Compare with
badisch vs schwäbisch
Swabian
'schwäbisch' and 'badisch' both refer to regions in southwestern Germany, but to different regions. 'schwäbisch' belongs to Swabia and can also refer to the Swabian dialect. 'badisch' belongs to Baden, its people, its culture, or its dialect. The words are easy to confuse because Baden and Swabia are geographically close to each other and both are often connected with Baden-Württemberg. For people from the region, the difference is important. So you should not simply use both words for the same place.

schwäbisch
