    Default Who looks more alike: Austrians and Italians or Ukrainians and Romanians?

    Both divides are quite sharp relative to the fact they are neighbouring European countries, so which is it?

    Ukrainians et Romanians, IMO.
    If you see a post in red font made by my username, that means that it is Pompey's post, not mine.

    No such thing. All Austrians are ethnic Germans.

    To say 'by far' is rather an exaggeration, isn't it?

    Not really. They share a similar landscape, the Alps, which are a major European geographical feature; Veneto, Venezia-Friulia-Giulia and Lombardia were part of the Austrian Empire; many dishes that exist in Austrian cuisine have counterparts in North Italy; some words in Venetian (probably Lombard too) are of Germanic origin; there are German-speaking communities in Trentino and Veneto (The Seven Communities); both are Roman Catholic; part of the Tyrol, the most famous part of Austria, is literally Italian territory.
