Description
Oh, you don't have to go, guys. Just stay here and go on *~*When I drew Cas' left hand (Oh, how I love drawing hands..) I put his thumb on the wrong side XD so, I'd take it as his ... "little finger" (I don't know what it's called in English)
Castiel & Dean belong to Eric Kripke

It's either called the "pinkie finger," "pinkie," or just the "little finger" as you said. Thumb, index or pointing finger, ring finger, and pinkie.
Just out of curiosity, what is your first language?
And about the finger again, it looks more like a pinkie than it does like a thumb anyway.

Coolness. So in German, it's just the German words for "little finger"? Like I said, that's one of the commonly used terms in English.
Sorry if I'm being annoying, but recently I've been involved in several translation projects, and I'm all interested in the different ways to say things in different languages.

no no it's fine, i think it's interesting, too!!
yeah, well in german you just say "little finger", "middle finger" ,..

originally, i wanted to write an, er, seminar paper about something like that at school. the development of languages etc. (in the end, i didn't, though)

Well, it's "pointing finger" in English too; though, sometimes it is called the "index finger".
I guess it's not extremely surprising that there are a lot of similarities between English and German, since English is considered a "Germanic" language. It stands to reason that it's a lot easier to translate word for word from German to English and back than it is to translate from English to Chinese or something (I actually know someone who's fluent in both English and Chinese - she recently translated my bbc Sherlock fanfic from English into Chinese, and it wasn't an easy process, even for someone who is totally fluent in both languages).
The development of languages. That would be a interesting topic for a school paper.
