    They probably recognized enough to tell it was a Germanic language, but knows no German.

    That would be a very common response in my area, but it was settled prominently by German immigrants.

    There’s a subtle awareness you get growing up around people who are very proud of their Germanic heritage, but not in a racist way like some would assume from the south.
