What is DACH?

[-] maynarkh@feddit.nl 26 points 1 year ago

German-speaking countries in Europe. Deutschland (Germany), Austria and of course the Confœderatio Helvetica (Switzerland).

It's the country codes for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (Deutschland for the D, Confederation Helvetica for the CH). Those are the three countries with a majority of their people speaking German other than Liechtenstein, which is extremely small

It also means roof and is reminiscent of Dachsprache. One of those unreasonably neat acronyms.

And in particular it's the vehicle registration codes, ISO 3166 for Austria is AT (hence also the TLD).
