So, a lot of the English language is heavily influenced by German.
In German, "ach" means "oh."
In English, "ah" and "oh" and semi-interchangeable.
So did "ah" come from "ach"?

I have no idea what you mean. Ah is one word therefore, that isn't a lot of the English language Dummkopf, I was only stating that there are many words in English that have come from German. It wasn't even that I was stating one of those instances, necessarily. I was hypothesizing that "ah" is ONE OF THOSE WORDS. |

They are both members of the Germanic language tree along with Dutch and Yiddish so there are similarities.
