<human language> \j*r'mn\ A human language written (in latin
alphabet) and spoken in Germany, Austria and parts of
Switzerland.
German writing normally uses four non-ASCII characters:
"äöüß", the first three have "umlauts" (two dots over the
top): A O and U and the last is a double-S ("scharfes S")
which looks like the Greek letter beta (except in capitalised
words where it should be written "SS"). These can be written
in ASCII in several ways, the most common are ae, oe ue AE OE
UE ss or sz and the TeX versions "a "o "u "A "O "U "s.
