Current Situation
There are currently approx 8,300 people in former Yugoslavia who acknowledge some German heritage. Many residents actively practice their German cultural heritage, and some still speak the local form of the German dialect, Shwovish. This dialect is a mixture of old German from the eighteenth century with many Magyar, Serbian, and Croatian words, similar to what was spoken in Yugoslavia before the Second World War.
