You guys love your "K's". 😁
hehe, understand quite alot too.....german/swedish is the same language family
Nope , German and Swedish is not part of the same language family, Danish Swedish, Norwegian , Icelandic , Faroese are the same language family. But I am NOT forgetting Scanian (which originally was a Northern Zelandian dialect, well it was once spoken in Helsingør, which now has become a regional language, ) either. That family is known as The Scandinavian languages. But then again, I can say, that German is a relative to at least three of the Scandinavian languages, and in Swedish there are quite a few words, borrowed from the German language.
But German and Swedish are NOT part of the same family, even though they are related.
here is some history about the Scanian language.
