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. This is true mainly because English itself is a language that developed from Proto-Germanic, which eventually became Germany. Certain words can be seen as having the same kind of linguistic and etymological roots. Take a look at the word "deep" in English, and "tief" in Germany, both meaning the same thing. Both evolved from the root, with the central phonetics being the exact same. 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. Hitler did indeed have a rather dark nature, but there is no denying the fact that he had an incredibly dangerous and powerful effects on the people of Germany, bringing in new policies. In some ways, the language which he spoke might have some influence on this. German itself is obviously going to be seen as a rather militaristic and commanding language. The commanding aspect of the language is probably what would make German speakers more charismatic than anyone else. Going back to English speakers' perception of this language, one can see that most find it almost militaristic on some level. Indeed, as a country Germany is renowned for its efficiency and their excellence when it comes to the sciences and other technical fields. There is undoubtedly going to be some kind of level of command to the language, whether or not one considers it to be "charisma" in the real sense of the word. There is of course the impression amongst many people that Germans in general have a very efficient and sometimes too serious outlook on life, but it is difficult to generalize with such a large country. Therefore a number of different factors are usually going to play into this. 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.
