Bewegte deutsche Familiennamen in Ungarn (original) (raw)
German proper names have a long history in Hungary: since the founding of the Hungarian state in the 10th century, the country has maintained lively linguistic and cultural contacts with the German-speaking area, resulting in a large, historically grown German-language proper name material in Hungary, in which above all anthroponyms and toponyms are represented.

Bewegte Namen im Varietätenspektrum und Sprachkontakt

Constellations of internal and external multilingualism prove to be a rich source for structural adaptation processes and the emergence of onymic variants.
