Upper Swabian dialect of Satu Mare, Romania From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sathmar Swabian (endonym: Schwǫbisch, Romanian: Șvabă sătmăreană or dialectul șvăbesc sătmărean, Hungarian: szatmári sváb)[1] is an Upper Swabian dialect of High German spoken in Romania in Satu Mare (German: Sathmar) and Satu Mare County, north-western Transylvania by the Sathmar Swabians (German: Sathmarer Schwaben),[2] who are among the few Danube Swabians who are in fact truly Swabian in origin. Many speakers now live in Germany but some remain in northwestern Transylvania, Romania, more specifically in Satu Mare County (German: Kreis Sathmar).
