About the German Language
German is part of the West Germanic language family. It has 128 million speakers in 38 countries in the world. It is the official language of Germany, Austria and Lichtenstein (which is the only country where German is the only official language). In addition to these countries, German is spoken in Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland, a part of Italy, as well as in Denmark, Namibia, etc.
Standard German language is called Hochdeutsch and it is the language used for writing – all books and magazines are written in the Standard German. German is quite a specific language, with many words identical or similar to English words.
