Countries with articles in German. Which countries speak German

In the note "Countries in German" you will find a list of countries, find out in what way country names are used in German, and you can also read about two countries with translation into Russian.

Countries in German predominantly neuter - but the article das it is not used directly with the name of the country.

Oslo ist die Hauptstadt von Norwegen. Oslo is the capital of Norway.

But it is used - if any definition is given to the country:

Er zieht in das teuere Norwegen. He is moving to expensive Norway.

Some nouns (there are not many of them) denoting the name of countries belong to the feminine or masculine gender, in which case they are always preceded by an article.

Ich wohne in der Schweiz.— I live in Switzerland.

Ich fahre in die Schweiz.- I'm going to Switzerland.

Feminine countries include country names ending in ei, for example: die Türkei. And also those countries that are used with the word Republik: die Dominikanische Republik. Here is a list of countries in German that are feminine: die Mongolei, die Schweiz, die Slowakei, die Türkei, die Ukraine, die Dominikanische Republik, die Zentralafrikanische Republik.

Masculine countries: der Iraq, der Iran, der Jemen, der Kongo, der Libanon, der Sudan, der Tschad, der Vatikan, der Niger, der Oman, der Senegal.

But before Iraq and Iran, newspaper articles often omit the article.

There are also names of countries in the German language that are used in the plural, mainly island states:

die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika = die USA— United States of America = USA, die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate- United Arab Emirates, die Bahamas— Bahamas, die Färöer Inseln- Faroe islands, die Kapverdischen Inseln- Cape Verde Islands , die Komoren— Comoros, die Malediven– Maldives , die Niederlande— Netherlands, die Philippinen— Philippines , die Seychellen— Seychelles,

There are German speaking areas in France (Alsace and Lorraine)

The German language belongs to the West Germanic subgroup of the Germanic languages ​​and is the official state language of such states as the Federal Republic of Germany (about 76-77 million speakers), Austria (7.5 million people), Liechtenstein, as well as one of the official languages ​​of Switzerland (4, 6 million speakers, or 72.4% of the population), Luxembourg and Belgium. Significant groups of the German-speaking population also live in France, Italy, the USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Poland and Romania, but the latter do not belong to the group of German-speaking countries.

German dialects

Literary German (Hochdeutsch) is the common language used in education, office work, official institutions, etc. There are many regional dialects of the German language, such as German Plato (Low German), which is spoken in the north of the country (it is somewhat similar to Dutch and closer to English than literary German), Swabian in the southwest, Bavarian in the south, and Saxon in the southeast. Austria and Switzerland use their own national variants of the literary German language (respectively, Austrian and Swiss, which should not be confused with the Austro-Bavarian or Swiss dialects), which differ in some features of phonetics, morphology and vocabulary.

The three largest German-speaking countries can be abbreviated DACH (dah) from D (Germany, Deutschland), A (Austria (lat. Austria) and CH (Switzerland, lat. Confoederatio Helvetica). The abbreviation is used mainly for the names of events, conferences, for example, " DACH Meteorologentagung" or for common projects of these three countries. There are also electronic maps of the same name for navigators.

German is one of the most commonly used languages ​​in the world, ranking tenth in popularity among all languages. It is also one of the most widely spoken languages: German is spoken by more than 100 million people worldwide. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the German language itself is heterogeneous, which creates additional difficulties for identifying the exact number of speakers of it. Some German dialects and dialects that belong to the West Germanic language continuum can no longer be attributed to the proper German language, so the number of people who speak them is not taken into account.

The official German language is:

in Germany (about 80 million people; see German language in Germany);

Austria (7.57 million; see German in Austria);

Liechtenstein (35.36 thousand people).

German is one of the official languages:

Switzerland (used along with French, Italian and Romansh; about 67% of the Swiss speak German (5 million people); see German in Switzerland);

Luxembourg (along with Luxembourgish and French; about 474 thousand people);

Italy (at the level of the South Tyrol region, along with Italian; about 330 thousand people);

Belgium (along with French and Dutch; 78 thousand people).

Minority language

German is one of the official languages ​​of the European Union and also one of the working languages ​​along with English and French. In Europe, German is the second most widely spoken language after English.

German is also used in many sports regional and international federations (for example, FIBA, FIFA, UEFA, etc.), and is one of the ESA and EPO languages.

But in a conversation with friends and acquaintances, a lot is said in dialect. It is very difficult to understand each other when people speak their own dialects. But standard German, or as they say, "high German", is understood by everyone.

German is one of the most popular languages ​​in Europe - it is spoken by about 100 million people living in various countries, it is considered the official language of the European Union. That is why it is so important to know where German is spoken and in which states and regions it is useful for business and everyday communication.

What language is spoken in Germany

It is generally accepted that in Germany everyone speaks German, however, as practice shows, this is not always the case. The fact is that until the 19th century, Germany consisted of fragmented lands, principalities, duchies, each of which had its own special dialect.

Today, the literary variant, which has the name "Hoch Deutsch", is considered to be the state one. Newspapers are printed on it, television programs are produced, teaching is conducted in schools and universities, while in life the Germans actively use Berlin, Bavarian, Cologne and other dialects that differ significantly from the literary model.

Residents of all regions of Germany consider themselves to be the bearers of true linguistic traditions, therefore dialects are not considered as vernacular - rather, they are historically developed linguistic varieties.

Dialect variants are used in the preparation of local television broadcasts, in some theaters, in communication on the territory of federal states, and also as regional models: for example, the EU officially recognizes the Low Saxon dialect as a special variety of German.

Which countries in the world speak German?

Since Germany has always played a special role in the cultural, business and socio-political life of Europe, it is not surprising that its language is widely spoken in neighboring states. At present, in addition to the inhabitants of Germany, German is spoken in Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, as well as in the part of Belgium bordering Switzerland, whose inhabitants consider themselves German speakers.

According to experts, the Austrian version of German is most similar to "Hoch Deutsch", but at the same time, the average German and Austrian cannot always understand each other, since Austria still uses a special language variety.

There are even more differences between the Swiss and Luxembourgish versions, so when news or TV shows are broadcast in the local dialect, simultaneous translation into “Hoch Deutsch” is launched below - without this, the population of Germany and other German-speaking countries is practically unable to understand what is being said.

Where do German diasporas exist?

The spread of the German language in the world is not limited to those countries where German is spoken mainly. For many historical reasons, large German diasporas exist in the United States, the states of South America and Africa. There are German settlements on the territory of Kazakhstan, the Czech Republic and other countries.

Significant communities of Germans live in Denmark, France (Alsace and Lorraine - northeast of the Moselle department), Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania (Romanian Germans).

For example, about a million Alsatians in France speak Alamani German, which is recognized as a regional dialect in Alsace.

Approximately 300,000 Tyroleans in Italy consider themselves Germans. And German in the province of Bolzano is considered official along with Italian.

In Upper Silesia in Poland, German is also considered a regional language, with up to 200,000 German-speaking people living here.

If we consider in a broader aspect, in which countries the German language is spoken, it is worth noting the states of South America in particular. So, in the south of Brazil, about 600 thousand inhabitants speak German, and up to 40% of the population consider themselves descendants of the Germans. In the northern part of Mexico, 300,000 inhabitants named German as their mother tongue. And the list of these countries can be continued.

Finally

German in their work is used by many international organizations, it has long been recognized in the world as an international language. So, in the Council of Europe, he is considered a worker along with English and French.

A huge number of residents of European countries who speak German, and the recognition of Germany as the leader of modern Europe, contribute to the growth of the importance of this language, which is currently being actively studied in schools and universities in Russia and other countries.

Transcription of individual words is given after them in Russian in parentheses.In my opinion, the way Russian letters convey the sound of letters and letter combinations of geographical names is, of course, not ideal and carries a number of significant inaccuracies in pronunciation, but it is more convenient than classical transcription.

In order to find the geographical name you need, for now, use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+f(we drive in the search line that appears (usually at the top right) the desired name and press Enter). A more convenient way to search will appear a little later.
