German orthography is the orthography used in writing the German language, which is largely phonemic. However, it shows many instances of spellings that are historic or analogous to other spellings rather than phonemic. The pronunciation of almost every word can be derived from its spelling once the spelling rules are known, but the opposite is not generally the case.
Today, German orthography is regulated by the Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung (RdR; German for "Council for German Orthography").
^For ⟨ch⟩, Charlotte is used. For the trigraph ⟨sch⟩, Schule is used.
Special characters
German uses letter-diacritic combinations (Ä/ä, Ö/ö, Ü/ü) using the umlaut and one ligature (ß (called Eszett (sz) or scharfes S, sharp s)), but they do not constitute distinct letters in the alphabet.
Capital ẞ exists, but has very limited use. In the past, long s (ſ) was used as well.
German (Bulgaria and Serbian:Герман, pronounced[ˈɡerman]) is a South Slavicmythological being, recorded in the folklore of eastern Serbia and northern Bulgaria. He is a male spirit associated with bringing rain and hail. His influence on these precipitations can be positive, resulting with the amount of rain beneficial for agriculture, or negative, with a drought, downpours, or hail. Rituals connected with German included making a doll intended to represent this personage. This effigy of German, made of rags, fired clay, or dried fruits, was rather large, usually with a distinct representation of the male genitals. It was produced and used in rituals exclusively by girls or young women.
In eastern Serbia, when a drought developed, girls would make such a doll, and bring it to a river bank. Depending on the regional custom, they would either bury it by the river, or put it in a little casket and let it flow down the river. Two of the girls would then start lamenting for the doll. Asked by the others why they were crying, they would answer, “We are crying for German; because of the drought German has died for the rain to fall.” If the amount of rain would become excessive after that, the doll was dug out. In northern Bulgaria, the rituals with German usually followed immediately after the Dodola rituals, but could be performed independently from them. In some villages they were carried out on the Feast of Saint Germanus. Girls would make the doll, 20 to 50cm long, and lay it on a slate or in a little casket. Having adorned it with flowers, they would bury it with funeral observances. After three, nine, or forty days, the doll was dug out, and thrown into water.
Flight dynamics is the study of the performance, stability, and control of vehicles flying through the air or in outer space. It is concerned with how forces acting on the vehicle influence its speed and attitude with respect to time.
In fixed-wing aircraft, the changing orientation of the vehicle with respect to the local air flow is represented by two critical parameters, angle of attack ("alpha") and angle of sideslip ("beta"). These angles describe the vector direction of airspeed, important because it is the principal source of modulations in the aerodynamic forces and moments applied to the aircraft.
Spacecraft flight dynamics involve three forces: propulsive (rocket engine), gravitational, and lift and drag (when traveling through the earths or any other celestial atmosphere). Because aerodynamic forces involved with spacecraft flight are very small, this leaves gravity as the dominant force.
Aircraft and spacecraft share a critical interest in their orientation with respect to the earth horizon and heading, and this is represented by another set of angles, "yaw," "pitch" and "roll" which angles match their colloquial meaning, but also have formal definition as an Euler sequence. These angles are the product of the rotational equations of motion, where orientation responds to torque, just as the velocity of a vehicle responds to forces. For all flight vehicles, these two sets of dynamics, rotational and translational, operate simultaneously and in a coupled fashion to evolve the vehicle's state (orientation and velocity) trajectory.
List was originally a Danish settlement. It was first mentioned in 1292 (Lystum). The original village was destroyed by the great flood of 1364. The settlement was rebuilt further east from the previous location. In the mid-15th century, a church named St. Jürgen was mentioned. In a treaty of 1460, Schleswig and Holstein were linked to the Danish crown, but List remained part of the royal enclaves, small areas of the Kingdom of Denmark situated within the Duchy of Schleswig, but directly controlled by the Danish king.
From the 16th century, the people of List mostly made a living from Oyster farming, raising sheep and collecting and selling gull eggs. At the time, List was an important protective anchorage. In 1644, a Swedish-Dutch fleet of 26 ships commanded by Admiral Thijssen was attacked in the Lister Tief and defeated by Danish ships commanded by king Christian IV of Denmark. The anchorage north of today's town was named Königshafen to honour this event.
Jousting is a martial game or hastilude between two horsemen wielding lances with a blunted tips, often as part of a tournament. The primary aim was to replicate a clash of heavy cavalry, with each opponent endeavoring to strike the opponent while riding towards him at high speed, if possible breaking the lance on the opponent's shield or jousting armour, or unhorsing him. The joust became an iconic characteristic of the knight in Romantic medievalism. Jousting matches were notably depicted in Ivanhoe(a novel).
The term is derived from Old French joster, ultimately from a Late Latiniuxtare "to approach, to meet". The word was loaned into Middle English around 1300, when jousting was a very popular sport among the Anglo-Norman knighthood. The synonym tilt dates ca. 1510.
Jousting is based on the military use of the lance by heavy cavalry. It transformed into a specialised sport during the Late Middle Ages, and remained popular with the nobility both in England and Germany throughout the whole of the 16th century (while in France, it was discontinued after the death of King Henry II in an accident in 1559). In England, jousting was the highlight of the Accession Day tilts of Elizabeth I and James I, and also was part of the festivities at the marriage of Charles I.
American English, or United States (U.S.) English, is the set of dialects of the English language native to the United States. English is the most widely spoken language in the United States and is the common language used by the federal government, considered the de facto language of the country because of its widespread use. English has been given official status by 30 of the 50 state governments. As an example, while both Spanish and English have equivalent status in the local courts of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, under federal law, English is the official language for any matters being referred to the United States District Court for the territory.
The use of English in the United States is a result of British colonization. The first wave of English-speaking settlers arrived in North America during the 17th century, followed by further migrations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Since then, American English has been influenced by the languages of West Africa, the Native American population, German, Dutch, Irish, Spanish, and other languages of successive waves of immigrants to the United States.
I've heard a lot of people complain about spelling reforms, and rightly so, considering some of the stupid ideas people have come up with. But how do you make an actual good spelling reform? Also I explain why the letter "ß" exists in German.

Dutch spelling vs German spelling | Comparison on orthography.
How can you spell Dutch or German easily and correctly? I hope this video can be useful for beginners of both languages, especially for speakers of one language learning the other.
Dutch and German belong to the west branch of the Germanic language family, and they are particularly close to each other. It is very easy for a speaker or a learner of one language to notice the common features shared by the other language. But as a main aspect of their distinction, there is different logic in their orthographies.
With the comparison between Dutch and German orthographies I start my channel, aiming at help language learners to learn languages systematically. Comment below if you want me to talk about other themes of languages.

Dutch spelling vs German spelling | Comparison on orthography.
How can you spell Dutch or German easily and correctly? I hope this video can be useful for beginners of both languages, especially for speakers of one language learning the other.
Dutch and German belong to the west branch of the Germanic language family, and they are particularly close to each other. It is very easy for a speaker or a learner of one language to notice the common features shared by the other language. But as a main aspect of their distinction, there is different logic in their orthographies.
With the comparison between Dutch and German orthographies I start my channel, aiming at help language learners to learn languages systematically. Comment below if you want me to talk about other themes of languages.
I was surprised at the amount of interest there was in my recent Shorts about the German spelling alphabet. So in this video, I take a slightly deeper dive into its history: why a spelling alphabet was needed, the abysmal first attempt, a new approach, a revision, and ideological complications.

01:46 A better solution

Image campaign in favour of the German orthography reform of 1996. Developed by students of Berlin Hochschule der Künste, majors of Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftskommunikation. Broadcast on Deutsche Welle (Germany's international broadcaster), Boulevard Deutschland, June 3rd, 1997.
This video will show you to differentiate the difference between the two s-sound of German spelling and to understand when to write the SS and ß according to the german spelling rules.
Is it oignon or ognon? Coût or cout? And why did everyone start tweeting #jesuiscirconflexe in 2016?

Walking down the street in the city Now I am one of the boys, looking pretty And people turn their heads as I walk by And girls says to me; if you don’t want me I must die But I ignore them, I aint got the time I keep on walking as horny girls stand in line ‘Cause I know they are after my shoes My tiny red dr. martens boots I know, I know Everybody wants my dr. martens boots Went into a pub to get a beer When everybody stopped talking and started to stare The pub owner said; you’ll get anything for free But I know what he wanted out of me I can’t just give away my new air wear Then I could go around naked for what I care My martens is the only thing I wear My martens is the only thing I hold dear
