Banat - Batschka towns
Donauschwaben Batschka towns
One of the special problems encountered by researchers working in South Eastern Europe is the multiplicity of languages. It is not uncommon for a town or village to have names in three or more languages and sometimes there is more than one name in a single language as well.
The table below gives all the German, Serbian and Hungarian names for all the Donauschwaben colonies along with the year the colony was founded. This list is sorted by the most common German name for the town -- this isn't necessarily useful -- it just made sense to sort on something.
Following the table is an index which lists each and every town name in order regardless of which language it comes from. For the help of the English reader, the diacritical marks have been removed from the indexed entry in this list to permit unambiguous machine searches.
" indicates German umlaut or Hungarian double acute accent
' indicates Hungarian acute accent or Serbian acute accent (over "c" only)
^ indicates Serbian ha^cek before "c", "s" or "z" or cross before "d"
