A upravo to je ono što omogućuje preživljavanje. Što misliš, zbog čega jedan njemački, osim činjenice da nisu bili previše uspješni u osvajanju kolonija, nikad nije imao šanse postati svjetskim jezikom? Pa čak ni u tim kolonijama...

Njemački je jezik bio glavni svjetski jezik tehničkih znanosti i filozofije od cca. 1848. do 1918.

In the course of the nineteenth century (and as a consequence, among other things, of the development of the German university), German advanced to become one of the most important languages of science and scholarship, and at the beginning of the twentieth century ranked above English and French, especially in the sciences. In order to keep abreast of the latest developments, scientists and scholars all over the world learned German, a circumstance that contributed to German’s becoming one of the most widespread foreign languages.
