  1. Three tribes, three dialects. Angles, Saxons, Jutes. All 3 are Scandinavian dialects, Danish dialects to be exact. The Anglo-Saxon dialect mixture produced Old English, and the Jutes dialect became the Scots. Both dialects are dialects of Scandinavian. When the Vikings came a knocking in the 700 ADs, they came to rob their cousins, with whom they knew how to communicate, very easily. The introduction of Norman French, into Old English in 1066, made English an actual language. Prior to that, the Anglo-Saxon and Jute dialects, were just that, Danish dialects. The Jutes who came into southern Scotland to settle, left enough of a memory on their Danish bretheren, that the Danish landmass that is attached to Germany, is called Jutland to this very day. And the reason why the Brits have such a problem with immigration, is because they know what happens when you allow unchecked immigration into your country. After all, they are the result of unchecked immigration. LOL

  2. I will add, that I think the Saxons were more Germanic than Scandinavian. Hence the Saxon people of Eastern Germany to this very day.
