German diaspora

Uncommon card · No. 114337

The German diaspora consists of both German citizens who have emigrated recently from Germany, and groups living outside of Central Europe, who are seen as having German heritage. The second of these categories includes groups whose forbears were German speakers, but did not necessarily live in Germany, who are therefore often "German" in a sociolinguistic sense rather than a national one. They can descend from migrant groups who lived in diverse regions with different cultural practices or languages.
