German language West Germanic language

German is a West Germanic language that is mainly spoken in Central Europe. It is the most widely spoken and official or co-official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol (Italy), the German-speaking Community of Belgium, and Liechtenstein. It is also one of the three official languages of Luxembourg and a co-official language in the Opole Voivodeship in Poland. The languages which are most similar to German are the other members of the West Germanic language branch: Afrikaans, Dutch, English, the Frisian languages, Low German/Low Saxon, Luxembourgish, and Yiddish. There are also strong similarities in vocabulary with Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, although those belong to the North Germanic group. German is the second most widely spoken Germanic language, after English.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Gornji Suhor to Gornji Suhor pri Metliki in 1953. [5] The name literally means 'upper Suhor near Metlike', distinguishing the settlement from neighboring Dolnji Suhor pri Metliki (literally, 'lower Suhor near Metlike'). The settlement was attested in written sources in 1477 as Suchar (and as Gornÿ Zwhor in 1593, and Ober Süchor in 1610). The name Suhor is derived from the adjective suh 'dry'. This most likely refers to a dry creek rather than reference to a hypocorism. [6] The settlement was known as Obersuchor bei Möttling in German in the past. [2] [3]

A hypocorism, also called a hypocoristicon, is a diminutive form of a name. Hypocorisms include pet names or calling names, often a diminutive or augmentative form of a word or given name when used as a nickname or term of endearment.

History

In 1610, the village had eight farms and it belonged to the Dominion of Metlika. During the Second World War, after the Italian base in Dolnji Suhor pri Metliki was destroyed, the Partisans set up a regional committee and a shoe-making workshop in Gornji Suhor pri Metliki because of its more secluded location. The commands of various Partisan units also bivouacked in the settlement. Water mains were installed in the village in 1956. [7]
