Omg you’re Scanian too haha?

Proto-Baltic is the closest language to Proto-Slavic. This languages evolved together.

yes, germanic and balto-slavic were close languages

I do believe so. I think that the Germanic, Baltic and Slavic languages are closer to one another than they are to other branches

possibly because proto-slavic inherited a lot of words from proto-germanic apparently

Because almost all of languages on europe is an indo-european language. (except for finnish, hungarian, which is part of the uralic language family, also basque, turkey which speaks turkish which is a turkic language, and many many more!)

What about the Low German?

As a swabian speaker, this example here was very inaccurate.

Theres a schwa letter on bavarian? Good to knoe.

It's "Water" in Low German.

Oooo, that would be very interesing!

Hello! Yes, please. Kindly email me. Otipeps24@gmail.com

It dependts from what region you are. As someone from Baden (south west) I could understand 100% of the Alsatian (but it was only a small sample ofc). Also the Swabian and Swiss were simple, but all the Low german variaties are a different language. Also Bavarian is not too lucid. But as a rule of thumb, even from town to town the dialects can differ greatly! If they don't want to be understand, they can make that happen. Not as extreme as in Norway but in the south of germany (including Austria and Switzerland) it can be very wild, and often unintelligible even for people that live in the neighbouring region.

@@alan_4766 Thanks. So can mostly everyone speak Hochdeutsch in Germany though? I’m planning on learning it and visiting one day.

@@Gizmonips I'm from Alsace, here's a ranking from most understandable to least: -Swiss german -Swabian -Bavarian -N Low Saxon -E Low Saxon -West Frisian -West Flemish -Both Jutish Also don't worry if you ever go to Germany, pretty much everyone knows Hochdeutsch unless you purposely deepen into countryside and/or talk to (very) old people. Matter of fact most people know how to speak english in Germany so it's not that big of a deal.

@@Gizmonips I have to agree with Alan_ and wahatafakbro: Virtually everyone speaks High German, even if some people in High German keep a regional accent. Most people can also speak English (a few older generations may be excluded) or at least understand it. Also my ranking as someone born in Swabia would be: - Swabian & Bavarian - Alsatian - Swiss German - E. Low Saxon - N. Low Saxon

@@alan_4766 Sweden has more unintelligible dialects than Norway does.

No, it's related to the Alemanis. The Franks were living in a place closer to where Frisian is spoken nowadays. Basically in the Netherlands.

Wes thu hal bicce!

Language is not a determinate nor connected to race. Languages beyond national boundaries expand across multiple phenotypes. Common English is full of Germanic characteristics and words which stem from a much older time just like other languages especially in dialects. Such connection between race and language ought to be avoided especially given the variance in phenotype and the pop-culture understanding of race being more simplified.

English ultimately has the same amount of germanic characteristics. Thematically Dipthongs are something that no other germanic language has kept besides English and or Icelandic, English grammar is germanic, 80% of all everyday spoken words are Germanic. The only thing that isn't Germanic is some pronunciation, and academic words.

It really doesn't. We do use a few french words but it sounds nothing like it.

@Alarich blasting facts right here, that couldn't be more true
