Czechization
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Czechization (Czech: čechizace) is a cultural change in which something ethnically non-Czech is made to become Czech. This concept is especially relevant in relation to Germans and Poles; to a smaller extent, it has also occurred with Slovaks and Ruthenians (Rusyns).[citation needed]

Czechization in Germany [edit]
"In June 1905, the German language paper Bohemia of Prague reported Czechization in Saxony, Germany after a great influx of Czech workers had Czechified the town of Ostritz.[1] According to Saxon officials the reports were greatly exaggerated.[1] They conceded that while Czech speakers in Saxon communities were fewer than popularly supposed, they were nevertheless worth watching."[1]
