Germanic Language Family

- The Germanic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family spoken natively by a population of about 515 million people mainly in North America, Oceania, Southern Africa and Europe.
The common ancestor of all of the languages in this branch is called Proto-Germanic, also known as Common Germanic, which was spoken in about the middle of the 1st millennium BC in Iron Age Scandinavia. Proto-Germanic, along with all of its descendants, is characterised by a number of unique linguistic features, most famously the consonant change known as Grimm's law. Early varieties of Germanic entered history with the Germanic tribes moving south from Scandinavia in the 2nd century BC, to settle in the area of today's northern Germany and southern Denmark.
The West Germanic languages include the three most widely spoken Germanic languages: English with around 360-400 million native speakers; German, with over 100 million native speakers; and Dutch, with 23 million native speakers. The main North Germanic languages are Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese, which have a combined total of about 20 million speakers. The East Germanic branch included Gothic, Burgundian, and Vandalic, all of which are now extinct. The last to die off was Crimean Gothic, spoken until the late 18th century in some isolated areas of Crimea.

Hello there!
As a French born in Strasbourg (Alsace, FR) we speak a language very close to Luxembourgish and Swiss German called Alsatian (High German). I’ve heard this language during my whole childhood and it made me very familiar to Germanic languages such as German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and English of course. Very proud to be an Alsatian. Viele Grüass vum s‘Elsàssland! ❤️
Very good. Germany should own those lands. Just look at the town names. France stole them. As they always did.

It is sad to see the German dialects in former Alsace-Lorraine are now going extinct. Strasbourg was once one of the greatest German cities and a birthplace of the Protestant Reformation.
The extinction of Crimean Gothic is so sad
They were so alone and isolated

Did you know some Anglo-Saxon refugees from England also settled in the Crimea after the Norman bastards conquered England.
So that means nobody, even 1 old ppl does not speak the old Crimean Gothic language? :(

Ι am Greek und ich kann Deutsch, ik spreek vloeiend nederlands and now I want to learn dansk.
1. Deutsch (German)
Beautiful and expressive. It was my favourite school subject! There are so many German authors I like. The list is endless.
2. Nederlands (Dutch)
It sounds great to me (I like ALL accents, but I guess that a lot of foreigners would prefer the smooth southern and Flemish accents, and Belgium is an amazing country anyway). What's more, if you know Dutch, you can learn Afrikaans in practically no time. What are you waiting for?
3. Dansk (Danish)
It gives you access to an interesting culture (it reminds me of the Varangian Guard in Constantinople, Byzantium). Danish has some unique and intriguing sounds that you'd never expect to hear in your entire life and, once you've learnt it, you can instantly understand most of Norwegian and Swedish, but NOT the other way round!
Fortunately, I can practice all three languages on the Greek islands each summer. :)
I'm from Belgium(Flanders). I also love Greek culture, in Belgium we can learn about classic greece and rome and this are my school subjects! I can't really speak Greek, but I know some words and can read the alphabet

Here in Bavaria we still roll the R like that naturally but these days most germans make fun of it. Some Hessians and Thuringians still do that too, depending on the area and of course many areas in Austria still do that too.
Glad you like it, not many do and also nice to hear that you care about your forefathers!
Chartreux Im from Brandenburg which is Prussia and we dont roll the R but we also dont make fun of it.
Chartreux In Austria you hear both "r" s depending on the word
Chartreux That's not German though, it's Swedish.
It's actually Swedish. German sounds quite different and the "R" is not thrilled in High German (but some dialects).
Fantastic song! I'm a native speaker of English from several nonwhite groups with very troubled histories in the West, but nonetheless, as a lover of languages and cultures, my fascination with and appreciation for Germanic languages and their phonetics has grown and grown in recent years. I wish we could bring more Old English words, phonetics, and grammar constructions back into modern English
So glad you included Faroese! We are usually forgotten and focus only put on Icelandic, the closest relative of Faroese.

You showed the German language in the boundaries since 1945. But Germany has lost significant parts since 1919 especially in the east.
There were not only Yiddish speaking jews in Eastern and South Eastern Europe but millions of German speaking communities in almost every country from the Baltics to Serbia, from Czechia to the Volga in Russia.
How fast history is forgotten...
Elzas and Lotharingen were (and are) Germanic speaking areas as well.
Everything east of the Rhone. From Metz to Mühlhausen...
And Duinkerken is not called Eglises des Dunes... for a reason...
Peoples and languages should be separated, because of adaption and integration.
The Franks were Germanic and I do not see them in your video as such.
The Merovingian dynasty had Paris for their capitol, after Doornik.
So the entire area between Normandy and Swiss is simply forgotten.
And Normandy itself is Germanic though the language is Romanic.
And Germanic languages did spread not only to Africa but to the Americas as well.
I've heard that some North Americans indeed speak somekind of English.
Even in the Caribbean and South America Germanic is spoken.
@@dutchman7623 Indeed it's Flemish
*It's FRENCH.
Romance, not Germanic.
Why weren’t East Prussia, Silesia, and Pomerania shown as German speaking before 1945?
Because the person who made this video is either stupid or a liar.
Which actually is shown here. But the expansion of the German language until East Prussia and the Baltics is missing.
Rom_troy, hm. Yes, but because the Germanics were accultured by the Slavs, especially East Germanics. In 12-14 century there were a great wave of Germanic settlers to the East.
Rom_troy, how do you come up with language change? The most Germanic people in the east changed their languages to a slavic idiom, that' s also an accultural thing. The most Polish are from Germanic descent.
And like the Norwegians in Bergen and the Traders from The Hanseatics they merged languages to become a language of trade and communication .

Have you heard about Anglish? its amazing its main aim is to get rid of the French Latin and Greek words in English, check this out
Here is a little tale in clean Anglish The Anglo Saxon folkmurder began in the 11th yearhundred when the Normans raided England and took over, the speech spoken at the time saw a lot of inwork from the outlander speech, the outlander thrtchness laster for over 300 years and the English speech that steamed from Old English shifted a lot, The Anglo Saxon selfhood and folklore was lost and thus many words in Today's English are fathomsome from other Germanic speeches like Dutch and German, in the time when the Normans took over, Anglo Saxon became the speech of the folk while Norman was the speech of the kingship and stewardship, this is why clean Germanic words are those seen in mostly mean speech, while outlander words are seen in stewardship, law, knowledgecraft, starcraft, lifelore, blendlore, folktale, Earthlore, Shapelore, Earthcraft, Allworldcraft, Shirecraft among many other things as well of the months of the year that are named after outlander godlore The months of the year in Old English are
After Yule

Month Of Three Milkings

@The505Guys "tongue" is a synonym to "language" although it's less common to hear in speech than "langauge".
With more than 80% of the vocabulary composed of words of Latin origin since Britain was a Roman colony for more than five centuries and the Germanics arrived in Britain the same way they arrived in Iberia after the Romans you say that the English language is Germanic? No way.

Hell no!
Low German is still spoken by at least 1-2 million people and 10 million people are able to understand it. It's also told in school in some northern German states.
The similarities with English and Dutch are still apparent.
Dutch is a low germanic language in the netherlands we speak offially 3 languages that belong to low german dialects. Standard dutch/(comes from old frankish)
nedersaxisch ( low saxon)
Frisian ( closest to old english )
Nee
With a little bit of effort 16 milion people in the Netherlands understand the Low German variations in the north of Germany. Almost mutual intelligible.
I do understand the Bremen dialect and East Frisian. Sometimes i look german television program ndr with low german speech.
Yeah low German is much better. Like English , Dutch and the Norse languages. What is with those weird high German consonant mutations: pf, z not t, d not th, no w sound. It is more outlandish.
Nice video. But Gothic presence in Ukraine was actually on both banks of the Dnieper river (or Danpar - as Goths called that river). In Ukraine it is called Cherniakhiv arch. culture by the scientists, as Cherniakhiv is the village near Kyiv (Kiev) where the first bural place of Goths was found. Goths were a tribal union, which also included Skirs and other Germanic tribes. Their legendary state of Oium was from the Pripet and the Desna rivers in the North to Black Sea and Crimea in the South, and from Carpathian mntns. to the Seversky Donets river in the East. Archeologists still dispute were was the Goths' capital mentioned in Scandinavian sagas as Arheimar - city of Goths on the Dnieper (also known as Danparstadir). There are 2 arch. places of Goths to be that one: in Kyiv or the ancient Gothic polis founded near modern Dnipro city. The linguists still admit a great linguistic influence of Goths on the Slavs in modern Ukraine (as well as in Poland). Ukrainians still say "khata" (hut or house - Hütte in German), "dakh" (roof or Dach in German), "strumok" (stream or Strum in German),"malunok" (Mahlen in German) and many others. And one more important thing that must be admitted in on the map. The second Germanic invasion was during Kievan Rus period in 9-13 centuries. Kievan Rus was a polyethnic medieval state ruled by Normanns. Normann invasions were usual at that time. The Byzantian chronicles of 10th century mentioned the names of the folk of Rus who came in 945 to fight to Constantinople from Kiev (Koenugard) lead by their king Ingvar - all those names were Scandinavic. Later Kiev Normanns were slavicized - that was typical for Normanns in France and Italy - they took the local languages. The names of Kievan Rus kings of normannic Rurikid dynasty were adopted and became usual in modern Ukraine, Belarus and Russia: Oleg (from Helg), Olga (from legendary konigin Helga), Igor (Ingvar), Alla and others. Another interesting fact is that accordind to the male DNA Ukrainian men are more than 50% of Slavic origin and only from 5 to 10% (depends on the region) of Germanic one. But according to female mythochondric DNA Ukrainian women are 80% of Baltic and Germanic origin). That fact shows a typical situation of those cruell times: the conquerors took the women of defeated enemies for wifes or slaves. Gothic Oium was fallen under the Hunnic nomad invasion lead by Attilla. The Nestor chronicles of Kievan Rus also start the history of Kiev with the story how the Gothes were defeated by Hunns: "Sebo Gotski devy krasne po Dnepru plačut za mužamy svoma Gunamy ubiyesha" (transl. "Pretty Gothic girls cry down the Dnieper for their husbands who were killed by Huns". Although West Goths (Visigoti) left the territory of modern Ukraine, Ostrogoti stayed on its territory for a long time, especially Crimean Goths, who created the unique medieval state of Theodoro in Crimea and existed till 17 century (then they were conquered by Osman empire, turkicized and islamisated, and as well as local assimilated Greeks and Genueses became a part of modern Crimean Tartars nation - a national minority in Crimea).
The Norman theory originated in Sweden in the 17th century. The key word is "theory". In addition, in the story of bygone years, it is written that the Noriks are Slavs (about the origin of the Slavs). However, this is not discussed anywhere and no one connects Norikum with the Slavs.

Going by the R1a geneology, all of the Eurasian languages have originated from Sanskrit.
@My Father I have damn solid proof for what I say. What is the PIE language which has been said to be the language of the original 'Aryans' of Eurasia but has no historical record & is only a piece of imagination like the Ayan invasion theory.
@Dea Adrestia I'm saying this again that what's PIE, which has no mention prior to 150 years when European 'indologists' with links to missionaries like Max Mueller formulated the Aryan Invasion theory but can't prove it till date. The original 'PIE' was Sanskrit which originated in India & all other Eurasian languages are a product of it when Indic tribes spread far & wide beyond India.

The video completely ignores that Silesia, Pomerania, West- and East-Prussia were inhabited by Germans since the Middle Ages and thus gives falsified information. I assume it's because these regions were annexed by the allies after WWII from NS-Germany, so apparently history must be re-written, to make it look as if these regions were never German. I wonder why the "5 million Yiddish speakers" are much more important than the 12 million East-Germans that were driven out of their homeland or murdered after the war?
Spot on and about the Germans in Russia, Slovenia, and Northern Italy.
right on.
I don't know what you mean. The video is supposed to be about Germanic languages, not the Baltic states.
Yes, in the early middle ages that territory was occupied by Slavs, who came from the east, as the Germanic tribes who lived there before had been unhinged in the migration period.
No it doesn't! Watch the video again.
The split between East Norse and West Norse didn’t occur 600 AD but rather 800-900 AD. Also Norse didn’t just split into two parts but three, namely West Norse, East Norse and Old Gutnish.

I am albanian and I know German and I like it. This song is amazing.
Languages have evolution and they can change with the time. Germanic peoples did spread in middle age period and so did also Slavs and also Arabs. Germanic peoples did conquest West Roman Empire and Slavs came in the Balkans, Arabs did conquest North Africa.
Albanian survived as Thraco-Illyrian language.
Albanian and Greek are the 2 Proto-Balkan Languages.
Beste wünsche an alle Germanischen Völker.
It is still a great dispute on origin of Albanian language. A few mentioned words from Illyrian and Thracian languages (both groups are considered as extincted) doesn't allow to make a conclusion that Albanian is from Illyrian or Thrakian origin. Most of scientists consider that Albanian could not descent from Thracian because Albania is in western part of Balkans which was populated mostly by Illyrians (Thracians were mostly in eastern Balkans on the territory of modern Bulgaria, Romania and eastern Serbia). But Balkan peninsula was populated not only by Illyrians and Thrakians. As you wrote, there were many Paleobalkanic folks close to Greeks, part of them migrated to Anatolian peninsula, another part stayed on the Balkans (Phrygians, Bythinians etc.) which languages did not come to our time. So it is very difficult (or maybe impossibile) to definite the origin of Albanians. The only proved thing is that your language is of Indo-European family origin and descents from so-called Greco-Albano-Armenic branch of that family which separated from the family after Anatolian branch separated. If we talk about Illyrians, they lived mostly in Pannonia (mostly modern Hungary up to the Danube) north-west of Balkan peninsula (modern Bosnia, Croatia, western and southern Serbia, northern Albania and east of Northern Macedonia). Last time there is a position that Illyrians were close to Italic and Venetic groups of Indo-Europ.tribes, that means that Illyrians came to Balkans from north (Central Europe). But there are also other theories. So the question of origin of Albanians is still open. Albanians also can be the only descendants of numerous IE groups which extincted.
You are right it’s stil an open question but majority of historians agree that albanian is descendant of a Paleo-Balkan language. Another big possibility is that albanian is descendant of ancient Dacian. Dacia was in Romania and Roman Empire maked that Dacians speak Latin and that’s why more than 90% of Romanian is Latin and some is Slavic too but there are also more than 300 Dacian Words which are connected to modern Albanian.
Like words ´ bardh, avull, iriq, etc ´.
Majority of historians think that Albanians are descendants of Illyrians but some think also Dacians or Thracians.
What happened is this, Slavs came invade the Balkans and make many assimilated in Slavic language and some others were pushed to south of Balkans.
I hope that with the time more will be discovered.
Another thing is that the only recorded language of an Illyrian tribe is from the Messapians ( Illyrian tribe that lived in south east Italy) many scripts in stone are found and many words can have albanian meaning but it’s not enough to say if it’s really a descendant language of albanian, more research have to be done.
I kinda wish those extinct languages could be revived again😢

Excellent video. And to my knowledge no mistakes.
A lot of German speaking areas between 10th and 20th Century are lacking:
1. Silesia, Pomerania, Prussia, Zips, Sudetes have been German speaking areas for nearly 10 Centuries.
2. Catherine the Great of Russia took Millions of Germans into the Russian Empire. That lead to majorly German speaking areas. They even found a autonomous area at Wolga river.
3. Austria settled a lot of Germans in today Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary. E.g. Siebenbürgen.
4. Millions and millions Germanic people settled in America as originally Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, German, English etc.
5. Same in Namibia, Australia, New Zealand.
6. Al lot of Germanic people moved to South America e.g. Chile, Argentina, Brazil.
7. Germanic people founded the crusader states in Middle East around 11th and 12th Century.

About the Norman raid of England and the French (influence) on English, the main of Anglish is to get rid of the Roman and french words in English
Here is a little tale in clean Anglish The Anglo Saxon folkmurder began in the 11th yearhundred when the Normans raided England and took over, the speech spoken at the time saw a lot of inwork from the outlander speech, the outlander thrtchness laster for over 300 years and the English speech that steamed from Old English shifted a lot, The Anglo Saxon selfhood and folklore was lost and thus many words in Today's English are fathomsome from other Germanic speeches like Dutch and German, in the time when the Normans took over, Anglo Saxon became the speech of the folk while Norman was the speech of the kingship and stewardship, this is why clean Germanic words are those seen in mostly mean speech, while outlander words are seen in stewardship, law, knowledgecraft, starcraft, lifelore, blendlore, folktale, Earthlore, Shapelore, Earthcraft, Allworldcraft, Shirecraft among many other things as well of the months of the year that are named after outlander godlore The months of the year in Old English are
After Yule
Mudmonth
Month Of Wildness
EasterMonth
Month Of Three Milkings
Before Midsummer

Translated in to Dutch that would be: De anglo saksische volksmoord begon in het elfde jaarhonderd wanneer de Normandiers Engeland binnen vielen en over namen. de spraak die destijds gesproken werd zag veel inwerking van de uitlanders/buitenlanders ??????? duurde voor meer dan 300 jaar en de engelse spraak dat afstamt van oud engels verschoof veel, de Anglo saksische zelfheid/identiteit en volklore was verloren en dus veel/menige woorden van de spraak in vandaags/hedendaags engels zijn doorgrondelijk/oorspronkelijk uit andere germaanse spraken zoals neder-duits/nederlands en duits, in de tijd wanneer de normandiers het over namen, Anglo Saksisch werd de spraak van het volk terwijl normandisch the spraak van de koning en adel/adelheid was, dit is warom schoone/zuivere/pure germaanse woorden die het meest gezien zijn in gemene spraak terwijl de uitlandse/buitenlandse woorden gezien worden in rentmeesterschap, etc etc etc Some words literally translated are not used in modern dutch in that context like outlanders literly is uitlanders but dutch would use outsidelanders buitenlanders so i placed the more correct dutch version behind a / But if said people would most likely understand it. thrtchness i could not make anything of it, google said thirst/dorst, so a big ???? and all the professions mentioned wel craft is a cognative false friend with kracht in Dutch and kraft in German but in Dutch and german it would be used for power where it is used in a skill in English and lore would be overlevering in modern dutch just like a tale i guess? because in dutch it is only used in volklore/folklore because english and Dutch use a slightly different word order in some cases i tried to keep it as realistic to both the original text and correct Dutch so i had had to change it here and there but also changed the modern spoken dutch word order a bit here and there to to stay in the line of the original text without making it in to klingon for Dutch speakers So in modern dutch it would be slightly different in the most common use but its not incorrect grammar yet, so now i'm curious how understandable dutch is for people who try to speak Anglish compared to people who only speak English. With written text from early old English and early old dutch 6th 7th and 8th century, written by monks it is almost impossible to determine where it is written so close is old Dutch and old English alike
it’s ugly now

Low German 300 000?
In the Netherlands alone there are at least 1.5 million people who speak Low German, then the people in Germany are not even counted...
There also Germanic speakers in Brazi which arent inlcuded.
Are you a Dutch or German speaker, yourself?
Why are you asking?
Nope, but the German community there is bigger and more alive than some can imagine.
I can speak Dutch and German, but I dont see how I can help you.
Basically you completely forgot that from the middle ages on, Pomerania, Prussia and Silesia were german-speaking. That ended in 1945 when the whole population there was expelled.
:)
In Poland, the Germans were newcomers, just like the Jews in Germany.
Sorbs Lusatian still live in Germany.
The Slavic and Germanic peoples invaded each other, conquered, ...
I LOVE your history videos 🤗as I've been trying to find videos like these for a while.
I was wondering, can you do a video like this for the Indo-Aryan languages? Because I think that's the only Indo-European ethnolinguistic group you haven't made a video like this for until now..
Anyways, love ♥ the video 👍!
Greetings to Germanic peoples from an Albanian ( Illyrian)
@Jasta 2 I am stil happy that albanian survived and also baltic (also Basque and Celtic). In the world history as you know, many Empires did conquest others and some were forced to assimilate.
Some nations did "eat" other nations in invading them or colonisating them. Some languages did spread and others became less and some did also disappear (like old egyptian, hittite, tocharian...)
Even if Spanish did conquest the Aztec empire, many Aztec words became international (like Tomato, Chocolate, ..) Before Aztec had a big Empire and today only 1 million of Mexicans speak Aztec (Nahuatl)
Interesting presentation!
There are way more than 300.000 Low German speakers, there are already more in the North and East of The Netherlands alone.
The old dialect of Gotland is more closely related to Gothic than the other Scandinavian languages/dialects. On Gotland today they speak a Swedish/Gotlandish dialect. The grammar of the old Gotlandic dialect (Not classed as language by Swedish gov yet) is more simular to the Gothic grammar. What I´ve learned is that Swedish is not derived from eastern norse the eastern norse was spoken at some point on the eastern islands like Gotland and Öland, Swedish and Danish what I understand comes from the Central/Mainland Norse language. Norwegian/Islandic and Faeroneese is from western Norse.
Where did you get the english words in the Futhark style runic letters? It's really cool and an interesting way to bridge the gap between the two languages.
I love Germanic languages so much.
My great grandmother spoke high German while she was at home with my grandpa when he was a kid
beautiful music!!!
Bro appreciate the content keep making it man
Nice video. As a Dutch, I am proud to be part of the Germanic language group society. Let's preserve our Germanic languages.
Germanic 🇩🇪 Anglo-Saxon 🏴 and Viking Norse 🇳🇴 History is very Interesting!
Fairly accurate. Not totally accurate.
Let’s start at the 33 second mark, which asserts that the Northern, Western, and Eastern Germanic dialects all separated at 250BC. This is inaccurate because the Eastern Germanic branch clearly separated from the rest first. Eastern variants like Gothic show Verner’s Law only half-formed, thus indicating the linguistic change was just beginning when those tribes headed toward the Black Sea. In addition, there are several characteristics that both the Northern and Western branches share, such as a complete Verner’s Law and the first instances of umlauting that the Eastern branch lacks. Thus, a consensus exists that it was not the case that all three subgroups of the Western branch separated at the same time as the Eastern branch separated. The latter occurred first.
Now for the more complex part.
At the 40 second mark, the video claims the Western branch separates into the three separate subgroups of North Sea Germanic (yellow), Weser-Rhine Germanic (orange), and Elbe Germanic (red) about 100BC.
This is way too early, as there are several linguistic changes that all Western Germanic languages share and there would have had to have been a time period where they occurred. Gemination (lengthening of the sound, sometimes doubling the letter) of consonant before “j” and sometime before “r” and “l”, the development of the gerund, and the hardening of “ð” into “d” are just some examples. 100BC is a much better fit for this stage of development alone, and not the triple split of the Western Germanic as well.
And here is why I think the video puts the Western subgroup separation too early at 100BC.
The lead tribe of the Germanic revolt against the Romans at the Battle of Teutoberg Wald (9AD) was the Cherusci. Pliny the Elder in “Natural History” would peg the Cheruski as grouped with the Chatti and the Hermanduri in 79AD, indicating they were part of the Suebian identity first attested by Julius Caesar in 61BC.
Tacitus ascribed both the Anglii and the Lombards to the Suebian indentity, indicating the the Elbe Germanic subgroup hadn’t fully separated by 117AD. The Anglii would become the Angles of the famed Anglo-Saxon migrations to the island that now bears their name, England, but at this point they are probably still speaking proto-Germanic, not the North Sea Germanic they would after the split. We are still waiting for the Elbe Germanic subgroup to separate.
Both Strabo in 20AD and Tacitus in 117AD place the Lombards on the lower Elbe river. Cassio Dio would report in 166AD that the Lombards would be turned back to their homeland in the lower Elbe river (their home a century earlier) after their defeat in a battle during the Marconnanic Wars in Pannonia, giving us evidence to believe still that the Elbe Germanic tongue was still in use there. Perhaps their reportedly-agricultural nature kept them anchored to that land, and thus anchored to proto-Western Germanic.
In the year 300AD the Codex Gothanus would report that the Lombards had resisted a Saxon incursion, but the Lombards would leave their lower Elbe homeland permanently by the late 300s due to bad crops, as confirmed by archeological studies to the southwest of the modern Hamburg, Germany. Those left behind, like the Cherusci, were absorbed into the Saxon confederation, where Elbe Germanic linguistic elements are still speckled among the southwestern border languages of Saxon territory.
The Lombard tongue would eventually migrate south to northern Italy through the route via Pannonia that had been used since the Marcomannic Wars, making it the southernmost tongue descendant from Elbe Germanic. According to the Ravenna Cosmography, a Vatican-ordained geography compilation, in 489AD the Lombards broke through to lands south of the Alps, and that language they entered what is now northern Italy can be confidently categorized as a form of Elbe Germanic through an analysis of the monarchal names which identify the effects of the early High Consonant Shift, which began in the 2nd to 4th centuries.
By the 3rd century, with the Chauci, Cherusci, and remaining Lombards absorbed by the Saxons, and the western tribes forming into the Franks, we see a full separating of the three Western Germanic subgroups. The remaining Germanic tribes would eventually separate into the Weser-Rhine and North Sea Germanic groups, but would be mutually intelligible to go onto sharing a reduction of class 3 weak verbs. Class 3 verbs, also known as stative verbs, are verbs that describe a state rather than an action.
Thus, the video’s assertion that the full tri-partition of the Western Germanic occurred in 100BC is anywhere from three to four centuries off.

Funny how Denmark was first west-Germanic speaking
Yea, the danes first migrated there in ca. 400 AD.
Great video. But you forgot Silesia, Pomerania and East Prussia in the Maps until WWII
And West Prussia, Posen, eastern parts of Brandenburg and Sudetenland.
How the hell did you forget the Germans in Eastern Europe??? There were more than 17 million German speaking people in Eastern Europe before 1945 that had lived there for generations, thats twice the population of Sweden. I mean maybe the Volga Germans or the Carpathian Germans or the Baltic Germans are too niche for you to know (although they also numbered in the millions), but the German speaking regions in modern Poland and Czechia are literally what started WW2!!
such a beautiful language family ❤️

Germanic languages seem very harsh compared to slavic and Romance languages but i love them, i'd like to speak German and Norwegian one day.
I don't know about that! I think the Germanic words in English are fantastic such as Witchcraft, crafty, FolkLore, Folk, Kinship, Kintra, Cantrip, Smart, Wordsmith, Warlock, Witch, Gobby, Aye, Lad, ache, Goblet, forsake, woe, sore, allegiance, alive, frain, herald, guise, behast, blessing, belief, Belly, trendy, swanky, Chilly, Bull, feel, earth, dirt, hallowed, Kind vs....
.....Latin words prior, pain, rage, response, inquire, adventure, benefit, commerce, creed, colour, Flower, construct, purchase, veal, career, stylish, esteem, dine, finish, rapid, primary , liberty ect..
Beautiful music.
East german territories were also speaking german
I love the music where can I find more like it ?
Why didn’t you show off the Eastern Germans, Transolvanian-Saxons, and the Prussians?
Because Prussians werent germanic, the most of them were just germanizated slavs.
Killing culture and language wont change that 'cause they still had slavic blood. Trully Germanic was only arystocracy which ruled this country and German settlement in these areas, which, however, could never dominate the indigenous people.
@@czmychal But the Romanian Saxons were germanic
Fun Fact: The Transilvanian Saxons, are not saxons, the are mosel-franconians (Luxemburgish or Limburgish)
@@czmychal The ancient Prussians were Baltic not Slavic. Ancient modern day Poland was a mix of Germanic and Baltic. Modern Slavs didn't enter the picture until late antiquity.
@@czmychal The Prussians are the Balts

Hello, can anyone please tell me the name of the background music which is being played?
@Falkenberg Thank you Brother🤝
I may be hispanic but i'm often fond of the Germanic, Nordic and Baltic people of it's history and origins.
The Suebi and goths migrated to Hispania and intermarried the locals there. You probably have a a bit of blood from them.
Spanish people were mainly celtic heritage until germanic people migrated there and mixed. But even Celtic and germanic people are closely related genetic wise and culturaly. You are related to them aswell.
@@Leodachef1 You are absolutely right. Look up genetic distance Fst Europeans. Surprisingly (or maybe not, depending on how much history you know) the Iberians are 3 to 10 times more similar to the French (excluding Bretons) than the Iberians are to the Italic peoples, which is what most people think of due to them both being southern Europeans. And when we say "Iberians" today we are referring to the same people the Greco-Romans used the often repeated phrase "Celts and Iberians" for. There is also a bunch of new research into the Celto-Germanic linguistic branch showing they shared much of their cultural evolution through time together and apart from the Italic peoples. Iberians are still Celtic and Celtiberian to this day, their genetic make-up has not changed since the Iron Age or earlier.
The word for God in Germanic languages has the same root with Persian word for God "Khoda" unlike other Indo European languages, just these two languages use this word, there was a tribe known as Gutians living in Iran near Zagros mountains, interestingly some of their kings had Germanic names like Tirigan, some scholars say they are ancestors of Modern Germanic people and related to Proto-Germans
Dokhtare for girl in persian is related to germanic words like Daughter (English), Tochter(German)... for female child.
Perhaps you should re-do some of your old language videos if they are too short.
