German grammar is simple, elegant, if a little inflexible. Verb is in
second and last position. Same with all nouns being capitalized. I
think the technical books in Europe are still majority German-language.

I find it interesting that the SUSE web site, although the company is
no longer German, lists staff of SUSE GmbH as attending events.
Looking up SUSE.de, it points back to the main web site, suse.com,
SUSE owner Microfocus is based in the U.K.

BTW. not even ancient Egyptian is completely "dead," look at a
prescription sometime, that Rx isn't just there for looks, or is it?
Champollion was really onto something.
