German language was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.

Your concern isn't entirely clear to me (nor why you're asking here instead of at Talk:Umlaut (linguistics), but that's secondary). Is it that you're interpreting "originally" to mean that the mark was originally used but no longer is? I can see it being read that way, but I can also read it another way, to indicate that that was the umlaut mark's original purpose, but that it is now more generally used, as in foreign borrowings such as Büro and imaginär, or perhaps even in native words like Bär. Perhaps that was what was intended. If so, then it should be reworded to remove the ambiguity. Largoplazo (talk) 13:24, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
