The region has been home to Germanics for over 2000 years and the German language was dominant there right up until the latter half of the 20th Century.
Jordan Lee
Both, i'm from alsace and I can tell you we have influence from both. I would say the eastern part is german and the northern is french. But due the germans are apes and i prefer french control.
Xavier Nelson
They're Jewish
Nathaniel Martin
Eh.
Western Germany was Romance speaking untill the XI century.
Mason Kelly

John Reed

Jayden Turner
They're Franco-German.
It's not either or, a middle ground also exists you numbskull.
Christopher Powell
Mostly Jewish desu. Also the normal people wouldn't care too much.

Allamannic German, but since WW1 they are getting pressured hard to assimilate to mainstream French. Likely they are the least protected and most pressured minority in Europe.

The entire post-Lotharingia region was always a clusterfucking mess which Franks fucked up.
You can't even tell anymore if they are french or german, just call them either both or just Alsatians.
The only solution was to make rhine river a border, just like Romans did and call it a day.

Actually come here and talk to people. No one wants to be german and we're perfectly fine being French. When I occasionally cross the border, I feel no kinship at all for the Germans. Some people might want more autonomy at most, but even then we kept a lot of things, in particular the Concordat. We were part of France long before being being part of any "German" state. And the Germans didn't exactly treat us well in the 40 years we were under them (thanks for the Haut-Koenigsbourg, though, loved that place when I was a kid).
If I had to choose between independence and being rattached to Germany, I say independence. Bring the Decapolis alliance back.
