South Jutlandic
Approximately 15,000 people in Denmark belong to an autochthonous ethnic German minority traditionally referred to as "hjemmetyskere" meaning "domestic Germans" in Danish, and as "Nordschleswiger" in German. This minority of Germans hold Danish citizenship and self-identify as ethnic Germans. They generally speak German or Low German alongside South Jutlandic dialect of Danish as their home languages. Furthermore, there are also several thousand German immigrants residing in Denmark with no historical connection to this group.
