@litelinguistics: German is younger* than the US! Germany used to have a variety of different German languages before they unified into the Standard German we know and tolerate today. #creatorsearchinsights #germanlanguage #learnhistoryontiktok #tiktokmademelearnit #reformationday

The Dutch national anthem (the oldest in the world) even springs of “being of German blood”. The term was vague until the 19th century

Another interesting (and strong) influence on Standard German are pronounciation guides for actors, in fact that's where 'the bit of a northern accent' comes from, the definitive one 'der Siebs' was written by a Northern professor

no bro, these 3 are areas of sound shifts. the languages are going by tribes: frankish, saxon, aleman, frisian, bavarian. even though in the middle ripuarian (middle-west) and saxon (middle east) are not even remotely similar.

I was under the impression Nordic languages along with English are / were related to 'High German', but based on the video it seems 'High' meant elevation (i.e. elevation towards the Alps) or Southern. I feel like I have something backwards here. Am I thinking of Northern 'Low' German in the context of northern linguistic evolution?

The term Germany has its roots in 2 Roman provinces, which were established 2 thousand years ago. A linguist might argue with the language, what German is, but there is more to be considered.
