"Yeah, but to our dismay we encountered... Römmel."

But why did your swordsmen fear Römmel ?? Had it been the famous Erwin Rommel on the other hand, I would have understood ;):P

Do not doubt the infallibility of the screenshot! It clearly says Römmel! :mad:

The two points are called "Umlaut", that's true. There are three: ä, ö and ü, that's talking of German of course. Neither ë nor ï are an Umlaut, afaik.

Correct you are :) The French use ë and ï. These are used when the vowels are supposed to be read with their "original" sound or "seperate" sound (don't know how to write that properly, sorry) :) But you see it in a brand such as Citroën where they want you to have a clear o and e vowel sound, not a combined oe vowel (which us danes would write as ø.... oe= ø, aa= å and ae = æ in Danish)

The german ü = y, ä = ae = æ and ö = oe = ø :)
The Swedes also use ä and ö.
 
ü = ue ^^ well, similarily spoken than the german y. in german umlauts the two dots above the letters are the remains of the following e that wandered atop first and then got simplified to two dots. but we also have another more original letter: ß :D
