France, since the people of this region are now and have been for centuries loyal to France.

They are Germans upon which has been imposed French language, now unluckily most of them speak French and their original language is slowly dying. Only half of Alsatian population can speak Alsatian, and only in northern areas of Lorena people still speak Alsatian-Franconian.

Independent. Germany should also split into several states.

Interesting. Foreigner is a Francophile who wants to see France grow (but not at the expense of Romanians/Moldovans). I am a Polonophile who wants to see Poland grow (but not at the expense of Dutch/Flemish).

Most were loyal to Germany 100 years ago, and they are ethnic Germans. Ethnicity is what really matters for borders.

Well Germany is already split into states, it is a federation not an unitary state.

OT: I think should remain part of France but France should do something more to preserve the cultural heritage of those lands, same for Corsica. France want to impose its language everywhere without respect.

What is this voting crap? Voting is for peasant Anglo-Saxons. Mary Queen of Scots house of Guise is historically in Lorraine and there is a cross of Lorraine in Scotland. Also, as far as I know British royalty possibly in conjunction with French Royalty perform illuminati occult rituals in Alsace France.

Here is a breakdown for you :

Germans = genetic turnip peasants

Anglo-Saxons = Dumb blonde peasant farmers.

Anglo-Norman, scoto-norman,Hiberno-Norman = Ruling class aristocracy.

Typical of French mentality

Since 1992, the constitution of the Fifth Republic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Fifth_Republic) states that French (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language) is the official language of the Republic. However, Alsatian, along with other regional languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_language), is recognized by the French government (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_government) in the official list of languages of France (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_France). France is a signatory to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Charter_for_Regional_or_Minority_Language s) but has never ratified the law and has not given regional languages the support that would be required by the charter. The policies of the Paris government have had the deliberate effect of greatly weakening the prevalence of native languages in France that are not "French." As a result, the Alsatian dialect of German has gone from being the prevalent language of the region to one in decline. A 1999 INSEE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INSEE) survey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_survey) counted 548,000 adult speakers of Alsatian in France (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France), making it the second most-spoken regional language in the country (after Occitan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occitan_language)). Like all regional languages in France, however, the transmission of Alsatian is on the decline. While 43% of the adult population of Alsace speaks Alsatian, its use has been largely declining amongst the youngest generations.
