Further bewijs:

Swedish: Kvadratmeter

Dutch: Vierkante meter

More Swedish than Swedish

@MrShark ironic that we're further from Rome but it's us who use the Latin not the Germanic version. Maybe the French imported king of 1814 did it.

@Loukas @MrShark Or the Hanse, as it's Quadratmeter in German. "Qu" in German is pronounced basically the same way as "kv" in Swedish.

@rainerzufall_le @MrShark Netherlands also had a lot of Hanseatic cities, but yes, the German influence on Sweden and especially Stockholm used to be extremely strong.

@Loukas Om man läser det holländska med svenskt uttal blir det östgötska.

@nakenbadaren Logiskt. De talar lågtyska där eftersom det regner så mycket.

@Loukas haha, jag hade precis avslutat att lyssna på ett samtal mellan en tysk språkvetare och en svensk språkvetare och dialektolog om just hög- respektive lågtyska. (Jag fattade inte så mycket)

@nakenbadaren man borde byta namn till röka på tyska respektive deppig tyska. Eller nåt.
