History undoubtedly has much to say about it.

The similarity/identicalness between Germany and Austria can hardly be a coincidence.

The languages are so similar that they almost sound the same.
Apart from that, there seems to be clear differences between a Baltic.. erh, Prussian... uh, East German and an Austrian. The difference between the Austrian and the South German (e.g. a Bavarian) is not such. But yet again, there must be something to be said about the difference between the East German that we mentioned first, and the South German.
And, how does the North German relates to all?
