The German Language
- German is natively known as Deutsch and belongs to the Indo-European, Germanic, West Germanic language family.
- There are approximately 95 million native, 130 million total speakers worldwide.
- German is the most widely spoken native language in the European Union and an official language of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Belgium.
- German is famous for its compound words, which can be of unlimited length; the longest word ever used in a law was Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetz (beef labelling supervision delegation law).
- There are significant differences between Standard German (Hochdeutsch), Austrian German, and Swiss German, each with distinct vocabulary, pronunciation, and conventions.
- German was the dominant language of science and philosophy until the mid-20th century, and many scientific terms remain German (Kindergarten, Zeitgeist, Angst, Wanderlust).
- The German spelling reform of 1996 (Rechtschreibreform) introduced significant changes to orthography, meaning pre-1996 and post-1996 documents may use different spellings.
- German migration to Australia is one of the oldest and largest non-English-speaking migration streams, dating back to the 1830s. Over 100,000 German-born residents live in Australia, with many more of German descent. The Barossa Valley in South Australia retains strong German heritage. Post-WWII migration was significant, and German clubs (Concordia, Tivoli) operate across the country.
