message: Wasn't Charlemagne's family from Austrasia? i.e. the area of Metz, Cologne, Herstal, Cambrai, and Tournai? I thought that was pretty clear. Am I missing something?24.5.248.233 (talk) 22:28, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Charlemagne?

message: Rather scarce, I guess, compared to the German version of it. Also, is there any order to the famous people listing? The two last entries suggest a somewhat chronological order... Ub 16:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Famous people

message: It is very important to notice that "Swabia" (Schwaben) is just a part of Baden-Württemberg. The culture of Baden and Schwaben are different(The Swabians are none to be very keen, to clean the street every Sunday, etc.). And some people in Baden don't like to be called "Schwaben".

replies: text: Some Swabians are into the "Celtic revival" movement, due to the increasing notion the Celtic peoples' homeland might be in Southern Germany (Swabia is located there). The Swabii are considered a "Germanic" people, but some scholars contend that some Celto-Roman elements from the 5th century AD to as late as 12th century AD were preserved in the valleys and alpine regions of Bavaria and Alemannic (German-speaking) Switzerland, including Swabia which borders the two areas. The Swabians are without doubt a "High German" culture, but you have a small vocal minority who insisted their uniqueness may be a Celtic trait that hasn't disappeared as their Celtic roots was merged with the neighboring High German tribes. + 71.102.53.48 (talk) 11:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Sorry but i think there are mistakes in the lemma: 
the country of baden-würrtemberg consists of three old counties. 1. kingdom swabia  (Königreich Schwaben) 2. Baden (Großherzogtum Baden) and 3. Hohenzollern Province (Hohenzollernsche Lande -> Preußen.  --PogoEngel (talk) 23:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Swabia ist not [[Baden-Württemberg]]

message: Not to turn this article into a rant or "expose" on expulsions, but there is far too little on the expulsions/ethnic cleansings (according to Norman Naimark of Stanford) of the Swabians who settled eastward. They did not "settle in Kazakhstan" until they were all expelled there. Further, most who ended up in Kazakhstan were not Danube Swabian, but a separate community in Russia, particularly the Volga Germans.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.212.117 (talk) 07:55, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  more on expulsions 

message: This section appeared. It is pejorative, indeed, and completely lacking in citation. If anyone does have proper citation, then feel free to cut and paste it back with proofs befitting a scholarly work. LTC (Ret.) David J. Cormier (talk) 12:50, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I don't think that "colloquially Schwabenland or Ländle" is relevant to the English Wikipedia. If you agree, please remove this from the introduction. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 19:01, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Schwabenland or Ländle 

message: Differentiating ancient "germanic" groups is really hard.
Before my change the introduction said "Suebi" and "Allemanni" are two names for the same group, which is clearly false, but how I formulated it, is also not completely true and reading it may result in a wrong imagination.
It would be nice, if either the Introduction gets reformulated to bypass the problem, or we find someone with true expertise in the field and the language skill to compress the suebian allemannic connection into one subclause. Naivling (talk) 18:42, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the new formulation "the tribe alliances named allemanni and suebi is open enough to include all theories about the relation of allemanni and suebi at any point in time and more precise information should be left to be explained in the corresponding linked articles.
