BTW, interesting is, that it was probably the Celts who
were called "non-speaking" first, and only later the
Germans.
"Nìmecký jazyk" = German language
The Slavic name for Germans (Nemci) has nothing to do with
the Slavic word 'nem' (mute, dumb)  [...]

Wrong, as usual.


Brainy coprorrhea!

TheSerbs/Slavs always thought of the Germans as skilled and diligent
(respectful) people while the poor Anglo-Saxons were (and still are)
the German pupils.

It was absolutely impossible that Slavs named Germans as Nemci (mute)
because they didn't understand their language. Why wouldn't the Greeks
or the Mongols be "tongueless" too?

Only a complete idiot could believe into such a stupidity!
