Here's a "very short introduction" to the German language. It's aimed at
English speakers, and has a few paragraphs of origins, history, and
compare-and-contrast with English.

Love that site for its Early New High German online dictionary.
And I just learned something there:
"Der Hund hat den Mann gebissen" and
"Den Mann hat der Hund gebissen"
both mean "The dog has bitten the man".
I knew the Russian language had that word-order feature/bug, but didn't
realize German did too. My knowledge of German is mostly limited to a
Schwäbisch-Pfälzisch dialect filtered through 12 generations in America.
