Eszett?
If I'm not correct, but wasn't the eszett removed officially from German in 1999. 84.12.12.120 17:16, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Anon

No, it was not I think you're think of the spelling reform, where some not all lost the eszett. --German Men92 01:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Bold text== Umlaute? ==

Isn't it umlaut? Umlaut. Kellen T 13:31, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Ask the person who edited it, it is Umlaut, so I guess I'll change it back. --Je suis 02:58, 21 June 2006 (UTC) It is "umlaut", trust me, i took german lessons:)

Number of speakers?
Is it really 120 million second language speakers? Or is that supposed to say 120 million total? 139.133.7.37 (talk) 00:52, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I think it's supposed to be 120 million total, because i know for a fact more people speak it as a mother tounge than people who learn it later on in life.Abby101leigh (discuss • contribs) 22:44, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

ill/sick, krank/übel
More sure about German than English here. Mir ist übel or mir ist schlecht means I am going to throw up (nausea). Ich bin krank means I am suffering from an illness (generally, with or without nausea). The English translations seem reversed to me (i.e. sick sounds more nauseous than ill to me). (I am a German living in England.) --86.166.39.171 (discuss) 20:13, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
