Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Das Deutsche ist formenreicher als das Englische, […]

1922, Eduard Engel, Deutsche Stilkunst, page 65:

German has a greater wealth of [inflected] forms than English, […]

Das Deutsch ist immer nur ein Teil des Deutschen: gutes oder schlechtes, falsches oder richtiges Deutsch, das Deutsch unserer Klassiker und das Deutsch, das wir heute sprechen, das Deutsch, das man lernt, schreibt, versteht […]

1965, Edith Hallwass, Wer ist im Deutschen sattelfest?: Sprachlehre in Frage und Antwort, page 13:

[The] German [idiolect] is always only a part of the German language: good or bad, wrong or right German, the German of our classics and the German that we speak today, the German that one learns, writes, understands […]

Die Besonderheiten sind auf die Zeit, den Raum und den gesprochenen Charakter seines Deutschs zurückzuführen.

2002, Dieter Cherubim, Karlheinz Jakob, Angelika Linke, editors, Neue deutsche Sprachgeschichte: mentalitäts-, kultur- und sozialgeschichtliche Zusammenhänge, page 396:

The idiosyncrasies are attributable to the era, the area and spoken character of his German [idiolect].

Statt der institutionellen Stärkung des Deutschen ist eher die umgekehrte Wirkung festzustellen, nämlich dass die fortdauernde institutionelle Schwäche des Deutschen seinen Wert in den Augen der Ostmitteleuropäer mindert […]

2007, Ulrich Ammon, Klaus J. Mattheier, Sprachliche Folgen der EU-Erweiterung, page 135:

Not the institutional strengthening of [the] German [language] but the opposite effect can be seen, namely that the persistent institutional weaknesses of German reduce its worth in the eyes of the East-Central Europeans […]

Dieser Befund legt die Vermutung nahe, dass Sprecher des American Low German lediglich nach Englisch und Deutsch kategorisieren und innerhalb von Deutsch nicht weiter nach Niederdeutsch und Hochdeutsch unterscheiden.

Und er wird dann in seinen Gedanken noch weiter fortfahren und wird sich noch ganz gut daran erinnern, daß er vorm Pastor, der aus Livland stammte, gehört hat, daß unsere Sprache, die Sprache der deutschen Bauern an der Wolga, gar keine richtige deutsche Sprache sei, sondern eine verdorbene, platte Sprache, ein Plattdeutsch, und da[ß] niemand in Deutschland so spreche oder jemals gesprochen habe. […] Der Vater mußte ihm noch Schläge anbieten und es schließlich auf folgende Art trösten: „unser Schprooch is jo net richtig dr Schrift, dr Bücher nooch, mer schwädze jo plattdaitsch!“ [Unsere Sprache ist ja nicht richtig nach der Schrift und den Büchern, wir sprechen ja plattdeutsch!]

1923, Georg Dinges, “Über unsere Mundarten - mit Sprach-Karte der Wolgadeutschen Mutterkolonien”, in Zur Heimatkunde des deutschen Wolgagebiets:

[…] that our language, the language of the German farmers on Wolga, is not at all a real German language, but rather a decayed, flat/inane language, a Plattdeutsch, and that no-one in Germany speaks or has spoken like that. […] „unser Schprooch is jo net richtig dr Schrift, dr Bücher nooch, mer schwädze jo plattdaitsch!“ [Our language is not correct according to the writing and the books, we speak plattdeutsch!]

Wotan

de-proper noun

Wotan m (proper noun, strong, genitive Wotans)

→ English: Wotan

Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *Wōdanaz, cognate with English Woden, Icelandic Óðinn. Attested since the 12th century in the Latin Chronicon of Godfrey of Viterbo, where it is spelled Wotan. In Old High German, the name is attested as Wodan.
After Christianization, the name appears to have persisted in folklore and formed various derivations, such as Old High German Wuotunc, Wodunc; Middle High German Wüetung.
In literary modern German, the spellings Wodan and Wotan competed during the early 19th century, but Wotan became prevalent in the wake of Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, published in 1853.
A male given name Wotan (also Wuotan, Woatan) is attested in Latin beginning in the 9th century. It became obsolete during the high medieval period, but was revived as a rare given name in the 20th century.
