Of course. It’s the mother tongue of Western Civilization. Which means it is also despised, by all the right people.

It's also the mother tongue of Esperanto, which they love deeply. "Soros" is an Esperanto word.

His father Tivadar (also known as Teodoro Ŝvarc) was a lawyer[35] and a well-known Esperanto-speaker who edited the Esperanto literary magazine Literatura Mondo and raised his son to speak the language....
In 1936, Soros's family changed their name from the German-Jewish Schwartz to Soros, as protective camouflage in increasingly antisemitic Hungary. Tivadar liked the new name because it is a palindrome and because of its meaning. In Hungarian, soros means "next in line," or "designated successor"; in Esperanto it means "will soar."

A good deal of the English language is derived from the Germanic language.
