VERY old.

German could possibly be among the oldest languages on Earth.

At least there exists a writer, who claims, that the Mayas spoke a 
variant of old German.

Luther wasn't Prussian and not a protestant!!!

He was very much a racist and antisemitic, but you can't blame Prussia 
nor the protestants for this, because Luther was a Catholic.


And you can't call him a German neither, because he could be a citizen 
of a state, which didn't exist.

And you can't blame Germans for Luther, because 'German' is a language 
and it's not illegal or immoral to speak German.

German was actually the language of large parts of the Jews (the 
'Ashkenazim' - 'Ashkenaz' means actually 'Germany), who were most likely 
not very antisemitic.

These German speaking people were also not 'Germans', because no country 
named 'Germany' existed at the time of Luther.

(Germany was created in 1871, which was almost 300 years later).
