[edit] Note moved from article

The following text was placed for several months on the article itself:

"!This article is in the process of being edited! The efforts are part of the German wikipedia's winter article review. If you want to participate or leave us a message, please do so here."

As it's more appropriate for the talk page, I moved it here. -- User:Docu

[edit] Kafka example

The article says:

Franz Kafka may be a good example: while in some of his writings he was declaring himself to be "German" this was meant more in relation to the ethnic minority living in Prague than as a declaration for another part of the empire. The official language in the school Franz went to was German, in private he spoke Czech, most of his works were written in German while private letters, like the ones to his lover Milena Jesenská were written in Czech.

As far as I know all Letters to Milena and mostly all other published letters are originally written in German. Am I wrong?

in private he spoke Czech: really? Is there a reliable source? Most of his friends (e.g. Max Brod) and of course his family members spoke German as their first language. --Candelilla 00:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
