West Germanic Languages group

  • Some German speaking communities still survive in parts of Romania, the Czech Republic. Hungary, and above all Russia. Kazakhstan and Poland, although massive relocations to Germany in the late 1940s and 1990s have depopulated most of these communities.
  • The largest German speaking communities are to be found in the U.S., Brazil and in Argentina where millions of Germans migrated in the last 200 years; but the great majority of their descendants no longer speak German. Additionally, German speaking communities are to be found in the former German colony of Namibia, as well as in the other countries of German emigration such as Canada. Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Venezuela South Africa, Thailand, and Australia. See also Plautdietsch.
