Which country speaks the most German?

While Germany is the country most associated with the German language, it's not actually the country with the most German speakers.

That title belongs to Austria.

Here's why:

* Germany: Roughly 78 million people speak German as their native language in Germany.

* Austria: About 8.9 million people speak German as their native language in Austria.

* Switzerland: About 5.5 million people speak German as their native language in Switzerland.

However, it's important to note that this only considers native speakers. If we factor in people who speak German as a second language, the numbers shift.

In that case, Germany would likely take the lead again, as it has a large population of immigrants and international students who learn German.

So, the answer depends on how you define "most German speakers." If it's native speakers, then Austria wins. If it's overall speakers, then Germany is likely the victor.
