What stance should be adopted if someone moves from a region to another? If an American from the North (Yankee) moves to live in the South (Dixie)? If a German from Schleswig-Holstein moves to Bavaria? It's better to keep the ancestral (native) culture alive, or to adapt to the culture of the region? What should the children be raised as?
I'm curious about this from a personal point of view also. Because if I move to Germany or to Austria, there is no Transylvanian Saxon state there, and personally I've a preference to keep my culture alive. However, I've been advised by some peoples that it's not a good idea, and it's better to adapt and raise my children according to the culture of the region I'll move to. Not to teach them the version of German spoken by my ancestors in Transylvania, but the one in Germany and the specific region. What's your view anyhow?
