Falsifiers caught red-handed[edit]
The source for the 1900 census figures from the "Croatian Information Center" http://www.hic.hr/books/seeurope/008e-srsan.htm#top reads:
- According to Revai Lexicon (Volume II, p. 587) 1900, in the district of Branjin Vrh (southern Baranja, Croatian Baranja) there were 47, 470 inhabitants. They include:
- Hungarians 17,325 (35.0%),
- Croatians 11,198 (23.6%),
- Germans 12,324 (26.0%),
- Serbians 5,873 (12.4%),
- Others 750 ( 1.5%)
The pdf of the same book Revai Lexicon online reads quite differently http://mek.oszk.hu/06700/06758/pdf/revai02_3.pdf retrieved from http://mek.oszk.hu/06700/06758/pdf/ reads quite differently in the table at the bottom right corner of pdf page 77/313 (p. 587 of the original book):
46,470 inhabitants in all:
15,628 of the Magyar tongue,
19,810 of the German tongue,
3,467 of the Croatian tongue,
7,089 of the Serbian tongue,
9,048 others (presumably mostly Sokac).

Statistics on Croats and Sokci[edit]
A lot of the Hungarian statistics are inadequately or misleadingly presented. First of all Hungarian statistics did distinguish not only Serbian from Croatian but also the Sokci as well. Furthermore the Royal Yugoslav (1921, 1931) statistics did not. Interesting to note that the opposite is presented, with the support of a broken link. I will try to remedy the situation with both valid links and sources. For starters the 1910 Hungarian census starting from this http://kt.lib.pte.hu/cgi-bin/kt.cgi?konyvtar/kt06042201/0_0_4_pg_2.html (press on "következõ oldal" to proceed further). --Igor82 (talk) 21:37, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
