I wonder what it's called in Austria
-
Depending on where in Austria:
Kas, Käs or Kaas
-

-
Fromage - French (with other informal words such as "fromton" or "claquos")
-
Claquos ?! Je le connaissais pas celui là. Je vais le réutiliser au prochain repas de famille ;)
-
J'ai voulu vérifier l'orthographe, et autant c'est bon, autant a priori c'est spécifiquement le camembert, en tout cas d'après le wiktionnaire. Perso je l'utilise pour tous les fromages, mais y'a peut-être des puristes de l'argot qui m'y reprendraient.

Queso - Spanish

For the non-native: that 'S' is pronounced 'sh' and 'j' is pronounced 'y'. It almost sounds like shite.

That sounds like the Dutch word for cheese, "kaas". Only where you have a stumped /au̯ / sound, we have a long /a:/ sound.

Queijo (pronounced 'keijo')

That is not how you pronounce Keijo. (I'm just teasing, as it's a Finnish name and you're just estimating a pronunciation. We should all learn to use the IPA I think.)
