Resisting English - Why the German Language Needs Rescuing - People and Politics, 10.10.2008

Increasingly, English seem to be encroaching on the German language. The German Language Association has registered some 6000 pseudo-anglicisms and is determined to stop the invasion. Its campaign is supported by a number of companies such as Dr.Oetker and Porsche, which are now dispensing with Anglicisms in their advertising. Members of the German Parliament are also fleshing out strategies to protect the German language. Ultimately, they want to see this enshrined in the Constitution.
