What are the origins of the German ethnicity and other Germanic peoples such as the Austrians, Swiss, Dutch, Frisians and others? The German identity is a complex one, considering it is based off of thousands of years of complicated interactions between very diverse people groups, leading to the formation and rise of one of Europe's most prominent and formidable ethnic groups.
In today's video we will be discussing the origin and history of the German nation, or rather that of the continental Germanic tribes and peoples that would eventually evolve into the modern country of Germany that we see today. Thanks for watching!

Just so people know the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes invading Britain during the Anglo-Saxon period, carved out the largest amount of territory on the island and the Angles territory was eventually referred to as Angle land and eventually that became, guess what? England. Angle land=England.

They founded several kingdoms in Anglo-Saxon England, and their name is the root of the name England ("land of Ængle"). According to Tacitus, writing before their move to Britain, Angles lived alongside Langobardi and Semnones in historical regions of Schleswig and Holstein, which are today part of southern Denmark and northern Germany

@@elha3677 Thank you! I've been saying that for years. White-Americans are their own ethnic group, formed from a potpourri. There is no meaningful connection for them with their ancestral ethno-linguistic cultures. Though the Catholics tend to hold on to some traditions; and with the qualified exception of the children of immigrants, who almost always fully assimilate. HOWEVER, the defining characteristics of White-American culture are an extreme individualism, ahistorical progressivism, and a culturless-consumerist lifestyle. Because of this, White-Americans are an ethnicity that EXPLICITLY rejects the idea of being an ethnicity, or a People. American Conservatism is firmly rooted in this milieu. It is ironically the anti-ethnic ethnicity.

We have a desert in the north, mediterranean weather in the center, and fiords with glaciers in the south. We come originally from the Förh Island near Denmark. The first one of my family arriving here came trading in a ship, and since then most members of the family have been Navy Officers, so the need for the see is in our blood. Some 40.000 Germans settled here in the mid-late 19th Century invited by the local government. Since then a small but constant influx of Germans have been going on. Germans founded many towns and cities in the south of the country (Patagonia lake regions) which is very much like parts of Germany. The influence of Germans in Chile is disproportionate to our numbers, being one of the most influential communities in Chilean History, and certainly the best, hehe. All Chileans have much respect and admiration for Germans and German values. I think Germanic influence in the world has mostly not been through conquer nor empires, but through constant migration and settlements, demonstrating all over the world the success of high German values for everyone to admire.

But maybe that's changing as so much medical personal comes from Romania. The high esteem German products enjoy in Romania is also quite flattering. Even products that are not available in Germany are given a German appeal. Also some impressive old architecture and amazing landscapes. Definitely worth a journey, even without Romanian heritage.

A correction: The dialect of PIE that evolved into PGm went through the sound changes in Scandinavia and northern Germany, and Western Poland at the same time. Edit: Another correction: you cant use haplogroups to deduce genetic composition, only autosomal DNA can do that. Also note that Germanic and Slavic are both evolutions of an earlier united language. Edit again: "didn't have ethnic solidarity till 1800s" - Well the Germanic tribes described by Tacitus were part of a united tribal alliance that called itself Suebi, a term derived from a PIE root meaning "ones own" as in "ones own people." Its not exactly uncommon for people with mutually intelligible speech to look at themselves as an ingroup.

@@garlandstrife The Speech of 100 AD can be considered a late version of Proto-Germanic, it depends on how many sound shifts you require before it becomes truly Proto-Germanic. As for the degree of affinity to other IE families, Germanic and Slavic are much closer related to each other than many branches such as Anatolian, Tocharian, Indic, Iranic, etc. Do you have some recommended sources for Germanic being closer to Celtic and Romance than to Slavic? For a long time Ive been looking for a comprehensive discussion of the evolutions of "Classical PIE" into its daughter branches. From my understanding though Germanic has very archaic loanwords that can best be explained as loans from Proto-Balto-Slavic indicating an affinity.

@@wadestoss3325 While I don't have formal sources in hand, I'll search for them and share them with you. Germanic, Celtic and Romance are closer due to geographical proximity as well as historical contact between the three during different periods. The first proto-IE speakers that arrived to Central Europe were the direct ancestors of the three of them. Whereas Balto-Slavic was far from that Urheimat, they remained in the Pontic-Caspian steppe. The proto-IE speakers that went north are theorized to have assimilated an unknown substrate language of a pre Indo-European population that was endemic of the Baltic Sea coast and the Scandinavian peninsula, after that proto-Germanic came to be. Thus Germanic languages have features and vocabulary that are not found in other Indo-European languages. Balto-Slavic on the other hand was heavily conservative up until it was diversified thousands of years after the Germanic languages and families were already developed. There's almost a thousand year development gap between Germanic and Slavic languages, not to mention the geographical distance and lack of contact both populations had prior to the Middle Ages. The first contact between the Balto-Slavic populations and Germanic speakers was long after the Barbarian invasions. The Germanic vocabulary found in those languages was from that later contact. The Slavic expansion was westward to the lands vacated by the East Germanic tribes. The words that have a prior affinity are certainly from Proto-IE and not from any contact prior to the Middle Ages. Other thing to consider is that Germanic and Romance languages are centum languages, while Balto-Slavic are satem languages. This is a clear evidence of their historical and geographical distance. If you analyze the vocabulary of Romance, Celtic, Germanic and Balto-Slavic, chances are the first three are more similar than the latter. Balto-Slavic have almost all the original IE cases, whereas the other families have simplified their grammar over the centuries due to an earlier development and differentiation. Personally, I think it's easier for a Germanic speaker to learn a Romance language than a Slavic one. Romance speakers also have an easier time learning a Germanic language than Slavic. Slavic speakers could learn both easier because they have a much complex grammar and their languages are closer to what proto-IE was like.

The etymology of "German"/"Germanic" is hypothesised to come from any number of Celtic cognates meaning, varyingly, "neighbour", "battle-cry" or "noisy", or alternatively from native Germanic meaning "spear-man". The Latin 'germanus' meaning siblings is cognate to Spanish 'hermano', and likely has no relation to the name of the country or the peoples, but that is where the English word 'germane' comes from.

This is where it can be a little confusing, there are Anabaptists(amish, mennonites) who lived in the palatinate region of Germany. The Swiss German Anabaptists would occasionally flee to this region in small numbers. It's not clear to me whether they are of Swiss German stock wholly or not from my research. The Pennsylvania Dutch, are indeed a entirely separate people group and are not Anabaptists at all. They are Lutheran and immigrated from the palatinate.

AND its actually worse than that as since the end of WWII those amish who have immigrated into the US from Eastern Europe had been part of the Volga Deutsch community who also speak Palatinate-Deutsch from the early 1700s, still understandable by those in the Palatinate and (Northern) Bavaria. Very confusing since most 'Germans' of today have a very poor understanding of exactly what is Germany. Germans are focused on their STATE, not their country. FWIW .... during the 1970s the German Shoe Company ADIDAS conducted manufacturing in Kutztown, Pennsylvania (west of the city of Allentown) because the dialect spoken there since the late 1600s was completely understandable by those in the German headquarters of Adidas in Herzogenaurach (Northern Bavaria).

Basically, Amish and Mennonites, originally from Pennsylvania, are Pennsylvania Dutch. As are many from the old German Reformed Church, Protestants, who came from 'Germany' in the 1700's. It is a quite bit more than this, but it is what I learned growing up on a farm in South Central PA to German and Scot ancestors. As well as French by way of the Religion Wars in France, fleeing to Germany, then making way to America. So Amish are/were Pennsylvania Dutch, but not all Pennsylvania Dutch are/were Amish.

Basically, the Pennsylvania Dutch came from the Rhineland region of Germany in the late 1600s and early 1700s. They settled in east Germany and during the American Revolution, Pennsylvania had one of the highest German populations in the colonies. “Dutch” is an anglicized form of “Deutsch.” They aren’t actually Dutch. Their language actually comes from the Palatine German dialect.

The song defines the borders of Germany as the rivers Etsch (border between Italy and Germany), Maas(border between France and Germany), Memel (border between Lithuania and Germany) and the Belt (border between Denmark and Germany. Those were also roughly the actual borders of german speaking areas at the time of the songs creation. So expanding is clearly not the purpose of the song. It also mentiones unity, rights and freedom in the third stanza. You can only read it two ways, if you take the first line completely out of context. But you can read most things in multiple ways, if you take them out of context. And only the nazis (deliberately) misinterpreted the song, or the first line rather. And often left out the (second) and third stanza, as it clarifies the peaceful nature of the song.

Charlie Read The prominence of the Frisian gene and other “Germanic” genes in isolated rural communities is evidence enough that at least some of the previous inhabitants were Germanic. There were also reclamation laws from anglo-saxon rulers which took property from the people that the romans had brought in from Gaul and “returned” it their germanic cousins that lived there before the Roman conquest. The isles used to be connected to the rest of europe by an area called Doggerland. This area connected the isles to the Germanic areas of Europe, but this marshland sank at some point (can’t remember when exactly). So, the original inhabitants almost definitely were not celtic, but because they were somewhat removed from other germanic populations, it might be better to just call them Brythonic (as a sort of subgroup of Germanic) or something. Just not Celtic... i think the term celtic really shouldn’t be used at all. It’s been a shitty term since it’s invention in the 1600’s and has mostly been used for propaganda and fantasy since then. It is somewhat useful in linguistics but could be replaced rather easily.

This was surprisingly accurate and comprehensive - couldn't have put it better myself. In a lot of places scattered across the region sometimes referred to as Germania Slavica there is tons of naming anomalies in some cases even rooting back to celtic (basically whoever ruled would coin existing names of landmarks and cities into their respective language or dialect and with shifting rulers names would change quite frequently over the centuries). Now I will say that Germans are mostly a celto-germanic mix really with a noticable disparity between men and women - women generally more germanic and men more celtic in origin (not to mention the Czech who are on average more germanic in ancestry than Germans). As for myself being from Saxony I find it a bit odd how the Slavic past is sometimes swept under the rug while it is clearly part of our identity here and I'm looking into learning the Sorb language eventually given that I have family ties there. The Slavic Elba migration that triggered the brief period of Slavic dominance in now eastern Germany is definitely a fundamental part of Eastern German identity and in my opinion the most accurate term for Germans living in most of political eastern Germany nowadays (or ppl who descended from there) is "Wendendeutsche" given that it's historically accomodating and inclusive. This does not include Thuringians that much - they did have a massive influence on now Saxony tho and we share their German dialect for that matter (the Saxon dialect is technically a Thuringian dialect or sometimes referred to as "Easyerlandian"). Thuringians however are among the predominantly celto-germanic peoples and while they are for political/historical reasons classified as east Germans too they are for the most part not "Wendendeutsche" but rather closer affiliated with the Frankonians. However the "Wendland" region in nether Saxony and East-Holstein in Schleswig-Holstein while not technically "east-German" are part of the "Wendendeutsche"-Realm. I hope that in the future we will become more invested with the Slavic impact here again and pronounce it more as part of our identity (because it is part of it obviously) and simultaneously the Czech may become more invested in their celto-germanic rooting too. Poland is a whole other story tho and a completely different realm of essentially "Polendeutschen".

I don't speak German (only understand a little) but I remember my dad once having a conversation with a man who spoke Dutch. He said there were quite a few differences but they were both able to get the idea of what the other was saying.

I would love more information on the German speaking communities in west-central Kansas, where a portion of my German heritage is from in more recent times. Russell County, to be precise.

4:08 you got the geographic locales of the Ostrogoths and Visigoths mixed up my man. The Visigoths settled in Iberia and France while the Ostrogoths settled in Italy and the Adriatic. Hence Ostrogoths literally meaning the East Goths and Visigoths the West Goths.

I would really like to know more about the area of which is technically in the middle of the northern sea called Doggerland. I hopped on the 23 and me train when it first came out when it was a lot more information to be had from it and learned that even though I know especially on my dad side that is exclusively German I didn't realize how German I was. It was actually less so German but kind of a mix primarily German but also heavily British Isles. But I was interested to hear just how much concentration of my haplo group on the paternal side was specifically from the dog island area which as I understand it does not exist today and it's more or less the Atlantis of the northern sea. I don't know if you know anything about that but I know it's awesome and their flag as a potential pre-modern nation being more a Scandinavian type design is really awesome with the blue and orange and white colorings, Looking like a Scandinavian cross flag :-) I would really like to know if you do you know more about dog land and if you have any good resources to learn more about it but if you could do a video on DoggerlandI think that would be the coolest thing in the entire planet!!!! Thank you very much for the consideration and stay cool!😎🐸

10:42 that citation on the left is incorrect or at least in contradiction to the most recent u.s. census. I will have to double check but I think it’s double that figure of 23 percent.

It's actually quiet funny for me (German) to read and hear old english amd dutch bc by nature I can understand quiet a bit, sometimes even entire sentences and stuff Also, because I grew up in the sorbian diaspora, I can quiet relate to them. But they're getting heavily assimilated. 120+ years ago german was a minority language in the area. Nowadays a lot is being done to preserve their culture and language but I myself haven't learned sorbian, like my girlfriend did
