Historically Austrians were regarded as ethnic Germans and viewed themselves as such. Austria was part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation until its ending in 1806 and had been part of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 separate German-speaking countries. Naming practices are typically German. Considerable groups of Turkish, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, Hungarian, and other ethnic groups usually follow naming traditions of their own cultures. | Historically, Austrians were regarded as '''ethnic Germans''' and viewed themselves as such.
