English Irish Swedish German Italian Catalan Spanish

Originally English comes from the Germanic languages.

Nowadays there are 340 million native speakers and so English is the third most common language

worldwide. Most of the native speakers live in Great Britain and the United States of America.

In addition a lot of countries have English as their first foreign language at school.

With the colonization of America, Australia and parts of India and Africa, English became a global

language.

English has a big vocabulary with more than one million words.

Worldwide many different versions of the original language exist.

Typical Dishes:

Fish and Chips

Tea

Baked Beans

Irish is one of the three Gaelic languages.

Nowadays it is the official language in the Republic of Ireland and it is spoken by 70.000 people

every day. About 1.6 million people speak it as their second.

The letters which are used in Irish are Latin. The alphabet does not contain the letters J, K, Q,

V, W, X, Y, Z. Vowel sounds can be altered by adding a long stroke over the vowel. This is called

a fada. In a written way Irish can be everywhere in Ireland but for example in restaurants

the language of the menu is normally just English.

All signs are officially posted in Irish and English.

Typical dishes:

Stú/ Stew

Coddle

Prátai/ Potato

Liamhás

Bagún/ Bacon

Guinness/ Beer

It is the native language of 9 million people and is also an official

language of Finland.

On the whole it is spoken by 10 million people.

But you can use the Swedish language everywhere in Scandinavia.

So for example Swedish people can communicate with Norwegian people very well.

Swedish is a part of the northern branch of the Germanic language tree.

The alphabet includes 29 letters. Circa 20 dialects exist in Sweden.

Typical dishes:

Korv med mos/ sausage with mashed potatoes

Kǒttbullar med potatis och lingon/ Meat balls with potatoes and lingon berries.

German is a part of the western branch of the Germanic language tree.

It is the native language of about 80 million people and it is a very common second language.

German is one of the most officially spoken languages in the European Union and

is one of the 10 most important languages worldwide.

Many German writers and poets are famous all over the world.

Typical dishes:

Eisbein mit Sauerkraut/ pork boiled and served with sauerkraut

Bauernfrühstück/ bacon and potato omelette

Bratwurst/ fried sausage

Schnitzel/ pork cutlet

Bratkartoffeln/ Sauté fried potatoes

Knödel/ dumpling

The Italian language is currently spoken by 70 million native

speakers, who mainly live in Italy. Italian is also one of the official languages in Switzerland,

and is the official language of San Marino and in the State of Vatican.

As is the case with all Romanic languages Italian comes from Latin, which was spoken in the

areas of the Roman Empire. The dialects are sometimes very different from each other.

Some dialects are even classified as an independent language.

Typical dishes:

Lasagne alla Bolognese

Mozarella/special cheese

Pizza

Pasta

Polenta (in the north)

Catalan is the co-official language in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and in Valencia.

Also it is the official language in Andorra and it is spoken in one part of Italy, Alghero in Sicily.

About 11,5 million people speak Catalan.

It developed between the 8th and 10th century and it belongs to the Romanic language family.

Typical dishes:

Pa amb tomàquet/ Bread with tomato

Escalivada/Roast vegetables

Botifarra amb mongetes/Sausage with white beans

Spanish is a global language and is currently spoken by 329 to 358 million people as

their native language. Worldwide Spanish is the 2nd most commonly spoken language.

As with many languages, Spanish comes from Latin, which was brought by the Romans

to the Spanish territories. There are many variations between continental Spanish

and the Latin-American Spanish. Even within Latin America there are variations between each

country but basically just in the ordinary language and words from everyday life.

Spanish also exists as a mixed language with Portuguese in Portugal, Uruguay and Brazil.

Typical dishes:

Pulpo a la gallega/ Galician style octopus

Tapas/ “Tapas”

Paella/”paella”
