I still can't finally get is it quiz a joke or not. If to look on your description, these facts are actually false, and in some answers, I just feel like they're quite... inaccurate

Germanic languages do not generally put the verb at the end, really only German and Dutch (and I assume Afrikaans) of the major Germanic languages. English doesn't and do the Scandinavian languages.
