What Typology are polish and german languages? I've noticed words can get weirdly long in both, and germans like to just glue a whole lot of other words together.,(reply>), German is definitely a more agglutinative language, than others, but I have reservations about calling it a true agglutinatative language. Sure, german has noun compounding, but so does English to an extent. I think the bar for agglutination for me is a language whose primary means of creating words / meanings is agglutination, rather than word order or adding extra words. So yes and no, German has agglutinative features on its nouns, but it's not an agglutinative language imo
