The official language of Germany is German,[2] with over 95 percent of the country speaking Standard German or a dialect of German as their first language.[3] This figure includes speakers of Northern Low Saxon, a recognized minority or regional language that is not considered separately from Standard German in statistics. Recognized minority languages have official status as well, usually in their respective regions.
