Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

Dutch is in a category called "German" that also includes Low German, Middle German, High German, Alemannic, and Yiddish. The next level up includes stuff like English, Frisian, Swedish, and the other Germanic languages. For comparison, the "Spanish" category that's on the same level as "German" includes Aragonese, Castilian, Ladino, and Leonese (but not Catalan, that's in a separate category)
Grouping English and Frisian with Swedish is ridiculous. It's like they didn't even bother giving Wikipedia a cursory glance.
They're not grouped like that. Sorry if I explained poorly. The game has categories of languages and then sub-categories within those. Germanic is a top-level category. It includes the sub-categories German, Frisian, English, and Scandinavian. Dutch, Low German, and the others in that first list go in the German sub-category. Frisian is in the Frisian sub-category, English is in English, and Swedish is in Scandinavian
Ah okay, that makes much more sense!
