Английская Википедия:Germans in Czechoslovakia (1918–1938)
The German-speaking population in the interwar Czechoslovak Republic, 23.6% of the population at the 1921 census,[1] usually refers to the Sudeten Germans, although there were other German ethno-linguistic enclaves elsewhere in Czechoslovakia (e.g. Hauerland or Zips) inhabited by Carpathian Germans (including Zipser Germans or Zipser Saxons), and among the German-speaking urban dwellers there were ethnic Germans and/or Austrians as well as German-speaking Jews. 14% of the Czechoslovak Jews considered themselves Germans in the 1921 census, but a much higher percentage declared German as their colloquial tongue during the last censuses under the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[2]
Carpathian Germans and Sudeten Germans
The terms Carpathian Germans and Sudeten Germans are relatively recent and were not traditionally used in the past. The former was coined by historian and ethnologue Шаблон:Interlanguage link in the early 20th century. The latter was coined in 1904 by journalist and politician Шаблон:Interlanguage link and was used mostly after 1919.
Historical settlements
There were several subregions and towns with German-speaking absolute or relative majorities in the interwar Czechoslovakian Republic.

In Bohemia and Moravia (present-day Czech Republic), there were German Bohemians (Deutschböhmen, Čeští Němci) and German Moravians (Deutschmährer, Moravští Němci), as well as German Silesians, in e.g. the Hlučín Region (part of Czech Silesia but formerly part of the Austrian Silesia Province before Seven Years' War in 1756).
In Slovakia there were two German-speaking enclaves in Hauerland and Spiš. In the Austro-Hungarian Szepes County (Spiš), there were according to censuses 35% Germans in 1869, 25% in 1900 and 1910. There was also a relative German-language majority in the border city of Pressburg/Bratislava: 59.9% at the 1890 census, 41.9% in 1910, 36% in 1919, 28.1 in 1930, 20% in 1940.[4]
There were also two linguistic enclaves in Subcarpathian Ruthenia (present-day Ukraine).

| German | 14.26 | 12.28 |
