We kept the Eszett after the spelling reform, it actually makes more sense now.

before the spelling reform:
Schloß (short o), Schoß (long o)
→ irregular pronunciation

after the spelling reform:
Schloss (short o), Schoß (long o)
→ regular pronunciation, you can infer whether the vowel is pronounced short or long: 'ß' implies a long vowel, 'ss' a short one

Seems like obnoxious shitposting to deny Anglos their Germanic heritage. (as if there's some grand prize to being Germanic).

Danish and German are actually quite similar, it's just pronounced very differently. If you know how to speak it, you will quickly know similarities. Even rather complicated words are similar.

>Wo kann ich ein Hotel finden?
>Hvor kan jeg finde et hotel?

>Ich will gernen einen Raum buchen
>Jeg vil gerne booke et rum

Do people that say that English is not a Germanic language realise that grammar and phonetics are also a crucial aspect to classify a language, and that English grammar and phonetics are much closer to those of Nordic languages rather than Romance?

This. The German dialects that have nasal vowels are obviously French, too.

Nasal vowels were also present in old Germanic languages.

You're saying French is a Germanic language? :^)

>>69582838
No, French nasal vowels come from Latin. I suspected that what you were trying to say was that nasal vowels implies French influence, which is correct for the German dialects, but wrong as a generalisation.

Gotta any sources to your claim instead of a picture?

He literally just said that Latin is used for more educated and scientific words. Pretty much all the words you're pointing out are nouns relating to more educational and scientific things.
