But, like, it's also plain English? It's a very versatile language.... When I think of German, I think of straight-up German, not German but also all of these other languages, too.

I think the Schnee side is just all "W" names, and the languages behind them aren't necessarily too specific so long as they're all color-related (even though they don't really need them since Schnee itself already alludes to white).

The only thing I find concerning about the "Jacques married into the Schnee family" thing is that it makes no sense that Jacques would take over the company when he wasn't a blood heir, instead just a married one. So it could be that the W names just come from Willow's(?) side, and Jacques gave them all W names out of respect for her family traditions. Maybe?
