The flag shown in the article is NOT the flag of Austria-Hungary. It is the common merchant ensign (well, not entirely, two coat of arms have to be added). The Austrian-Hungarian monarchy didn't have a common national flag. Each of the two entities had their own one. There was just a common merchant, marine and war ensign (see for further details) ] 19:42, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC) |

== Language of the article == |

The state of English in this article is frequently poor. I see the article contains no facility to edit, which I would gladly do but cannot, therefore I would recommend that an educated, fluent native speaker of standard English checks the article thoroughly and makes the required amendments. One silly example 'The population was composed by about 2500 people ...' What on earth is 'was composed by'? The author means, of course, 'was composed of' or 'comprised'. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 22:05, 12 November 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== The current way the flag of Austria-Hungary is shown, as of 26/5/2024 == |
|
The book ''Österreich-Ungarn, Die Donaumonarchie in historischen Dokumenten, Salzburg 1984.'' (Austria-Hungary, The Danube Monarchy in historical documents) written by Alexander Sixtus von Reden states the following (translated from German): ''Common flags of both states (i.e. the Danube monarchy) were the red-white-red war and naval flag with a crowned shield of arms added (in use since 1786)'' (example: '''War Ensign of 1880-1915 (Kriegsflagge))''' in ) ''The common merchant flag is a combination of the war flag and the Hungarian flag supplemented with the small Hungarian coat of arms'' (example: '''Merchant Ensign, 1869-1918''' in ). |

While I appreciate the dedication to accuracy (and covering all of your bases,) whoever made the edit included the "military standard" of Austria-Hungary, unless I am mistaken, when they intended to include the flag of the Emperor and Empress. Furthermore, I don't believe showing the flag of the Emperor and Empress, or a military standard if that's what they wanted to do, is needed at all. The way I personally would represent Austria-Hungary in flags accurately would be to show the black and yellow Habsburg banner, over the flag of the Kingdom of Hungary, which is over the flag of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. If you see the way the article ] showcases both the flag of Hungary and Croatia, I would love to show this in a similar manner, just with 3 flags as the law in Transleithania required the flag of Hungary and Croatia be alongside each other or otherwise represented in the Hungarian diet and House of Magnates. If that is not possible, or not preferential, I would suggest merely showing the Habsburg banner of black and yellow and the "civil" flag of Hungary, without any coat of arms, as this was a common combination of flags to be flown contemporarily in the empire. Of course I would prefer flying the 3 flags, as by Transleithanian law Croatia-Slavonia had to be represented, and thus the flag of Hungary cannot suffice. If these changes cannot be made, I just suggest reverting back to showing the "see also ]," as it worked and prevented any discourse over it for the time it existed. Edit: It appears that it has been reverted back to the "see also ]." so this talk is essentially pointless unless you want to implement the changes I suggested. ] (]) 01:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC) |

== Status of the Slovene language (1882) == |
|
== Absolute Monarch? == |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Beginning in 1882, there was a Slovene majority in the Diet of Carniola and in the capital ]; they replaced German with Slovene as their primary official language." |
|
''Those two were linked by a government under a monarch wielding, in theory, absolute power, although in practice the power of the monarch was limited. The monarch’s common government was responsible for the army, navy, foreign policy, and the customs union.'' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are there any sources for that? I don't seem to find anything on that, also not in other languages on Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 20:54, 1 December 2024 (UTC) |
|
How accurate is the claim that the dual monarch held absolute power? What I've read elsewhere suggested that the monarch did in fact wield absolute power as Emperor of Austria, having authority (which was exercised on occasion) to suspend constitutional government and make law as an autocrat, his powers as King of Hungary were more limited by the Diet. ] 17:21, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC) |

== I made a flag == |
|
:Depends on what you mean by absolute power. In theory he did have the power to suspend the constitution and pass unilateral decrees. However, he almost always consulted fairly widely and respected the wishes of regional diets and politicians in both Hungary and Cisleithania because he knew that his powerbase was increasingly fragile. He wanted to ensure continued loyalty from the nationalities, many of whom saw him as their "defender" to some extent. I think that fits the bill for not using his absolute power in practice. |

== National anthem == |
|

|
|
|
The national anthem of Austria-Hungary was not ]. It had the same melody but different lyrics (''Gott erhalte, Gott beschütze, unsern Kaiser, unser Land...''). Additionally, I am not quite sure if the anthem was also the national anthem of the Hungarian part of Austria-Hungary. I try to find out. ] 10:39, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC) |

|
|
|
By the way, that's the German text of the anthem since 1854: |
|
|
|
|
|
1. Gott erhalte, Gott beschütze |
|
|
Unsern Kaiser, unser Land! |
|
|
Mächtig durch des Glaubens Stütze, |
|

Führ' er uns mit weiser Hand! |

2. Fromm und bieder, wahr und offen |

Laßt für Recht und Pflicht uns stehn; |

3. Was der Bürger Fleiß geschaffen |

Schütze treu des Kaisers Kraft; |

Siege Kunst und Wissenschaft! |

Segen sei dem Land beschieden |
|
|
Und sein Ruhm dem Segen gleich; |
|
|
|: Gottes Sonne strahl' in Frieden |
|
|
Auf ein glücklich Österreich! |
|
|
|
|
|
4. Laßt uns fest zusammenhalten, |
|
|
In der Eintracht liegt die Macht; |
|
|
Mit vereinter Kräfte Walten |
|
|
Wird das Schwere leicht vollbracht, |
|
|
Laßt uns Eins durch Brüderbande |

Gleichem Ziel entgegengehn |

5.An des Kaisers Seite waltet, |

Ihm verwandt durch Stamm und Sinn, |

:The Austrian National Anthem's words were changed to honour each emperor in turn, though using the same tune. The original 1797 version was Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser for Franz II. After he died in 1835 the new emperor Ferdinand's anthem began "Segen Öst'reichs hohem Sohne / Unserm Kaiser Ferdinand!" ("Blessings to Austria's high son / Our Emperor Ferdinand!"). After he abdicated in 1848, the original words were reinstated for Franz Josef for a few years before the 1854 version was introduced. Apparently they never had time to rewrite the words for emperor Karl in 1916... -- ] 22:28, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

: I figure it's local bias, people from areas that used to be part of the Kingdom of Hungary tend to refer to it like that because it may have been supremely Austrian but the Hungarians still had precedence/influence. Regardless, it is indicative that Transleithania was of the same size or larger than Cisleithania for at least 68 years before the Ausgleich (and after that they existed like that for 51 year). --] 01:12, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

Well, the Kingdom of Hungary was the Kingdom of Hungary from 1699. But that doesn't mean that "Austro-Hungarian Empire" is an appropriate term for the whole entity before 1867. ] ] 04:50, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

: You'd have to go through many of the articles to make sure the links are accurate.

Cisleithania/Transleithania is post-1867 terminology, isn't it? And did the Military Frontier still exist in 1856? At any rate, while the Military Frontier existed, it was administratively separate from Hungary, but my understanding was that it was still considered a part of the Kingdom of Hungary. ] ] 19:38, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
: I don't know about the timing of that terminology, I was merely trying to say that the Hungarian domain was noticably large before the creation of Austria-Hungary (indeed, that was one of the main reasons for the latter action). The Military Frontier was finally abolished only in 1881, so it had to have existed in 1856. I don't know whether the Austrians considered it part of KoH, but it was centrally administered by Austrian military leaders from Vienna, not Budapest, so I wouldn't go so far to say that it was a part of KoH. --] 20:52, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

I think we ought to create an article at ] which discusses the Habsburg agglomeration as it existed between 1526 and 1918, in order to avoid both incorrect usage of ] and a useless link to ].

As discussed above, there was no common national flag of Austria Hungary (the one shown in the box is therefore wrong).
