	In the discussion about the pluricentric languages the term of a “standard language” sometimes appears. Lately we also differentiate between the written and the oral standard language. On the given examples I will show that the term “standard” is often misinterpreted, e.g. in the Duden, where Austrian terms are reported, but not German terms. That is why the term, in respect of dictionaries, should be thought over and certain conclusions should be drawn. Even Austrians, when they want to express themselves nobly and elegantly, often use German terms because they are not conscious that their Austrian terms are also correct (they know too little about pluricentric languages) and because of the fact that Germany is very dominant they suffer from a linguistic inferiority complex.
