It is a Gemanic language so it is related to German, but also Dutch and it also has lesser influences from other languages, such as French.
The German word for "languages" is "Sprachen."
That's from other languages, related to 'How late is it?'.
German, Dutch and English are West Germanic languages.
German, English
The umlaut is used in languages such as German, Swedish, and Finnish to indicate a change in the pronunciation of a vowel. It is also used in languages such as French and Hungarian for specific purposes related to pronunciation or phonetics.
German and English are both Germanic languages, which means they share a common ancestor language. They have similar grammar structures and vocabulary due to their historical connection.
Some languages that are derived from the German language include Dutch, Afrikaans, Yiddish, and Luxembourgish. These languages evolved from different historical and geographical contexts, but have roots in the Germanic language family and share similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and syntax with German.
Languages similar to German are the other germanic languages, namely: Danish, Dutch, English (and Scotts), Frisian, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish. Also, Luxembourgish is sometimes considered a separate language.The modern germanic languages are divided in two categories, the North Germanic and the west Germanic branches. North Germanic are the scandinavian languages (Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish) and West Germanic are Dutch, English, Frisian and German; wich means that Englsih itself is one of the closest languages to German!Also, Germany (and the other German speaking countries) have lots of dialects (regional languages) wich range in proximty to the other germanic languages. Standart German is considered part of the High German languages, wich means the ones developed in the high lands closer to the Alps, those languages are somewhat more distant to Englsih, Dutch, etc. The northern dialects (usually called Low German or Low Saxon) are much closer to Dutch, wich is usually considered an intermediate between German and Englsh.

German and Dutch are related, but they are still two different languages. Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands and the Flemish part of Belgium, German is spoken in Germany, Austria, parts of Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. I´m German and personally I think that Dutch sounds a lot like the dialect they speak in the Northern parts of Germany. For a German person it`s not very hard to understand Dutch (even without speaking the language), because it`s phonetics are related to the German language (like i said, one could easily associate it with a German dialect). Vice versa it might be similar. Anyway, I noticed that there often seems to be a misunderstanding. A lot of people seem to confuse Dutch with German or they think it`s the same. Maybe it`s because the German word for "German" is "Deutsch", which sounds like "Dutch". In fact, the words "Dutch" and "Deutsch" have a same origin - to learn about that, you should read about Germanic history. As a start I added a wikipedia-link below. In summary it can be said that Dutch and German are related, though they are two different languages. They both have their origin in the Germanic languages, like many other Northern European languages, too. By the way, English is also a Germanic language.
Germany does not use the Cyrillic alphabet, Russia does.
