Is my mother ''German'' actually Germanised Slovenian?

[Jana]

She should be around 30% German, however she doesn't score any, not on FTDNA, not on DNA Land, not on gedmatch where she is little south from me.
One minor part of her German ancestry is from Alsace, and the biggest chunk (Danube Swabian) isn't known. My uncle claims it's from Austria.

Could their German ancestry be mostly Germanised Slovenian and that is why she scores like she does, and I get huge amount of Slovenian on 23andme.
My father is 1/8 NW Croat, but my eastern Euro/Slovenian chunk is far too large to be explained by that only.

On G25 I am came cloest to Slovenian minority from NE Italy.

I would add my and hers mtdna does seem very Germanic though, but autosomal absolutely not.

Post K36 results. Maybe it will be helpful for her.

How much of her ancestry is from Alsace? Swabians from Swabia aren't genetically East-Central Euro like Austrians. But it's possible that Danube Swabian is a catch all phrase for Germans of many different backgrounds and it was genetically EE in her case.

you should test her with 23andme. As you saw in case of Ljubic, no other test or calculator showed anything German or NW Euro for him, I explained why and with example. So those ftdna, g25 and gedmatch results are irrelevant.

Danube schwabians are south germans predominantly

The DNA tests are largely for entertainment purposes. I wouldn't trust them for anything.
