Czechization

Czechization (Czech: čechizace) is a term used to describe a cultural change in which something ethnically non-Czech is made to become Czech.[citation needed] The term is commonly used especially in relation to Germans and Poles; in smaller extent it also applies to the Slovaks and Ruthenians (Rusyns).[citation needed]

Czechization in Germany

"In June 1905, the German language paper Bohemia of Prague reported Czechization in Saxony, Germany after a great influx of Czech workers had Czechified the town of Ostritz.[1] According to Saxon officials the reports were greatly exaggerated.[1] They conceded that while Czech speakers in Saxon communities were fewer than popularly supposed, they were nevertheless worth watching."[1]
