Vyskov is an ancient bishop town lying in the Gate Vyskov on the upper reach of the Hana River. The continual settlement of this area as far back as the older Stone Age can be proved on the basis of archaeological finds. We have no written records about the earliest history of the town, but its attractive location on the crossroad of trade routes, leading from Brno to Olomouc and Kromeriz, reveals its early origin.

The article creates the impression that the Germans who once lived around Vyškov are the defining attribute of the town. This is misleading. Vyškov is an integral part of the Haná region. The people speak the dialect and occasionally wear the traditional costumes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.146.1.10 (talk) 01:54, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and I'm quite lost reading this article, hence my cleanup-section tag. What period is all this "Southern German" stuff talking about, for a start, and why is it so important? - filelakeshoe (t / c) 10:18, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting all reference to German settlers is not appropriate. Yes, by now, the town has been ethnically cleansed, but the history must be told. --Tino Cannst (talk) 15:48, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tino Cannst: I removed all the content which was unsourced for more than 4 years not only because it was unsourced and I was not able to verify it, but because most of the content was related to the countryside of Vyškov District and not to the town of Vyškov. The German-speaking enclave known as Vyškov Language Island was formed by eight villages south of Vyškov. FromCzech (talk) 08:09, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update: To satisfy you, I added a mention of Vyškov Language Island to each municipality concerned. FromCzech (talk) 09:45, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
