Summary/Abstract: This article aims to retrace a brief sociolinguistic panorama of the Austrian colonization in the Banat in the Enlightenment, proposing a light on its origins, and especially on the territorial peculiarities, socio-professional and motivational of Alsatian/Lorraine emigration. Highlighting the multilingual character of its representatives, the characteristics of their original languages or linguistic varieties, their linguistic repertoire and a first synoptic table of the languages potentially practiced in colonial Banat will retrace the contours of the ethno-sociolinguistic landscape of the Austrian province.
