		For example, in contrast to the Swiss and the Dutch who had already split off and shaped separate national identities, the German speaking Austrians (in contrast to the majority of Austrians who spoke other languages until 1918) used to consider themselves as ethnic Germans up to the 20th century.

		The first attempts to create a consciousness of the "Austrian nation" took place during the Napoleonic wars (including non-German speaking Austrians) and in the early 1930s, but without major effects.

	More Powers to Belgium's German Speaking Community? Europe Deutsche Welle 03.09.2002
		The leader of Belgium's German-speaking minority is ruffling feathers in a country long torn by language sensitivities by calling for a local referendum on the identity and future of the country's German speakers.

		Ever since, the local minister president of Eupen's German-speaking community, has been calling for a referendum that could determine its future.
