    Pretty sure that was the case 2-3 days ago, but as others have said, it doesn't count for anything

    Hmm, weird, I deleted that as I realised they weren't umlauts, then accidentally closed the window and it posted.... ah well

    Its more "er"

    I had a lengthy lesson in a Cologne Christmas market trying to order kolsch some years ago (the umlaut is over the o) and it was pronounced more kerlsh, but its not a natural sound in the English language. I'm sure some of those who speak german better than me can go into more accurate detail.

    Hallfreðsson. Not strictly an accent, but a different letter - eth - that hasn't been used in English for centuries.

    'Thorn' in Old English, still used in Icelandic.

    It's like adding an "e" directly after the vowel, and pronouncing them together. Words with umlauts can also be written like that, for example Heinz Müller can also be written Heinz Mueller, and Rönnie Glävin can also be written Roennie Glaevin.

    My best attempt at pronunciation is: -

    ä = "ay" as in "hay", or "er" as in "where"
    ö = "er" as in "were"
    ü = doesn't exist in English. Similar to the "u" in "tu" in French. Form your mouth as if you're going to say "o" but then say "u". Or is it the other way round????

    I'm sure any such thread on the Owls forums would centre on the long-vowel game...

    What a ridiculous language. Two dots over a letter and it turns the word into a plural? Gordon Bennett...

    I quite enjoyed German at school, though cant for the life of me recall the correct use for the 16 versions of "a" and the 9 versions of "the"

    The missus was learning a bit of Italian and the variation per region is pretty sizeable. But then look at our regional dialects... the language is easily learned, the slang and regional variations must confuse the bejesus out of people though.... and that's just the americans!

    What are the plurals of "sheep" and "fish"?
    How come "person" has got 2 plurals - "persons" and "people"?
    How come the plural "people" has itself got a plural "peoples"?
    How come "jeans" and "trousers" are plural?

    What a ridiculous language :D

    Wearing a pair of jeans... sounds like you're dressing for very cold weather! You people are silly.

    And let's not even discuss how written and spoken English don't seem to even have the slightest correlation.
