It forms part of the Germanic language branch which sprouted many other European languages such as Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic and even English.

There are 100 million speakers of German located in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other countries of central Europe.
What German language issues do I need to watch out for?
A number of key issues present themselves with German - not least the great number of dialects spoken in and around Germany based on German. Fortunately, in a written sense, Hochdeutsch or mainstream German remains the most significant. The major technical issues for search marketers include the alternate characters - which may replace accented words - and the conflicts caused by the spelling reform of 2000.
