Today these labels are no longer applicable, and one speaks of a single Viennese dialect, with its usage varying as one moves further away from the city.

All in all, speaking Viennese masterly by intonating sentences with distinctive ups and downs creates a very warm, melodic sound.

Furthermore, it integrated many expressions from other languages, particularly from other parts of the former Habsburg monarchy, as Vienna served as a melting pot for its constituent populations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

[citation needed] For example: Waaaßt, wos mir heut in der Schule für än gråååsliches Fläääsch kriegt ham?

(Standard German Weißt du, was für ein widerliches Fleisch wir heute in der Schule vorgesetzt bekamen?)

As an ongoing process, particularly in areas with a high percentage of first- and second-generation immigrants, new loanwords find their way into Viennese, and so do changes in pronunciation.
