<!--Although the historical language of Alsace is [[Alsatian language|Alsatian]], a Germanic language, today most Alsatians speak [[French language|French]], the official language of the country they have been a part of for most of the past three centuries. About 39% of the adult population, and probably less than 10% of the children, are fluent in Alsatian. There is therefore a substantial bilingual population in contemporary Alsace.<ref>[http://www.insee.fr/fr/insee_regions/alsace/rfc/docs/cpar12_1.pdf] "L'alsacien, deuxième langue régionale de France" Insee, ''Chiffres pour l'Alsace'' no. 12, December 2002</ref> The place names used in this article are in French.-->
