Did the English language including swear words come from a German language?
The German language is the mother of the English language. Many German words have similarities to English words. Indeed in some areas, like here in the north west, you may here some people, especially older ones, using dialectal words with a similar grammatical structure to German, and some words in English follow that structure too – “children” is more German in style, where “n” is used rather than an “s” to denote a plural. Some German words which may be considered taboo in English, are not considered so in German. A German parent would probably not mind their children saying “scheiße” but the same cannot be said in England when you hear “sh*t”. Profanity is not universal, even with a country.
