      Unrelated little tangent: it’s neat to me that I’ve never taken a German lesson but know the gist of this is “The German ignorance is (superceded?) by the German Arrogance”.

      Language is based.

        Overshadowed I’d translate it as German ignorance is only overshadowed by German arrogance but I find translating German well to be very difficult.

          Odd that Irish is listed there as it’s not a Germanic language. It’s Celtic. Hiberno English could be there, but it’s more a dialect than a language.

            Presumably they meant Hiberno-English, also known as Irish English.
