No, German is not a Romance language. It belongs to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family, along with English and Dutch, while Romance languages like French, Spanish, and Italian evolved from Latin.

Was Greek considered as an official US language?

Apparently this is similar to the "German Vote" urban legend The US does not have an official language and such a vote has never been held. According to the article above "...Congress considered a proposal, not to give German any official status, but merely to print the federal laws in German as well as English". Also "...in the 18th century there were rumors that a few Brit-bashing superpatriots campaigned to have the new nation drop English in favor of Hebrew, French, or Greek...". So it turns out that the 'Greek' reference in this German urban myth created another all new urban myth commonly believed in Greece. I have heard lots of people talk about it as if it were an undeniable fact: professors, authors, even my teacher in my elementary school in Greece. But we can safely say that the survival of this absolutely false story can be attributed merely to the ever prevailing Greek chauvinism.


Why are the Romance languages important?

The Romance languages are important because they form such a large branch of the Indo-European language family. One of them (French) also managed to heavily influence the development of English, making it the odd conglomerate language that it is today. The other reason Romance languages are important has to do with what the countries that speak them spent several centuries doing--most of the world that has ever been colonized speaks some Romance language. So the languages are in a position of political power thanks to the fact that so much of the world speaks them.


Where can one learn the German language online?

Learning any foreign language is a challenging task as well as it is time-consuming. If you are thinking to learn German, you must do good research before joining any institute. There are many booming institutes in Pune. It has been observed that most of them do not deliver what they promised initially. One of the best institutes for the German language in Pune which I come across is German Language Classes (GLC). • It is one of the best German classes in Pune which provides international Standard Study Material, which helps you to learn with ease. • They provide basic level (A1 & A2), intermediate level (B1 & B2), advanced level (C1 & C2) training. • They have highly qualified and knowledgeable trainers. • Additionally, the faculty members give personal attention to each student. • The team assists you with the high-quality content of the course and practical method of teaching. • The best part is, if you miss any session due to some unavoidable reason, they make sure to cover the syllabus for you. German Language Classes (GLC ) is a personally recommended option for you out there! Take your decision after attending their Free Demo session. Hope this helps. Thank you! Take care


How many languages do German people speak?

They speak mostly German however there are many different types of German but for the most part they break down into two main dialects which are High German and Low German.All the different types of German will fit into these two parent dialects. For example Standard German and Yiddish are both sub-divisions of High German. High German dialects are spoken in Central and Southern Germany.Low German also known as Low Saxon spoken in the Northern areas of Germanic Europe and is pretty much the parent language for Dutch and the Netherlands dialects.To be honest tracking down and understanding how many different versions of German there are can be maddening and then fitting them into their parent dialect (High or Low German) goes from maddening to down right insane but I hope I managed to give you some what the answer you were looking for.However Germans and Germanic people also tend to speak flawless English so if you ever go to Germany either take the time to learn to speak German fluently as the Germans like precision and perfection in speaking a language or just simply speak English which Germans love to show off their prowess in speaking.

Did the USA ever consider German as the national language?

There are stories to the effect that German was considered, but as far as I am aware they are urban legends. For example, how many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence had any knowledge of German? Additional Answer: About one third of the US' todays population has German roots, but the great majority of German immigrants came to the US during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. There may have already been a large number of German immigrants at that time, but by far less than English speaking people. As already said above, there is no certain proof or statement that German has ever been considered to be the national language of the US.
