OK, thanks. But still on the basis of the lowest-level internal
boundaries then, of course, because you can't speak of "villages"
with a certain percentage of Germanophones if you don't have village
borders. Although with the forming of another linguistically defined
border (Flanders-Wallonia) some municipal boundaries _were_ altered.
I wonder how this census in 1938 was organised, who organised and
supervised it, and how reliable the outcome was, but I suspect that
the answer to that is pretty obvious...
