No doubt you have heard the expression, "Germanic family of languages". Allow me to list them.

• German
• Dutch
• Norweigian
• Swedish
• Icelandir
• Danish

This is the official roster of the "family" but there are also some minor members of dialects. Some of these are Pennsylvania Dutch, Yiddish, Flanish, Frisian, Afrikaans, and Schweizer-Deutsch. German is one of the most easily recognizable tongues in all the world, and is spoken by many millions in Europe, as well as North and South America. The West Germanic branch not only includes German, but Dutch and English as well. The Scandanavian branch lists such tongues as Swedish, Norweigian, and Danish. The third branch of the Germanic family of languages is the Eastern branch which was represented long ago by the Gothic tongue, now extinct.

The earliest written record of German comes down to us from the Catholic Bishop Ulfilas, some seventeen hundred years ago. He was responsible for the Gothic translation of the Bible. The family of German languages appear rather late in history, not because they were not spoken earlier, but rather because the written records are absent. Bishop Ulfilas's work is the oldest known, and is a very old example of making the Bible available in the vernacular.

Tuetonic languages, which were examples of very early Germanic began to appear after the sixth century A.D. Some familiar examples of these are, Anglo-Saxon, from which modern English was born; Old Franconian, which became Dutch; and Old High German, the ancestor of modern German. From the eighth century forward, it becomes much easier to trace the history of the various Germanic languages, because the written record is rich.

You might be surprised to learn that there are various dialects in German. It is, after all, spoken the world over, by many millions of people in different climates and surroundings. In the coastal areas, sounds of some words resemble Dutch or English. Well defined High German dialects are prevalent in Bavaria, Switzerland, and Austria. Yiddish goes back to the German Jewish settlements during the Middle Ages.

Would it not be wonderful to sit down and read "Fraust" in its original form? How about to hear Wagner's "Lohengrin" at the Opera and be able to understand it? Is there anything more beautiful than the Christmas hymn "Silent Night" sung in its original German? Better still, would it not be even better if you could converse in German?
