Dunadan 1,103 Posted December 28, 2019 #134 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Some original Ladin surnames before they were Germanized and then partly Italianized- see the difference with their current version: http://www.vejin.com/nomifamiglia.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col = hill (also in Italian), which apparently is the same meaning of Pichl in some form of German. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss people are the only native German-speakers I'm afraid to talk in German with. Even the citizens of Berlin, who are said to be terrible in that matter, are not as scary for me as the SchwizerDütscher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's considered a Romance language, but many langues take loan words as if there's no tomorrow, like Japanese, for example: iyaringu (ear ring), aisukuriimu (ice cream), both from English; arubaito (arbeit) from German; pan (pão), sarada (salada), both from Portuguese; resutoran (restaurant) from French.
