Live tour guide
The German language is a West Germanic language primarily spoken in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Belgium (excluding the german-speaking part), parts of Italy, France, and other neighboring countries. It is one of the most widely spoken languages globally, with approximately 100 million native speakers worldwide. The standard German language is based on the dialects spoken in Frankfurt am Main, while its written form follows the rules set by the German Academy for Sciences. The German language has several dialects, including High German (Standard German) and Low German/Low Saxon, which differ significantly from each other and from Standard German. Additionally, there are numerous regional varieties of German, such as Bavarian, Alemannic, and Saxon, which further complicate communication within the country. The history of the German language dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was heavily influenced by Latin and other languages due to its role as an official language during the Holy Roman Empire. Over time, it evolved into its current form, characterized by its complex grammatical structure, extensive vocabulary, and various forms of pronunciation. In conclusion, the German language remains a vital component of European culture, with significant cultural, political, and economic influence across Europe and beyond.
