The Romans called ALL tribes living to the right side of the river Rhine "Germanic", while those tribes which were living there didn't even call themselfes that.
The term "Deutsch" origins from the term "Thiutisk = us people", which evolved over the last 2.000ish years to "tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, dรผรผtsch, deutsch ".
Germany is the country with the most different names, given by the neighbouring ancient tribes, which were living to the ancient "Germanic tribes....like the "Alemannen, todays federal state of Baden-Wรผrttemberg", bordering todays France....etc ๐

Correct, and my answer was and still is = Lower-Saxon language still is in use until today....by about 4ish million Germans living along the coast lines of the North Sea and Baltic Sea ๐...and the simularity still is VERY visible ๐
Lower-Saxon = English
he,se, mie, yi = he,she, me, you
dat/wat = that/what
de = the (no : der, die, das)
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... ๐

Well, "de Welschen/the Welsh" the ancient Saxons were calling all those tribes which were living to the west of their territory (todays England), the meaning is "the other ones, the ones from abroad, the strangers".
Btw, 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 themselfes that.
Like you are calling yourself "Cymry", the "Germans" are calling themselfs "Deutsch"...
The term Deutsch origins from the term = Thiutisk = us people....and over the last 2.000ish years changed into tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, dรผรผtsch, deutsch ๐
There you go...๐

In case you're English, then about 30ish % of your DNA is Saxon DNA, all the other people coming over into todays England didn't leave any notable DNA in the English DNA.
About 10ish % of the English DNA is shared from ancient tribes from Danish/Jutes, Belgians, Dutch, Frisians, Normans.
The Lower-Saxon language is partly the root of todays English ...
Lower-Saxon = English
he,se, mie, yi = he, she, me, you
dat/wat = that/ what
de = the "dd" = "th"
us = us
as = as
water = water
school = school
broken = broken
open = open
beer = beer
modder = mother
klock tein = ten o'clock ...etc, etc...

@ami443 NO.
The Romans called ALL tribes living to the right side of the river Rhine "Germanic", while those tribes which were living there didn't even call themselfes that.
The term "Deutsch" origins from the term "Thiutisk = us people", and evolved over the last 2.000ish years to "tysk, duits, dutch, teutsch, dรผรผtsch, deutsch".
The Celts were originally living at todays areas of Austria, Bavaria and Baden-Wรผrttemberg/Germany, Switzerland and partly France, about 1.000 years later the Celts moved on towards todays Ireland and the UK.
West Germanic languages are English, Dutch, Frisian, Lower-Saxon and German languages.
North Germanic languages are Norwegian, Swedish and Danish.

Well, Frisian language same as Lower-Saxon language, both are the roots (partly) of todays English...and like all languages, they have their regional dialects as well...
As I'm speaking Lower-Saxon language, I see lots of simularities to todays English...
The words are very simular, or even the same, but get pronounced different, like
Lower-Saxon = English
he,se,mie, yi = he, she, me, you
dat/wat = that/what
de = the (no der, die, das)
us = us
as = as
water = water
school = school
broken = broken
open = open
modder = mother "dd" = "th "
beer = beer
klock tein = ten o'clock
etc, etc...
While Dutch people from around Groningen would understand Lower-Saxon language, English people won't get a word due to the very different pronounciation ๐

@kgbgb3663 ๐
Well, going through all those different languages, just to learn high German, would be quite a challenge...
Difference is, that high German language has
"the = der, die, das"
.......= male, female, neutral
best thing to learn that is straight away, and not "around the corner" by learning other languages first, which might be simular...could get a bit confusing ๐
Have a nice weekend with greetings from Bremen ๐
