 | | West Middle German is a High German dialect family in the German language. | | | This transition area between Middle German and Upper German is captured by the dialect families of Southern Franconian and East Franconian, colloquially miscalled Franconian, because dialects of this sub-family are spoken all over Franconia. | | | Apart from West Middle German on the southern edge and in south-east Franconian dialects are turning to Upper German. |

| | Organised persecution of ethnic Germans - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Organised persecution of ethnic Germans |
| | Persecution of ethnic Germans was much the same in Australia as it was in the United States during World War I. To avoid persecution, many Germans changed their names into anglicised or Francophone variants. | | | The Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was abolished and Volga Germans were banished from their settlements on the Volga River with many being deported to Siberia or Kazakhstan. | | | This includes the persecution of ethnic German Mennonite, Amish and Hutterite communities in the United States, and of Tyrolean Germans in Italy's South Tyrol. |

| | but this was after mass expulsions of Germans had already taken place, and the census was done when both the Soviets and Poles desired to minimize the count of remaining Germans, and thus foreign objections to their expulsion. | | | These expulsions were carried out with Red Army support and muscle, and gradually became more regularized, sometimes in the style of the infamous Soviet deportations of their Volga Germans, Crimean Tatars, Chechens, Ingushi, and other national groups to Siberia or other inhospitable areas. | | | As the early disorganized expulsions from Poland and other countries disgorged Germans into the American and British occupation zones of Germany, the Western Allies became increasingly concerned about the inhumane nature of the expulsions and the impact on their zones of this influx of expellees. |

| | Meanwhile, West Germans' desire to be seen as victims of the Soviets, rather than perpetrators against the Jews and other Nazi victims, skewed discussions of the origins of the expulsions. | | | From the start, Germans debated integration (where the expellees retained a traditional regional identity based on their original "homeland" in the East but became fully a part of West or East German society) versus assimilation (where the expellees abandoned any separate identity and became just like other West or East Germans). | | | West and East Germans succeeded, in different ways, in integrating them economically into newly evolving societies and in assimilating them or their children economically, socially, and politically over the long run. |

| | For Carpathian Germans, the CSR minority laws were an improvement compared to the harsher Magyar rule, even though their second-class status hurt, as well as the elimination of the historic German names of many cities from official use. | | | Remaining Carpathian Germans have already received over 20% of their property confiscated in 1946, (mainly derelict fields in isolated villages, and even there without the buildings, but still...) while the Czechs have returned nothing to the few thousand Germans survivors in Bohemia and Moravia, using the Benes-decrees as legal basis to deny elementary justice. | | | In 1940, 135,408 Carpathian Germans were counted, compared to 147,501 in 1930, reflecting the loss of Jewish Germans, and of several thousand in the territories returned to Hungary, and in Engerau and Theben, returned to Austria/Germany. |
