German
Object 'German' belongs to the 'World Languages' theme.Connection to English:
English is a Germanic language, descended grammatically from the German mother tongue (though also heavily influenced by French and Latin, of course). The two languages share so many cognates that a native speaker of one can usually make out the basic gist of a text written in the other.
Connection to Spanish:German and Spanish share alphabets more or less, as well as a bunch of cognates, but otherwise they are fairly distant from one another.
Connection to French:German and French share alphabets more or less, as well as a bunch of cognates, but otherwise they are fairly distant from one another. French spelling is far more difficult and irregular than German, and the two phonologies are also pretty removed from one another.
