I don't see anything in your unformatted wall of text that indicates which language this came from, and changing the language header to "Austrian" was just wrong. The two languages we have for Austria are German and Alemannic German. Besides which, regardless of where it ultimately came from, it's Romanian now. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:30, 5 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
