For many people the unique personality trait known as charisma can be rather hard to pin down in a lot of cases. There are of course individuals out there who have a rather strange, magnetic aura around them. For them, it is easier to draw people in and influence them in rather subtle ways. Having these traits is important in a lot of different fields. People can use this skill whether it be for the greater good or for their own ends, and history has many different examples of people who have abused the rather charismatic flair that they had. German speakers might also have a certain aspect of this within the language that they use. It is basically going down to language, of course. For the most part, those who understand German speakers, especially if it is their native language, will find it quite easy to understand the nuances of such a language. In many ways, it is quite similar to the English tongue. When studying German, many will discover that there are blatant similarities between English and German. English, of course, is considered to be a member of the Germanic family of languages which includes a wide range of other European languages. Icelandic, Danish and the Scandinavian tongues all come from the same family. There are certain words in both English and German which evolved from the same routes. This can most clearly be seen in "deep" and "tief", both meaning the same thing. Germany has also had several leaders which, in this regard, have been considerably charismatic. Adolf Hitler is probably one of the first names that spring to mind. Despite the atrocities he committed during the Second World War, he had an immense hold over the people. Voting statistics were considerably high as he promised to pull people out of the recession Germany found itself in. It is clear to see that a very powerful effect had worked its magic on the people of this country. Of course, this also got out of hand and there are those that do think perhaps it had something to do with the language which was spoken. Indeed, German itself does have a very commanding tone to it. There is a certain sound to this particular language which might sometimes instill fear. Sometimes, German speakers can come off as rude to many outsiders, although this is mainly because as a language it is rather direct and gets to the point. Then again, of course, Germany is a large place and there are many different types of people within this country. Overall, a lot of people believe that it is probably the language's commanding aspect that makes people think that German speakers have a more charismatic aura about them. Sometimes, however, they might be seen as being rather too serious. Of course, this depends on the individual themselves. Sometimes, charisma is something that transcends language. When it comes to the aspects of charisma with regards to language, there are a number of different studies available which can be sought out on the Internet. For the most part, German speakers do have a commanding tone.
