What happened with the Swabian speaking people who lived in Hungary?

The Germans had areas of settlement in Eastern Europe since the middle age or even earlier. A well known "tribe" were e.g. the "Sudetendeutsche" in todays Czechia or the "Donauschwaben" in Hungary. Many of these settlements were purely German and only few local nationals left among them. After WW II many of this people were chased out of their homes and spread over what is now Germany. However, several stayed esp. in Romania and Hungary and some of them are still there. Slowly they get assimilated by the local culture. There are still people with German origin leaving Romania, Hungaria or Russia and settling in todays Germany.

Des isch ja eu frechheit hier,dass keu eusger Satz in schwäbischm dohsteht

Dann schreib halt einen rein! BTW these Donauschwaben moved to this regions from about 1680 to 1800. So no connection to the middle age! Tilda —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.23.232.229 (talk) 18:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nasals

I thought Swabian was renowned for it's thee nasals: ôâg'nêhm? Shouldn't there be some mention of it? -- megA (talk) 21:47, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are. Also, coming from there, i´ve neer heard of the plural diminutive -la, and all swabians speak with an "unique intonation", which many of them retain in speaking high-german. Baden-Württenberg prime ministers are notorious for this. --129.13.72.198 (talk) 22:21, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Standard Swabian?

There is no "standard Swabian" because there is no standardizing entity. The Stuttgart variant is traditionally perceived as "Honoratioraschwäbisch", i.e. greatly contaminated by Hochdeutsch, so how could it set a standard? Note that in the German article there is no mention of "standard Swabian". What would be the German word, Hochschwäbisch? There is no such thing.--94.222.218.157 (talk) 23:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
