I was just kidding as well. in English you have other funny things, for example 7 different pronunciations for "-ough". if you come across some unknown word that contains "ough" you have no idea how to pronounce it.

by the way: I am a native English speaker

not silly at all; you might as well say "silly English because they have no umlauts".

English speaking people tend to just leave them off and type "a", "o" or "u" instead of "ä", "ö" and "ü". this can however lead to serious misunderstandings. the best example is the difference between "geachtet" and "geächtet". "geachtet" means "well-respected" and "geächtet" means "ostracized", so just the opposite.

you might say: "but there are no umlauts on my keyboard". well, there is a solution: just add an "e" after the vowel to indicate you mean the umlaut. examples: for "hören" (hearing) you type "hoeren", for "Wächter"(guard) you type "Waechter". for "bügeln" (ironing) you type "buegeln". this is standard procedure in German and was introduced for typewriters that don't have umlauts

Sorry about the text at the top btw. No idea how to stop it. Won't delete at the preview stage.

Udu Wudu

Tago Mago, which is an actual island right off of Ibiza where people might go to try and ride out nuclear armageddon like that which transpires in the course of the album.

Ummagumma.
