A.E.I.O.U.,或AEIOU,是哈布斯堡王朝皇帝使用的格言,亦是奥地利帝国的国家格言。这个格言是由腓特烈三世发明的,这位皇帝喜欢使用缩写的、带有神秘色彩的语言。在1666年发现的一本笔记上,他用德文和拉丁文解释了A.E.I.O.U.的含义:“世界属于奥地利”(德文:Alles Erdreich ist Österreich untertan;拉丁文:Austriae est imperare orbi universo)。在同一本笔记中的另一段则有使用A.E.I.O.U.作为第一行每个词首字母的对句,而这一行意为“我被选帝侯所喜爱”(拉丁文:amor electis, iniustis ordinor ultor)。 还有一些其它的解释和假设: * Austria est imperio optime unita(“奥地利是最优秀的联合帝国”) * Austria erit in orbe ultima(“奥地利将笑到最后”) * Austriae est imperare orbi universo(“奥地利命中注定统治世界”) 这些版本在今奥地利乃至整个前奥地利帝国的领土内都广泛流传。
