Language
Locals speak an Alemannic dialect of German which is closer to Schwyzerdütsch (Swiss-German) than to Hochdeutsch (standard German), a lingering legacy of the Germanic Alemanni tribes who settled in Vorarlberg, Switzerland and parts of southern Germany. This strong dialect is often quite hard for native German speakers to understand; the regional tourist office has even gone so far as to produce a Voralbergisch für den Urlaub (Vorarlberg dialect for the holiday) guide which translates common words and phrases into Hochdeutsch.
