Zipser Germans

The Zipser Germans or Zipsers (German: Zipser, Romanian: Ţipţeri, Hungarian: Cipszer) are a German-speaking (specifically Zipser German-speaking) ethnic group which developed in the Zips region of Upper Hungary—what is now Slovakia—as that region was settled by people from central Germany beginning in the 13th century. Beginning in at least the 18th century, many members of the ethnic group migrated to northern Romania, including to southern Bukovina and to Maramuresch and Transylvania.

During and after the Second World War, most Zipsers evacuated or were expelled to Germany. A community of speakers remains in the Zips town of Chmeľnica (Hopgarten) (their distinctive dialect is called "Outzäpsersch", German: "Altzipserisch", literally "Old Zipserish"), and others remain in Romania where they and other German-speaking groups are currently represented by the Democratic Forum of Germans in Romania (DFDR).
