@WitchVillager
Well, the "old English" is closer towards "Lower Saxon/German language ", which still exists today all over the North of Germany along the coast lines (North Sea and Baltic Sea), and is spoken by about 5ish million Germans.
As it's its own language and quite different to "High German/Hoch Deutsch" you still had to learn the "High German ", because nobody would understand you in the "rest" of Germany 😊
Btw, my London born spouse doesn't understand "Lower Saxon language " at all (including my married on English family), but they all think it sounds quite nice and not as "hard" as "High German " 😊.
Some examples:
Lower Saxon = English
he, se, mie, yi = he, she, me, you
dat, wat = that, what
de = the
as = as
us = us
water = water
school = school
broken = broken
talk = talk
melk = milk
soster = sister
klock tein = ten o'clock
Of course the pronounciation is different to the English language...
Greetings from Germany 🙂

West -Germanic languages are: English, Dutch, Flamic, German
East-Germanic languages are:
Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
Lower-Saxon language = English
he, se, mie, yi = he, she, me, you
dat, wat = that, what
de = the
as = as
us = us
broken = broken
talk = talk
school = school
water = water
soster = sister
tell = tell
klock tein = ten o'clock
modder = mother (dd = th)
"De Welschen/the Welsh " the ancient Saxons were calling all those tribes which were living to the west (todays England) of their territory and it means " the other ones, the ones from abroad, the strangers ".
Until today you're "de Welschen/the Welsh " when moving into another town or small village in Lower Saxony.
Btw, there are still about 5ish million Northern Germans speaking the Lower Saxon language all along the coast lines (North Sea and Baltic Sea), and the Lower Saxon language is under Unesco world heritage protected as a "minority language", same as the Frisian language.
Greetings from Germany

@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, düütsch, deutsch".
The Celts were originally living at todays areas of Austria, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg/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.
Greetings 🖐

Tiny correction please = "Germanic" are all languages like = English, Dutch, German, Frisian, Lower-Saxon...Danish, Swedish, Norwegian ..
But German are the people...Germanic were all ancient tribes, like the Franks, Saxons, Jutes, Belgians, Dutch, Frisians, Vikings etc
So your Royals are very German...like all English, as all English people have by one third ancient Saxons DNA 😂

@augth NO.
You can't compare todays German language with the English language, you have to compare the English language with the Lower Saxon/German language...as the High German language isn't comparable with the Lower Saxon/German/Nedderdüütsch language...
Lower Saxon = English
he, se, mie, yi = he, she, me, you
dat, wat = that, what
us = us
de = the (dd = th)
(no : der, die, das)
water = water
school = school
broken = broken
modder = mother
soster = sister
open = open
klock tein = ten o'clock
etc, etc, the "r" is "rolled" like the Gaelic "r"
Even the todays "English word/term" Welsh origins from the Saxons, which were calling all those tribes, which were living to the west of their territory (todays England) "de Welschen/the Welsh", and the meaning is "the other ones, the ones from abroad, the strangers ".
One still gets called "de Welschen" in Lower Saxony/Germany, when moving into another town/village 😊
The Lower Saxon/German language is still spoken by about 4ish million Germans living in the North of Germany, all along the coast lines of the North Sea and Baltic Sea, and is a "Unesco world heritage protected minority language", like Frisian, Scottish or Welsh languages.
Apart from that : English, Dutch and German are West Germanic languages.
Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are North Germanic languages.
Hol di fuchtig met groetens ut Bremen 🖐
All the best with greetings from Bremen 😊

@CasabaHowitzer 😁
Yes, this guy, you responded to always write fact free stuff ..
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 😊
