!!!Angleichung

Assimilation (German: Angleichung, literally "harmonisation" or 
"making the same"): Individuals who live permanently of for 
prolonged periods among people belonging to a different ethnic group 
tend to assimilate (mostly in the second generation) with their 
environment in respect of language, customs and cultural attitudes 
even if they continue to speak their original vernacular and uphold 
the customs of their country of origin. In Austria, the period after 
1900 saw the assimilation of many persons of different nationalities 
who had immigrated into Austria (Czechs, Hungarians) and of members of 
minority groups (Croats, some Slovenes). In recent years, the 
assimilation of the children of guest workers resident in Austria has 
been noticeably increasing.
