turns out the #1 foreign language EVERY single state in the US before 1965 spoken in the household was German. Then it turned to Spanish.

Huge swathes of the midwest were also settled by German pioneers. It's why we have German place names all over the place.

Learning German would be preferable to having to deal with the hoards of illiterate ebonics tier Spanish speakers running around the US now or the jeet speak call center retards that speak "English".

The reason everyone would talk German is because Germany was the peak of technology, science and culture, and it would have become a second language in Europe. I wouldn't trust Americans to learn a second language though, they already seem to struggle with 1.

Although in the context of not learning German and instead being invaded by the trash mudpeople of the world, America *is* kind of relevant.

Everyone would be speaking German because it would become the trade language if Germany came out on top. Hitler didnt want a global empire, but he did want to emulate great britain to a certain extent and colonize and trade.

German isn't even that bad to learn. It was kinda fun to see where a bunch of weird one off terms from English come from.

Like gang plank. It's a passageway off a ship. Gang means passageway.

Brand is related to fire and it makes sense one would 'brand' their cattle and from that came to mean a mark of distinction for marketing purposes.

Not just one-offs, the entire fucking language. If you compare old English to Frisian, (sometimes) Danish, or Dutch, you can pretty quickly peace together how we figured out where English people came from (The Angles, a part of low lying land in Northern Germany up to the Netherlands and Denmark.)

Even the French origin words are heavily germanicized (And French is pretty celticized for a romance language!), meaning that British people are what happens when a Dane and a Gaul have a kid

English is just German miscegenated with Latin.

[To the amateur ear.](https://youtu.be/OU43pjpmNtA?si=yANDjjH3ThZgoOTL)

It feels like proto-english on the tongue.

Maybe when sung. Listening to regular conversations is ear rape and should be prosecuted.

Its just a hideous language like hindi or turkish, african languages etc

I've always found German quite beautiful and pleasant to listen to. French makes my skin crawl and Spanish (as spoken in Spain) sounds low-class. all nice peoples I'm sure.
