Population |
Germany, since is reunification, is populated by nearly 81,8 million and its demographic density is of 229 inhabitants by square kilometer; which makes it one of the most densely populated European countries.
The population of Germany was constituted primarily of German groups like Franconiens, the Saxons, the Souabes and the Bavarians. The populations of different Länder federates do not coincide today with older ethnos groups. Länders were mainly created only after the Second World war with the assistance of the occupational powers; the layout of the borders have generally hardly taken account of the traditions. Moreover, the current refugees and the significant migrations of the post-war period, show that the mobility of the modern industrial company more or less blurres the borders between the various ethnic groups.
Different character features have always been allotted to the various ethnic groups. Mecklembourgeois have thus the reputation to be closed, Souabes treasurers, Rhenishs "good to be alive" type people and Saxons were the veined ones. Traditional festivals are still popular because they are funny for the various groups of the German population.

Language spoken |
German is part of the generic group of Indo-Germanic languages. It is thus related to Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, as well as Dutch and Flemish, but also with English. The emergence of a common written language would have pleased Martin Luther.
Germany is rich in patois. The dialect and the pronunciation make it possible to recognize, for the majority of Germans, which area they are originating from. For example, if Clippings, Mecklembourgeois and Bavarian discussed in their respective dialect, they would have great difficulties of understanding each other.
