Are there any special distinct characteristics about YN's English?

Sladerstanian English has some words from German, an example would be "Nein" instead of "No", "Auf Wiedersehen" instead of Goodbye, and people usually say "Guten" when greeting people, such as Guten Morgen, Tag, Nacht, etc. , and "gut" when saying something is "good". It is still very much English, but some words are replaced with German, due to German immigrants in The Sladerstan incorporating their speech into our language.

There is also 1 letter not found in English words, "§". We'd write things like "He went to the hou§" instesd of "house". Basically, se is §, and you don't say "how-s" you say "how-zuh"

Are there any special distinct characteristics about YN's English?

In the Central and South areas, us'ns, you'uns, and we'uns is used. -'ns, -'uns is 2nd person plural exclusive, whereas us, you (pl), we, etc., is 2nd person inclusive

You plural is Yall, in the southern areas, Yous in the Northern areas, and you guys/gals in the western areas.

In the Alamanery Region, English participles and prepositions are laced in the sentence as in German Grammar.

The Optative/Subjunctive is regularly used.

Wit as an auxiliary is regularly used.

2nd Person singular and plural formal (Thou, and Ye)(is still used in formal ceremonies, and most religious contexts.

Politically correct, and word change for political agendas is greatly resisted, For example:
>>>>>Retarded still means slow to develop,
>>>>>Crippled still means an absence or deprivation of a natural function,
>>>>>Privilege still means specifically, a special dispensation tied to an office or profession (police stopping criminals with a badge and gun; doctors allowed to practicing surgery prohibited to unqualified people; or generally to a contractual right, such as the people's civil rights like the right to vote, right to a jury, right to be free from harassment by others.
