I'm from central PA and I'm about 92% German from Baden-Wuerttenberg. Been here since the 1800's. This man looks like he could be my grandfather's brother or cousin.
Interesting story. Even more cause my family name is also german and have lots of germanic(probably swabian) ancestry. I can't speak german/swabian tho. But I would never change our family name, thats for sure.
My great great grandfather was born in Satulmare. We never changed our names, thats something to get disowned about. Time to bring back the the old great language!
So where exactly is his village - in Romania where the Swabians lived, in Serbia where you can find a district called Banat or in fact in Hungary - there is a region called Szatmar near Satu Mare in Romania, and hungarian sequence of letters 'sz' is read as 's'' so would it be that region of Hungary? I am really confused as to what place he comes from.
My Grandmother was partially Hungarian from Batchka (Serbia). She spoke a Donau Schwabisch dialect of German, but I am also a Slavic mix. This is very interesting to me. Thank you for creating this video.
@LuMoTo Kommt drauf an von wo man kommt aber in den eher ländlichen Regionen ist es immer noch stärker verbreitet. Meistens in Städten und da wo viele Neigschmeckte wohnet geht es immer mehr verloren. Ich kenne leider auch nur noch wenige Begriffe aus meinem Dialekt. Was sehr schade ist das die Ortsdialekte immer mehr verschwinden. Zu dem Thema der Identität würde ich sagen Schwaben und Baden wissen genau wo die Grenze verläuft. Bei Bayern kommt es darauf an Franken verstehe ich relativ gut. Menschen aus bspw. Oberschwaben verstehe ich auch gut. Aber so richtig breites Bayrisch aus Richtung Österreich da muss ich mich etwas konzentrieren geht in der Regel aber auch noch.
@@84ch322 I come from 6000 years of Swabian people. No he doesn’t. And he admitted in the talk that his speech has picked up from where he lived which is not in Germany only. Like my oma is Schwabe Speaks Swabian but with a Romanian accent Because that’s where she’s from.
@@TheOwlHead In Szatmar near Satu Mare in Romania they speak the old swabian dialect as it sounded in old Germany-Swabia 200 years ago. I was in Sathmar and heard native schwabian speakers with my own ears.

You should do some videos on the Polish language spoken in Bukovina in Nowy Sołoniec and Pojana Mikuli.

In the video description - "native village Petrești". I suppose it is Petrești commune in Satu Mare county, Romania. 47.6042N 22.3639E

Mein Vater auch Ungarn Schwabisch sprechen hat. (Sorry, my German is not good.)
Was ein Chef xD
So why does he have a Hungarian accent?
Banat has a lot of Hungarians in it, perhaps he is Hungarian
Wow it sounds a lot like swiss german in its pronunciation

He does not sound Swabian but he looks it. He sounds like he’s speaking Danish or something
He sounds very swabian! Voll schwäbisch!

@@84ch322 And my grandfather and my father and my mother sound Schwabe purely because We are from Baden-Württemberg. It isn’t complicated.
