Talk:List of medieval Gaue

Serbischen Gaue?
Currently offered on Ebay is a German-language atlas Atlas zur Geschichte der sächsischen Länder mit Einschluß der Schwarzburgischen und Reussischen Länder, by Tutzschmann, 1852. Shown in the Ebay page is a plate from it whose title is partly illegible but clearly includes "Serbischen Gaue". It shows the Gaue named in a language which looks to me more Slavic than German, e.g. "Zwikowe" for "Zwickau", a spelling that also appears (for the same Gau) in the first map in the article. I'm curious. I understand that at the date shown on the maps, the 11th century, Gaue of what is now Eastern Germany would have had largely Slavic populations speaking some Slavic language. But did Germans of the mid-19th century really call that language "Serbische"? Maproom (talk) 21:12, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * They may have, given that this is what the language calls itself. See Sorbian languages.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 09:54, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Reorganization of page
Not sure how many users are even watching this page, but I decided to be bold and restructure the page so it listed gaue by duchy rather than just alphabetically (which I figured could be accomplished simply with the 'find' tool in a web browse). Please let me know if you believe this is improper or there is a better way to organize the information, as I am new to Wikipedia. I am also in the process of trying to add citations to all of the gaue, as well as improve the descriptions (about 75% done already). I would like to look into possibly listing each sub-category's contents so it can be sorted, but will probably try and complete citations and descriptions first.
