 | | German is the language of Germany and Austria, and one of the languages of Switzerland (along with French, Italian, and Romansch, a minor Romance language). |
 | | German is a Western Germanic language, and evolved from the same language as English, Dutch, Yiddish, and a few other minor languages. |
 | | Germanic, in turn, is part of Indo-European, along with Balto-Slavic (such Lithuanian and Russian), Celtic (such as Irish), Italic (which includes the Romance languages like French and Spanish), Greek, Albanian, Indo-Iranian (which includes most of the languages of Iran, Pakistan, and northern India, and also the language of the Gypsies), and Armenian. |
