English derived from low German. So a lot of those archaic German words became roots for English words. To make it even more amusing, American English picked up a lot of Yiddish words, and Yiddish is a derivative of Hoch Deutsch. While I knew that English was a Germanic language, I never realized how close the two were. You probably know this but some words like 'also' are spelled the same way but pronounced a little differently while other words like 'hier' are spelled differently but pronounced nearly the same. As for Yiddish......which is itself a Germanic construction given the ending ~ish.....it goes to show you the influence of the German culture had on Judaism and visa versa. Kind of ironic given the POV Hilter had going.
