Live tour guide

The German language is spoken by millions of people worldwide as their native or secondary language. It is an official language in several countries including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of Italy, Poland, and the Czech Republic. The Germanic family of languages includes other related languages such as Dutch, Frisian, and Yiddish. The standard written form of German uses the Latin alphabet with some additional characters like umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and diacritical marks (ß). The German language has 26 letters in its basic alphabet but these are supplemented by umlauted vowels and special characters depending on the region. German literature spans from ancient times to modern day and features renowned authors such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Albert Einstein. The country also boasts rich cultural heritage through traditional festivals like Oktoberfest and Christmas markets. In terms of pronunciation, German words can sound quite different from English due to various phonetic rules and vowel shifts. For example, "Schadenfreude" means enjoyment derived from others' misfortunes in German, which translates literally to "to enjoy the damage."
