A Teach Me How To Dewey production

This Is How We Dewey:

• 430 Germanic languages; German
• 431 German writing system & phonology
• 432 German etymology
• 433 German dictionaries
• 434 Not assigned or no longer used
• 435 German grammar
• 436 Not assigned or no longer used
• 437 German language variations
• 438 Standard German usage
• 439 Other Germanic languages

Based on the material available in this section, I’d venture to say that while Germanic languages aren’t the prettiest ones out there, they are often the most interesting. There’s the umlaut-loving Swedish, the melting-pot Afrikaans, the Tolkien-like Icelandic… I’ll never have enough time to learn them all, but were I to undergo a superhero origin story, I hope my heroic alter ego would be a polyglot.
