Yes, and Sturm und Drang, Weltschmertz, and Wehrmacht. But, that is the point. German is a language rich in philosophical and powerful words, many of which have been incorporated into English, but the euphony of the Romance languages is much greater and more graceful. More beautiful languages exist than them, though, notably Welsh and Finnish, which were the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkein's Elvish tongues.[/QUOTE]Check here for some referances Attalus. And before you call any of the Scandinavian languages beatiful.. I suggest you ought to listen to some native person speak it first
Edit note: Funny joke man!
