Spanish is a bit more versatile.

For example, the Germanic meaning of zimmer is “room”, for which one Spanish word is “sala”. And there is also the Spanish word of “man” for the English word “man”.

Thus, George Zimmerman, in Spanish, could be “Jorge Salaman”.

Interesting.

My Spanish is limited to: un poquito (just a little).

How is Salaman pronounced? The pronunciation should sound Spanish.

German word for “man” is “schwartz” (Ang. prn.: “shvahtz”).

The question to be answered is, what is the German transliteration (to Anglo) of the suffix “-mann”?
