Zipser Germans
The Zipser Germans, Zipser Saxons, or, simply, just Zipsers (German: Zipser or Zipser Deutsche, Romanian: Țipțeri, Hungarian: Cipszer, Cipszerek, or Szepességi szászok, Slovak: Spišskí Nemci) are a German-speaking (more specifically Zipser German-speaking as native dialect) sub-ethnic group in Central-Eastern Europe, part of the German diaspora, and national minority in both Slovakia and Romania (there are also Zipser German settlements in the Zakarpattia Oblast, in the historical region of Carpathian Ruthenia, present-day western Ukraine). Along with the Sudeten Germans (German: Sudetendeutsche), the Zipser Germans were one of the two most important ethnic German groups in the former Czechoslovakia.
