Austrians
Austrians
are a
Germanic
ethnic group
, consisting of the population of the
Republic of Austria
, who share a common
Austrian culture
and Austrian
descent
and
history
. The English term
Austrians
was applied to the population of
Habsburg Austria
from the 17th or 18th century. Subsequently, during the 19th century, it referred to the citizens of the
Empire of Austria
(1804–1867), and from 1867 until 1918 to the citizens of
Cisleithania
. In the closest sense, the
term Austria
originally referred to the historical
March of Austria
, corresponding roughly to the
Vienna Basin
in what is today
Lower Austria
. However, Austrians are better described as a
nationality
, rather than an
ethnic group
.
