"The German language is famous for some really long nouns
(Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän comes to mind). This is
because German nouns, verbs, prepositions and adjectives are like lego
bricks; you can stick them together in almost any way to create new
words that encapsulate new concepts."

An entertaining and informative infographic!
