But if you allow etymologically German words as well as relative
newcomers to English, the list would be practically endless. English is
a Teutonic language, after all, and we have words from pretty much all
the European languages as well as a load from further afield.
A random page from my dictionary of etymology gives
fop
forage
forbid
fordo
forget
forlorn
as being of German or Old High German origin, and about half of the
others have come via the German.

Y'know, most of the words that have been suggested in this thead aren't
really words that have been adopted/adapted into English, as Sven's
original suggestion/question. They are German words that are commonly
recognized by English-speakers, but as German words. Some have been
adopted, (kindergarden, angst, ersatz, pretzel...) but most of these
suggestions have not.
I know; picky, picky, picky... ;-) (I seem to be becoming more
and more of a curmudgeon the older I get -- I don't know why since I
only turned sixty-nine in April!)

Greetings to the entire POV-Ray Community!
It is a truly great community - I like really a lot that it is possible here
to even discuss subjects such as words of other languages integrated in the
English language, which don't belong the the original POV-Ray subjects! The
more I like the free spirit here! A strong applause to all of you here! Keep
the spirit!

Hmm, according to my Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current
English, a curmudgeon seems to be something like a bear with a sore
head... or, to put in in German, a "Stinkstiefel" (literally, a stinking
boot)... we live and learn!
See you in Khyberspace!

No, a Zillertalbahnintegrationsheimteilchenbeschleuniger! Mark Twain
once wrote about those infamous German monster composita: "...you can
see them marching majestically across the page, you can even see the
banners and hear the music!"
But, beware, composita in Sanskrit can be even much longer... some of
them stretch over several lines!
See you in Khyberspace!
