Volk

This article is about English-language usage of a German word. For people with the surname, see Volk (surname). For English word for populace, see Folk. For other uses, see Volk (disambiguation).

Dem Deutschen Volke (lit. 'To the German People'), the dedication on the Reichstag building in Berlin

The German noun Volk (German pronunciation: [fɔlk]) translates to people, both uncountable in the sense of people as in a crowd, and countable (plural Völker) in the sense of a people as in an ethnic group or nation (compare the English term folk).

Within an English-language context, the German word is of interest primarily for its use in German philosophy, as in Volksseele ("national soul"), and in German nationalism – notably the derived adjective völkisch ("national, ethnic").
