At this point, I just say I'm multilingual.
How many? Haha, good question.
#it really just depends on how you categories middle high german#it is it's own language or just more german#do i speak all the german if i speak old middle and new high german?#because people who only speak new high german can't really understand middle high german#or only a few parts of it. as in the words that haven't changed much#but once they see 'iu' 'ou' and 'öu' they probably don't know it's just 'ü' 'au' and 'eu'#and why would they? no one alive even remembers how german was before duden made a dictionary#which was how german became so unified and not just 'write as you speak'#as it was for most people who weren't studying the german language beyond regular school#everyone who learned writing german after 2006 doesn't even remember the old grammar structure#which also includes me beyond what my mother told me#but none of this is really relevant to that#german is an interesting language with how much you can just change words and it's still correct#-franz
