Are Bavarians really part French? What about the Bayern language?

Question

What about the Prussians being part Polish?

they look similar. (both the Bavarians look some French and the Prussians look some Polish)

What about other regions of Germany or Austria?

Answer 1

Not French at all. In Bayern they speak a dialect of the German language, there is no such thing as a Bayern language anymore than there is an American or Australian language. The former state of Prussia is today part of Germany, Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Denmark, Belgium, Czech Republic. For further details, you could check Wikipedia for Bayern and Prussia.

Answer 2

Actually, it's more that the French may be part-Bavarian... We were invaded by tribes from all over Germany during the dark ages, but we never invaded Bavaria (except maybe Napoléon), much less left sizeable populations there. Bavarian take no elements from French either.

As for Polish mixing into Prussians... that's much more likely. The former German state of Prussia borders on Poland (just look at where Berlin is on a map of Europe), and Eastern Prussia (where the actual Prussian people came from) is actually part of Poland even today, the part that is not in Lithuania.

Also remember that the Prussians originally were a Baltic people, much like Lithuanians and Latvians, and that Poland and Lithuania were part of the same country for centuries.

Answer 3

All Europeans are a mixture of different ethnicities and nationalities. Like every other European people, all Prussians have some Slavic and French blood as well as some Jewish ancestry.
