 ==Description==
-The major language of records in Liechtenstein is German, written in the Gothic script.  Latin was used extensively.  German is the official language of the country, generally spoken with an Alemanni dialect.<ref name="profile">The Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Family History Record Profile: Liechtenstein,” Word document, private files of the FamilySearch Content Strategy Team, 1989-1999.</ref>
+The official language is '''German'''; most speak an ''Alemannic dialect'' of German that is highly divergent from ''Standard German'' but closely related to dialects spoken in neighboring regions such as Switzerland and Vorarlberg, Austria. In Triesenberg, a ''Walser German dialect'' promoted by the municipality is spoken. ''Swiss Standard German'' is also understood and spoken by most Liechtensteiners.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Liechtenstein," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liechtenstein#Languages, accessed 2 April 2021.</ref>
