Cimbrian Language
Cimbrian (, ; ; ) is any of several local Upper German varieties spoken in parts of the Italian regions of Trentino and Veneto. The speakers of the language are known as in German. Cimbrian is a Germanic language related to Bavarian most probably deriving from a Southern Bavarian dialect. It is also related to the Mòcheno language. Its many essential differences in grammar as well as in vocabulary and pronunciation make it practically unintelligible for people speaking Standard German, being problematic even for many people speaking Bavarian. The use of Italian throughout the country and the influence of nearby Venetian have both had large effects on the number of speakers of Cimbrian throughout past centuries. This effect has been large enough to cause Cimbrian to be deemed an endangered language. History The earliest record of the movement of Bavarians to Verona dates to ca. 1050 ( Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Cod. lat. 4547). The settlement continued during the 11th ...

Prince-Bishopric Of Freising
The Prince-Bishopric of Freising (German: ''Hochstift Freising'') was an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire from 1294 until its secularisation in the early years of the 19th century. The Prince-Bishopric of Freising should not be confused with the diocese of Freising, which was considerably larger and over which the prince-bishop's authority was that of an ordinary bishop and therefore limited to spiritual and pastoral matters. Geography While the prince-bishopric's territory was comparatively small, it was very fragmented and its lands were dispersed over a wide area, from central Bavaria and Tyrol in the west to Austria, Styria and Carniola in the east (see map). In 1800, the 15,000 subjects of the Prince-Bishop lived in the following areas: * Immediate lordships: ** the City of Freising on the Isar river, located about north of Munich, with a population of approximately 4,000 (as of 1800 AD) ** the adjacent County of Ismaning (also called ''Yserrain'' ...
