Grimm Later Years

The Grimm Brothers Later Years:

As the Grimm Brothers got older, they have grown a very big interest in older language that was used in Germany compared to the modern German language that is being used today. Out of the two brothers Jakob was the one who had more of the interest in the history structure of the German language. Both brothers, but mostly Jakob were working on other languages and how they connect or sound with German language. An example would be the word "Apple" in the English language compared to the word "Apfel" that is used in the German language. The rule for each word having a connection or a relationship with one another became known as Grimm Law. 

Not too long after the creation of Grimm Law, the brothers had published their first volume of of a German dictionary in 1854. After the death of the brothers scholars wanted to finish the dictionary and later finished it in 1960 with sixteen volumes.
