Alsatian is a German language spoken by 1.5 million people in the Alsace region in France near the German border. It is closely related to Swiss German and other southern German dialects. The language is not standardized, and each speaker has a local dialect. Standard German is the language of education. Most of the Alsatian speakers (80-90%) are bilingual in Alsatian and French.
