  1. The Vikings are also speaking Germanic languages 😂

  2.  @barkebaat  😂 No, it origins in the ancient Saxon times, as Westphalia was the = Western part of it, there was an eastern Phalia as well, and since 1945 the Brits put it together with the (Rhine-) region = North Rhine-Westphalia. The core of the territories of the ancient Saxons were living in todays federal states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Hamburg and partly Saxony-Anhalt (only the Saxony part), and partly in todays North Rhine Westphalia (the west/east- phalia part only).

  3. Yes. Infact todays English is based on Lower Saxon language...not so much on todays high German !! Lower-Saxon = English he, se, mie, yi = he, she, me, you dat/wat = that/what de = the "d " = "th" (no der, die, das) us = us open = open water = water school = school broken = broken clock tein = ten o'clock Lower Saxon language gets pronounced "German style" but with a "rrr" rolling "r" 😊 About 4ish million Germans living along the coast lines of the North Sea and Baltic Sea are still speaking Lower-Saxon language.. Lower Saxon = Nedder Düütsch Lower Saxony = Neddersassen Todays English term "Welsh" origins from the ancient Saxons, which were living in todays England, they were calling ALL tribes living to the west of their territory (todays England) = de Welschen/the Welsh, and the meaning is "the other ones, the strangers, the ones from abroad". The Dutch from the Holland regions and Germans speaking Lower-Saxon language can easily chat as well ... Greetings from Bremen 👋

  5. Moin. Had been in Norway last summer, and reading is really easy = looks virtually like Nedderdüütsch 😊

  6.  @pynn1000  It's actually a Lower Saxon term = klock tein = ten o'clock Klock hes tein slahn, tein is de Klock = used to be the call out of the night watchmen Meaning = the bell has struck ten, it's ten o'clock German = zehn Uhr

  7. IEnglish is declared to be a West Germanic language, same as Dutch, German, Frisian, Lower-Saxon !!

  8.  @kentix417  🙄 Again = read what I wrote = todays English is based on the Lower-Saxon language !! Lower-Saxon language IS NOT high German !! As a German speaking both languages , high German as well as Lower-Saxon language, I can confirm you that German people which don't speak Lower-Saxon language can't understand us nor English people either, but Dutch people from the regions in Holland can..
    2
  9. You have to listen or read Lower-Saxon language !! That's the language English is based on...
    2
  10. Same in Lower Saxon = snakken vertellen

  11. ​ @diegomartinez7180  Yes. It' origins on the ancient Germanic tribes, like the "Alemannen", todays federal state of Baden-Württemberg, bordering todays France... Depending on which ancient Germanic tribes where located to their neighbours, todays Germany's neighbouring countries are calling Germany = Saxion, Prussian, etc = Germany is the country with the most different names 😂 Greetings from Deutschland 👋🍻 Btw, the term "deutsch" origins from the term "Thiutisk = us people", and then evolved over the last 2.000ish years to = tuisk, tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, düütsch, deutsch" 😂
    2
  12. ​ @ReiKakariki 🙄😂 Nope. English is declared to be a West Germanic language, same as Dutch, German, Frisian, Lower-Saxon languages. Its roots are Lower-Saxon language and Frisian, NOT though todays high German !!
    2
  13. "Thiutisk = us people" the ancient tribes living to the right side of the river Rhine the people were calling themselves...opposit to the Romans, which were calling all tribes which were living to the right side of the river Rhine "Germanic". The term "Thiutisk" evolved over the last 2.000ish years to = tuisk, tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, düütsch, deutsch 😊
    2
  14. The Romans were calling ALL tribes living to the right side of the river Rhine = Germanic, while those tribes which were living there didn't even call themselves that. They were calling themselves "Thiutisk = us people", and that term evolved over the last 2.000ish years to = tuisk, tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, düütsch, deutsch 😊 In Lower Saxon language "low" is "nedder" hence Netherlands are the Lowlands Lower Saxon = English de = the
    2
  15. Nederlands.... Lower-Saxon language = Lower = nedder = Lowlands
    2
  16. As todays English is based on Lower-Saxon language, which also only has the "de" = "the"..., the "e" is pronounced the same as at the "the"...
    2
  17.  @WaterShowsProd  The Lower-Saxon language doesn't have noun genders either. It also has just "de" = "the", the "e" in "de" gets pronounced like the "e"in "the". Unfortunately high German always gets compared with English and the other Germanic languages, instead it should be compared with the Lower-Saxon language, as that is the root of todays English... Lower-Saxon language still gets spoken by about 4ish million Germans living along the coast lines of the North Sea and Baltic Sea. Lower-Saxon = English he, se, mie, yi = he, she, me, you dat/wat = that/what de = the "d" = "th" us = us as = as water = water school = school broken = broken open = open beer = beer soster = sister modder = mother "dd" = "th" klock tein = ten o'clock etc, etc Lower-Saxon gets pronounced the "German" way, but the "r" gets rrroled ...which might sound a bit "Scottish" 😁

  18. You know, that lots of them used to be already part of the Roman army and stayed in todays England, when the Romans left. Your ancestors were asking for help, to fight the attacks of the Picts... Considering the max size of those long boats could take 65 people...exactly... Please do an history Update 😊 Forgot to say = the ancient Celtic tribes were living in todays federal states of Bavaria/Baden-Württemberg/Germany, Austria, Switzerland and partly France and moved on towards Ireland and the UK about 1.000 years later. Us humans always were "on tour".

  26. @IkarusKommt  🙄 Oh dear...when the Europeans came to the American Continent, there were as many people living there as at the European Continent !! Man, read a book about the history of your Continent !!

  27. @IkarusKommt  🙄 Both Continents had about the same size of population = about 8 million !! We're talking about the time when the first Europeans entered the American Continent = 500ish years ago !! Eventhough it's not your Continent = it would be very helpfull to read up about facts !!

  32. Unfortunately high German gets used to compare with todays English or the other Germanic languages...it rather should be Lower-Saxon language instead !!

  33. ​ @laurencefraser  It's rather the Lower-Saxon language, unfortunately high German always gets compared with English and the other Germanic languages, instead it should be compared with the Lower-Saxon language. Lower-Saxon = English de = the No der, die, das "d" = "th" When my English sister in law visited us over here in Bremen, one shop had the sign out = wi hept open 😁 Pronounced the German way = we have open would be the "English" version 😂 She looked a bit confused, when reading that ...

  39.  @MartialArtUK  Todays = English term "Welsh" origins from the ancient Saxons, which were calling ALL tribes living to the west of their territory (todays England) = de Welschen/the Welsh, and the meaning is "the other ones, the strangers, the ones from abroad". About 4ish million Germans living along the coast lines of the North Sea and Baltic Sea are still speaking Lower-Saxon language, which is the root of todays English.. The term "de Welschen" is still in use when people are moving into another village, as they're "de Welschen" the new ones/strangers in that village. 😁 Lower Saxon = English de = the "d" = "th" The "e" in "de" gets pronounced same as the "e" in "the"
    1
  40. @MartialArtUK  Nope, they're speaking gaelic.. But high German is NOT Lower-Saxon language, so in Lower Saxon it still would be Welsch/Welsh... Btw, you Brits are calling us how the Romans were calling us = German...and the English language gave Cymru the term "Wales" 🥳 The term "deutsch" origins from "Thiutisk = us people", and it evolved over the last 2.000ish years to = tuisk, tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, düütsch, deutsch 😂 So you're calling the Dutch = deutsch...😁 Btw, nice vids at your channel...used to do Tae Kwon Do 😎 Cheers 🍻

  41.  @MartialArtUK  OK, I thought, you're Welsh... couldn't find anything about Finns in ancient Scotland, only that the Highlands are of celtic/picts and the scottish lowlands not only Picts, Celts, but also the Jutes, Saxons etc were there...Well, as written before = us humans have been on tour all the time 😁 Cheers from Bremen...the territories of the ancient Saxons/Chaucii 🍻👋

  46. The Romans were calling ALL tribes living to the right side of the river Rhine "Germanic", while those tribes which were living there didn't even call themselves that, instead they were calling themselves "Thiutisk = us people ", and then evolved over the last 2.000ish years to = tuisk, tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, düütsch, deutsch 😂 Btw, the today English term "window" is Lower-Saxon language and the meaning is "wind eye".

  50.  @zidane8452  Well, French isn't a Germanic but a Romance language ONLY = nomen est omen ! And English is declared to be a West Germanic language by about 60ish %... So the OP was quite misleading... And most Germanic languages of today are using Latin, like every term ending with "ion" origins from Latin !!

  51. Nope. English is declared to be a west-Germanic language, same as Dutch, German, Frisian and Lower-Saxon... Todays English is based on the Lower-Saxon language...

  52.  @ThePraQNome  🙄 As more languages one is able to speak, as easier it is to learn other languages.... If people are monolingual only = the more difficult it is for them to have any understanding for other languages and how they work...
    1
  53. @ThePraQNome  Look, as written before = most Continental EUropeans are speaking at least 1, 2 or 3 other languages, Brits are mostly monolingual... Studies have shown, that 75 % of Brits don't speak a second or third language... About Lower-Saxon language = over the last 2.000ish years it mixed with Frisian...at least in Germany and the Dutch living at the two Holland regions can easily chat with people from north-west Germany when they speak Lower-Saxon language.. Hol di fuchtig met groetens ut Bremen 👋 All the best with greetings from Bremen

  54. No. But it's the same as the Lower-Saxon language term = snakken = to chat 😊

  55. The Romans were calling ALL tribes living to the right side of the river Rhine "Germanic", the Teutons were an ancient tribe living in todays border Region between Denmark and Northern Germany. While the tribes which were living to the right side of the river Rhine were calling themselves "Thiutisk = us people", and that term evolved over the last 2.000ish years to = tuisk, tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, düütsch, deutsch 😂

About "Saxony" = the federal state of Saxony is by name only Saxon, as it got its name due to in those days usual wedding politics, the people of todays Saxony are the descendants of the ancient Slavic tribes = the Sorbic people...and yes, they speak euther high German or the Sorbic language. The territories of the ancient Saxons were living in todays federal states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Hamburg and partly Saxony-Anhalt (only the Saxony part), the Lower-Saxon language is still spoken by about 4ish million Germans living along the coast lines of the North Sea and Baltic Sea. Lower-Saxon language = Low German, so yes, the language still exists, and is a Unesco world heritage protected minority language, same as the Frisian, Sorbic, Scottish and Welsh languages 😊

  84.  @WaterShowsProd  😊 Well, the ancient Saxons were living in todays federal states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Hamburg and partly Saxony-Anhalt (only the Saxony part). Todays federal state of Saxony is by name only Saxon, as it got its name due to in those days usual wedding politics, the people of todays Saxony are the descendants of the ancient Slavic tribes = the Sorbic people. The territories of the ancient Saxons didn't have "sound shift" like the rest of todays Germany, hence it never "discarded" the gender, since it never existed in the Lower-Saxon language 😊 When my English sister in law visited us over here in Bremen, one of the shop had a sign outside the shop "wi hept open" pronounced like "ve hapt open" = we are (have) open, she looked quite confused when I read it out to her 😁 Sett yi daal, wullt yi een Koffie or (sit you down, want/would you (like) a Coffee or) een Tee or wullt yi wat anners (a Tee or want/would you (like) what else) drinken? (drink?). Those sentences above might sound confusing to you, but when spoken and pronounced properly, you can here the simularity 😊 Just writing it here without hearing it sets limits, unfortunately... My London born spouse and people speaking high German only = don't understand Lower-Saxon language, but the Dutch living at the two Holland regions can easily chat with people from north-west Germany when speaking Lower-Saxon language 😁 And reading Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish is easy as well ...probably all related to the times of the Hanseatic League...as Lower-Saxon language was the official language at that time... Btw, todays English term "Welsh" origins from the ancient Saxons, as they were calling ALL tribes living to the west of their territory (todays England) "de Welschen/the Welsh", and the meaning is "the other ones, the strangers, the ones from abroad". Knowing, that the English get called "sassenachs", even there you're using Lower-Saxon language, as Sassen = Saxons. Hence = Lower Saxony = Neddersassen... "dd" = "th" = Netherlands = Lowlands 😁 And Dutch = well, you're actually calling the Dutch = German... It origins from the ancient term "Thiutisk = us people", which is what the ancient tribes living in todays Germany were calling themselves, and it evolved over the last 2.000ish years to = tuisk, tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, düütsch, deutsch 😂 Greetings to Cymru from Bremen 😊🍻
    1
  85. @WaterShowsProd  😊 No, high German and Lower-Saxon have the same roots = Indogermanic, but developed differently due to the sound shift, which happened all over Germany at 375/376, when the Huns arrived, not though in the regions, where the ancient Saxons used to live = as there the "Continental transmigration" didn't happen, when looking at a map, the people simply did a "short cut", moving rather south in a "straight line", considering the circumstances ... I've looked up about the German language, and Wikipedia has a very good description about it in English 😊 Very recommendable ! Btw, in Germany 5 languages get spoken = high German/the official language !! Lower-Saxon language/spoken all along the north sea coast/Baltic Sea coast lines Sorbic = spoken in some east parts of Germany /ex territories of the ancient Slavic tribes/Sorbic people Bavarian = Bavaria All of those languages have their regional dialects as well, like all languages have that. Wow, learning Asian languages sounds tough, as that includes learning the different writing as well ... I wish you all the best with very foggy greetings from Bremen 👋 🍻

Lower Saxon language gets pronounced the "German" way, but the "r" gets rrrroled 😁 Lower Saxon language gets spoken by about 4ish million Germans living along the coast lines of the North Sea and Baltic Sea...
