Talk:German as a minority language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why are Kazakhstan Germans not discussed at greater length? ~ Dpr 22:28, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Official language

Two things:

  • in Ukraine, the only official language is Ukrainian.
  • in Romania, German is a language used at the local administration level in communes and cities where German ethnics are at least 30% of the population, not in the whole Transylvania. bogdan | Talk 08:31, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] German dialects

The article talks as if all German minorities spoke Standard German. Only Riograndenser is mentioned. Don't people speak their original dialects or local blends instead of the standard? I guess more so among people with Swiss or Austrian background.

[edit] Changed the redirect here from German minorities

German minorities now redirects to Ethnic Germans
