Talk:Transylvanian Saxons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Where are the historical figures concerning Saxon population from 1910 onwards taken from? In 1910, there were not 800.000 Saxons in Transylvania, but only 234.000 according to the official census.

[edit] Immigrate, emigrate

I replaced "immigrated" with "emigrated." One who leaves one's homeland emigrates, one who enters a country with the object of becoming a permanent resident immigrates. Sca 22:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I was taught it was "immigrate to" and "emigrate from". In this case, it would be "Numerous Saxons have immigrated to Germany from Transylvania" or "Numerous Saxons have emigrated from Transylvania to Germany". Olessi 17:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Stimmt, mein Freund, aber: It depends in part on the narrative point of view. In this case, we are speaking from the point of view of Transylvania; consequently, the Saxons are leaving, so one must say, "Numerous Saxons have emigrated to Germany" — in which "from Romania" is understood or implied.
