian dialects, especially but not exclusively typical Viennese terms.The Austrian dictionary hence defined the Austrian form of Standard German, making it official and obligatory for use in schools and in public administration.For private persons, the business correspondence of companies, publishing houses and newspapers it remained an orthographic recommendation.
