— fern, Why German Sounds So Aggressive

The German language, abbreviated as De, is a West Germanic language in the Indo-European language family, mainly spoken in Western and Central Europe. This language is the most spoken native language within the European Union.

The main countries that speak German would be Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland and they all have German as an official language. Other countries could include Belgium and Luxembourg, because they also have German as an official language, but have their own languages as well.

German has very long words, because they are basically a whole sentence mashed together (this is known as non noun-cluster).

This language stole Latin's letters to be read easily.

Geschichte (History)

The first recordings of Germanic languages come from the 1st century BC, from the Roman Empire's interaction with the Germanic peoples.

Gesprochene Orte (Locations Spoken In)

Germany is the largest German-speaking country, where Standard German (Hochdeutsch) is the official language. Nearly 100 million people in Germany speak German as their native language, making him the most populous German-speaking nation. It makes sense, cause yknow, "Germany" and "German"…

Grammatik und Rechtschreibung (Grammar & Spelling)

German is known for his complex grammar, including a strong system of inflection, four noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, and dative), and three grammatical genders ( masculine, feminine, and neuter). German vocabulary includes many compound words and a rich array of dialects varying by region. His alphabet uses the Latin script with the addition of the character "ß" (Eszett or sharp S) and umlauted vowels (ä, ö, ü).

All noun's first letters are capitalized (For example: Pferd (horse), Hund (dog), Katze (cat).

Sometimes, verbs are to be used at the end of sentence.

Kulturelle Auswirkungen (Cultural Impact)

German is the most widely spoken native language in the European Union and has significant cultural and historical importance, influencing many fields such as philosophy, literature, science, and music.

In der Popkultur (In Pop Culture)

German sounds very aggressive to most people, due to the language's spellings, accents, and Hitler's influence from his speeches. This has been popularized through pop culture, where German is often portrayed in stereotypically harsh or militaristic contexts, especially in memes, films, television, and video games. Plus, movie industries' portrayal of German characters, especially in WWII-related content, has reinforced the association of the language with authoritarianism or aggression.
