File talk:Austria Hungary ethnic.svg
I think that this map of the ethnic groups in 1910 is slightly superficial in the area where it depicts Croats, Serbs... Since Croats and Serbs are two separate ethnic groups i can't see any reason why should they be printed in the same colour on a map, since no other nation isn't.
Please can someone correct that oversight,
Thank you in advance!
- Tecnically speaking, outside former Yugoslavia many scholars put the Serbs and Croats on the same South-Slavic/Yugoslav ethnicity, since both peoples speak the same language and the only relevant difference between them is the religious affiliations of their clans.
- And by the time the ethnic map of Austria-Hungary was made, the Austrian and Western researches also considered Serbs, Croats (and Muslim Bosnians) people of the same ethnicity.--187.37.63.200 (talk) 05:15, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
1st.- In connection of serbian and croatian language it is not true that it is one tongue, and never was. Neither the stipulation that only relevant difference is religion affiliation is not true. There are (and long time ago was) also catholic Serbians, otrhodox or greek-catholic Croatians, and also muslim Croatians. In today Bosnia it is clear that croatian, serbian and bosnian are not one language nor in situation, when share common characters (latinica). In contemporary maps, as for Hungary statistics 1880-1910 Croatian and Serb was distinguished, so I could not take legitimity of its mixture based on sources.
2nd. - In this map all slovak areas in contemporary Hungary within Trianon borders are passed as "german" (Pilis, Bakony, south of Komarom-Estergom county and also south Nograd, Pest county and other) or are erased totally ( central Nograd, Heves, Bekes county, Nyiregyhaza and vicinity, Bukk area, Huta´s area) - in other maps of ethnic composition of Hungary this areas are noted as inhabited by Slovak community (in 1910 somewhat about half of milion people). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.151.218.135 (talk) 19:13, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
As for 1st.: You are absolutelly wrong about Croats and Serbs (i.e. Serbo-Croats, like they were called in Austro-Hungary). You and your totally DEFEATED cro-nationalistic propaganda can say any nonsense you want, but it is all worthless. The facts are that Serbs, Croats and Bosnians speak ONE and SAME language, which is called SERBO-CROATIAN, or lately known as BOSNIAN/CROATIAN/SERBIAN. Because of this fact and the widely accepted concept that peoples who speak SAME language logically belong to SAME NATION - everywhere in the world except in your isolated minds, is acepted the second fact - that Bosnians, Serbs and Croatians are also SAME people. So, please don't contaminate this popular pages of wikipedia with your miserable and dying propaganda, because it was, it is and it will forever be a senseless garbage. Lately wikipedia was cleaned form intoxicators like you, and it will stay that way. Your propaganda and all the last remaints of it will be out of every serious educator's system soon untill it's completely dead.

- Note the "Germans" in Austria are identified by language, not by the Austrian ethnic-nationality differing from that of Prussia or "Germany" and Bavaria at the time. About 24 other ethnic minorities were known to reside in the Austro-Hungarian empire in which was due to fail and disband after the first World War (1914). + 71.102.7.77 (talk) 01:07, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
There's a minor problem with ethnic groups in Tyrol. The Ladin speaking areas were simply marked as an Italian speaking ones. Understandingly, as the Ladin language group is quite small, too small to mark it seperately in the map. I suggest you hachure the area in some way. Because of the complex history of the region it's just not okay when those areas are exclusively depicted as Italian ones. It's just a minor problem but the whole map could lead up to misunderstandings in correlation to the articles. Thank you! 80.180.27.221 (talk) 02:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
