Clearly they are Jewish and their ancestors were part of The Madagascar Plan, where Nazi Germany was forced resettling Jewish people in Madagascar.

They have largely been isolated and weren't able to keep apprised of what happened after their family was resettled. Germany had been really pushing to establish a military base in Antarctica for decades, so the penguins had the understanding that Germany must be well established there by the time they got there.

So that is why Penguins from Madagascar would believe that people in Antarctica would be speaking German.

Lol, have my upvote for a great backstory!

Also, I think the word you want is "apprised", which means "to inform", while "appraised" means "to evaluate".

Lots of homonyms in English, another pair is "weary/wary". Weary means fatigued, wary means cautious.

Fixed. Sorry, English is my first language but my autocorrect is aggressive.

Also "appraised" and "apprised" are not homonyms, unless you pronounce them wrong.

Same with weary/wary
