Sixty-four percent of the population is Austro-Bavarian or Tyrolean and speaks German. Around a quarter of the population speak Italian as their first language, mainly concentrated in and around the two largest cities (Bolzano and Merano), 4-5% speak Ladin as their first language amd 12% cannot be identified as to first language preference since they are probably recent immigrants.
South Tyrol is granted a considerable level of self-government, consisting of a large range of exclusive legislative and executive powers and a fiscal regime that allows the province to retain a large part of most levied taxes, while nevertheless remaining a net contributor to the national budget. As of 2011, South Tyrol is among the wealthiest regions in Italy and the European Union.
