Resumen biográfico |
There are around 120 million speakers of German in 8 nations around the world. German is not simply native to Germany: it is the official or co-official language in Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol in Italy, part of Belgium, and Luxembourg. Low German (Niederdeutsch or Plattdeutsch) is spoken in the low-lying area of northern Germany. Low German also made its way across the oceans to the USA, Canada, and Brazil with the Mennonites when they left Germany to prevent religious pressure. In other words, German is a sought after language globally due to the fact that its Vaterland is a favoured country. |
