@igelsQTs That's before the unification of Germany isn't it? I remember this based guy called the Kaiser who did something like that.

@AmpBenzScientist unification of germany never happened. Theres quite a few regions and countries left.

@igelsQTs @AmpBenzScientist where other than austria are you thinking of?

@gav @AmpBenzScientist german speaking regions arent hard to look up.

@igelsQTs @AmpBenzScientist i know but it doesnt make them german, so i asked which ones you were thinking of particularly

@gav @AmpBenzScientist of course it makes them german. What made a bavarian "german" other than being pressured into a unity via war with france? German is an ethnicity.

@gav @AmpBenzScientist for real please tell me how youd define "german" looking at how the second reich was formed. Deutsch is an umbrella term for all Germans. Not "people of federal republic of germany".

@igelsQTs @AmpBenzScientist how they talk, what they want to eat, how they court, how they socialize, what they like to do, if they dont act german then they clearly arent. i couldnt really tell the difference with any great detail sense im not german.
the first id suspect might not be german despite speaking it would be switzerland but maybe my vague impression is wrong

@gav @AmpBenzScientist all of what you listed varies alot even within the modern german state. If we divide europe like this we would have 100 more countries.

@gav @AmpBenzScientist you cant honestly tell me that the german speaking minority in italy's South Tyrol is "italian"

@AmpBenzScientist @gav austrian and swiss arent their own thing. They are germans only divided by different political systems from the rest of "germany"/"germania"/whatever

@AmpBenzScientist @gav I live in Baden-Wuerttemberg and the south of it is basically like the swiss. In contrast to north germans who seem completely different to both.

@AmpBenzScientist @gav if you want to divide german speaking areas then this is the only one that would make sense to me: general dialect regions
