The Tyrolean Oberland (German: Tiroler Oberland) is that part of the Austrian state of Tyrol west of Innsbruck or, more precisely, west of the Melach river, but excluding the Außerfern region.
In many cases the region of Außerfern is also counted as part of the Oberland, although it is very isolated from the Tyrolean Oberland. The reasons for this are mainly administrative in nature, because the Außerfern has a very low population. In addition, several dialects in the Außerfern are very similar to the Oberland dialects and cause confusion even within Tyrol itself.
