As a slav I'm trully fond of germanic languages, currently studying English, German and a bit of Swedish when I can spare some time. Cheers ! Skål! Prost!

Greetings to all my Germanic brothers and sisters out there 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇹🇩🇪🇳🇴🇳🇱🇨🇭🇩🇰🇮🇸🇸🇪

As a French born in Strasbourg (Alsace, FR) we speak a language very close to Luxembourgish and Swiss German called Alsatian (High German). I’ve heard this language during my whole childhood and it made me very familiar to Germanic languages such as German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and English of course. Very proud to be an Alsatian. Viele Grüass vum s‘Elsàssland! ❤️

The extinction of Crimean Gothic is so sad

Thanks for including Afrikaans. We have a history of being excluded. Ons waardeer dit baie.

Germanic languages are the best languages!❤️🙌🏻 From Germany to all our brothers!🇩🇪🇳🇱🇸🇪🇦🇹🇮🇸🇨🇭🇱🇺🇩🇰🇳🇴 Edit: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧❤️

There are Swedish speaking places on the Finnish coast that could've been highlighted.

Ι am Greek und ich kann Deutsch, ik spreek vloeiend nederlands and now I want to learn dansk. 1. Deutsch (German) Beautiful and expressive. It was my favourite school subject! There are so many German authors I like. The list is endless. 2. Nederlands (Dutch) It sounds great to me (I like ALL accents, but I guess that a lot of foreigners would prefer the smooth southern and Flemish accents, and Belgium is an amazing country anyway). What's more, if you know Dutch, you can learn Afrikaans in practically no time. What are you waiting for? 3. Dansk (Danish) It gives you access to an interesting culture (it reminds me of the Varangian Guard in Constantinople, Byzantium). Danish has some unique and intriguing sounds that you'd never expect to hear in your entire life and, once you've learnt it, you can instantly understand most of Norwegian and Swedish, but NOT the other way round! Fortunately, I can practice all three languages on the Greek islands each summer. :)

I have German ancestors from Prussia mostly. I love the German language so much. This song is gorgeous. I love the trill of the /r/ sound. 😍😍

Fantastic song! I'm a native speaker of English from several nonwhite groups with very troubled histories in the West, but nonetheless, as a lover of languages and cultures, my fascination with and appreciation for Germanic languages and their phonetics has grown and grown in recent years. I wish we could bring more Old English words, phonetics, and grammar constructions back into modern English

So glad you included Faroese! We are usually forgotten and focus only put on Icelandic, the closest relative of Faroese.

"Herr Mannelig" by garmarna the name of da song

It's just an wonderful video! Proud Germanic 🇩🇰/🇩🇪 ❤️

You showed the German language in the boundaries since 1945. But Germany has lost significant parts since 1919 especially in the east. There were not only Yiddish speaking jews in Eastern and South Eastern Europe but millions of German speaking communities in almost every country from the Baltics to Serbia, from Czechia to the Volga in Russia.

How fast history is forgotten... Elzas and Lotharingen were (and are) Germanic speaking areas as well. Everything east of the Rhone. From Metz to Mühlhausen...

Why weren’t East Prussia, Silesia, and Pomerania shown as German speaking before 1945?

If the germanic tribes that once inhabited Iberia were still around Spain and Portugal would be so much more efficient at everything.....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I am from Germany and this is very interesting..

Long live the Germanic peoples! Although I'm Slav,but I very respect all of You. You're nice people with the Great story and beautiful culture.

Loved the music!

As a English Man We always speaking in English and I love the Germanic languages 😁🇬🇧

It's very refreshing to see my Frisian people retain so much since ancient times

Low German is still spoken by at least 1-2 million people and 10 million people are able to understand it. It's also told in school in some northern German states. The similarities with English and Dutch are still apparent.

It is incorrect. East-Prussian, Silesian, Pommerana and so on are not in that Video. O.o

Nice video. But Gothic presence in Ukraine was actually on both banks of the Dnieper river (or Danpar - as Goths called that river). In Ukraine it is called Cherniakhiv arch. culture by the scientists, as Cherniakhiv is the village near Kyiv (Kiev) where the first bural place of Goths was found. Goths were a tribal union, which also included Skirs and other Germanic tribes. Their legendary state of Oium was from the Pripet and the Desna rivers in the North to Black Sea and Crimea in the South, and from Carpathian mntns. to the Seversky Donets river in the East. Archeologists still dispute were was the Goths' capital mentioned in Scandinavian sagas as Arheimar - city of Goths on the Dnieper (also known as Danparstadir). There are 2 arch. places of Goths to be that one: in Kyiv or the ancient Gothic polis founded near modern Dnipro city. The linguists still admit a great linguistic influence of Goths on the Slavs in modern Ukraine (as well as in Poland). Ukrainians still say "khata" (hut or house - Hütte in German), "dakh" (roof or Dach in German), "strumok" (stream or Strum in German),"malunok" (Mahlen in German) and many others. And one more important thing that must be admitted in on the map. The second Germanic invasion was during Kievan Rus period in 9-13 centuries. Kievan Rus was a polyethnic medieval state ruled by Normanns. Normann invasions were usual at that time. The Byzantian chronicles of 10th century mentioned the names of the folk of Rus who came in 945 to fight to Constantinople from Kiev (Koenugard) lead by their king Ingvar - all those names were Scandinavic. Later Kiev Normanns were slavicized - that was typical for Normanns in France and Italy - they took the local languages. The names of Kievan Rus kings of normannic Rurikid dynasty were adopted and became usual in modern Ukraine, Belarus and Russia: Oleg (from Helg), Olga (from legendary konigin Helga), Igor (Ingvar), Alla and others. Another interesting fact is that accordind to the male DNA Ukrainian men are more than 50% of Slavic origin and only from 5 to 10% (depends on the region) of Germanic one. But according to female mythochondric DNA Ukrainian women are 80% of Baltic and Germanic origin). That fact shows a typical situation of those cruell times: the conquerors took the women of defeated enemies for wifes or slaves. Gothic Oium was fallen under the Hunnic nomad invasion lead by Attilla. The Nestor chronicles of Kievan Rus also start the history of Kiev with the story how the Gothes were defeated by Hunns: "Sebo Gotski devy krasne po Dnepru plačut za mužamy svoma Gunamy ubiyesha" (transl. "Pretty Gothic girls cry down the Dnieper for their husbands who were killed by Huns". Although West Goths (Visigoti) left the territory of modern Ukraine, Ostrogoti stayed on its territory for a long time, especially Crimean Goths, who created the unique medieval state of Theodoro in Crimea and existed till 17 century (then they were conquered by Osman empire, turkicized and islamisated, and as well as local assimilated Greeks and Genueses became a part of modern Crimean Tartars nation - a national minority in Crimea).

Isn't it sad that the Goths conquered the most land but ended up getting assimilated by everyone. Ironic but kind of makes sense Anyways 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇪🇳🇱🇨🇭🇦🇹🇳🇴🇩🇰🇸🇪🇮🇸🇱🇮🇧🇪🇱🇺

I have been looking for something like this for a long time -- chronology of languages in tandem with tribes overlaid onto a map. Clever you are, and thank you so much! :-)

Beautiful channel which promotes the cultures and the human tribes of our word.

For those wondering the song is an old Swedish song called “Herr Mannelig”

always nice to learn something about my ancestors the germanic are what makes my country the netherlands and germany cousins/brothers in speece lets go germanics for germania

Very nice choice of music! Thanks for the video ♥

Wow learning about my family heritage is amazing thank you

Epic music, but would have appreciated a bit more accuracy! ;-) Germanic people have mixed and mingled with Finns since time immemorial. Swedish speakers have inhabited our coasts since the beginning of Middle Ages and Swedish is still the mother tongue of 5% of our population.

I want to marry this lady who sings this. Pure Germanic woman

Im from denmark, went to a German school and now can read dutch because of this?? Brilliant

The video completely ignores that Silesia, Pomerania, West- and East-Prussia were inhabited by Germans since the Middle Ages and thus gives falsified information. I assume it's because these regions were annexed by the allies after WWII from NS-Germany, so apparently history must be re-written, to make it look as if these regions were never German. I wonder why the "5 million Yiddish speakers" are much more important than the 12 million East-Germans that were driven out of their homeland or murdered after the war?

The split between East Norse and West Norse didn’t occur 600 AD but rather 800-900 AD. Also Norse didn’t just split into two parts but three, namely West Norse, East Norse and Old Gutnish.

Omg, I love Germanic languages, their flowy words and precise phonetics. Although I have problems calling English as phonetic, German and Dutch eases me on the other hand. Love frm ur Indo-aryan brother ❤:)

it's vary helpful video to know about the origins of europe great work !

Amazing video. Really good job

I am albanian and I know German and I like it. This song is amazing. Languages have evolution and they can change with the time. Germanic peoples did spread in middle age period and so did also Slavs and also Arabs. Germanic peoples did conquest West Roman Empire and Slavs came in the Balkans, Arabs did conquest North Africa. Albanian survived as Thraco-Illyrian language. Albanian and Greek are the 2 Proto-Balkan Languages. Beste wünsche an alle Germanischen Völker.

I kinda wish those extinct languages could be revived again😢

Where is the expulsion of Low German speakers in Poland and the Baltic States, High German speakers in Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia? Btw Swedish is spoken on the shores of Finland.

Germanic People are strong!

Dude, this video is awesome! I really love this. I have great interest in ethno-linguistics, especially in germanic languages. I knowed 80% ish of all this info, but having it all summed up on a map that evolves sums it all up perfectly. Also, the comment discussions are fascinating. This is the first video I saw from you, but you have earned yourself a sub! I will watch more once a bit of time frees up.

I am Georgian and I want to say that all Germanic languages are pretty❤️ This is my favourite group of languages I started to learn Icelandic

Excellent video. And to my knowledge no mistakes.

A lot of German speaking areas between 10th and 20th Century are lacking: 1. Silesia, Pomerania, Prussia, Zips, Sudetes have been German speaking areas for nearly 10 Centuries. 2. Catherine the Great of Russia took Millions of Germans into the Russian Empire. That lead to majorly German speaking areas. They even found a autonomous area at Wolga river. 3. Austria settled a lot of Germans in today Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary. E.g. Siebenbürgen. 4. Millions and millions Germanic people settled in America as originally Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, German, English etc. 5. Same in Namibia, Australia, New Zealand. 6. Al lot of Germanic people moved to South America e.g. Chile, Argentina, Brazil. 7. Germanic people founded the crusader states in Middle East around 11th and 12th Century. Please update the incomplete video. Thx in advance.

About the Norman raid of England and the French (influence) on English, the main of Anglish is to get rid of the Roman and french words in English Here is a little tale in clean Anglish The Anglo Saxon folkmurder began in the 11th yearhundred when the Normans raided England and took over, the speech spoken at the time saw a lot of inwork from the outlander speech, the outlander thrtchness laster for over 300 years and the English speech that steamed from Old English shifted a lot, The Anglo Saxon selfhood and folklore was lost and thus many words in Today's English are fathomsome from other Germanic speeches like Dutch and German, in the time when the Normans took over, Anglo Saxon became the speech of the folk while Norman was the speech of the kingship and stewardship, this is why clean Germanic words are those seen in mostly mean speech, while outlander words are seen in stewardship, law, knowledgecraft, starcraft, lifelore, blendlore, folktale, Earthlore, Shapelore, Earthcraft, Allworldcraft, Shirecraft among many other things as well of the months of the year that are named after outlander godlore The months of the year in Old English are After Yule Mudmonth Month Of Wildness EasterMonth Month Of Three Milkings Before Midsummer Midsummer After Midsummer Weedsummer Weedmonth Holymonth Winterfullmoon Bloodmonth Before Yule

Very interesting video and nice music!

You missed out East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia, plus other locations east of the Oder.

The music is so cool!

What is with Silesia, East Prussia, Sudetenland and more ? There was 90% german !

Ostrogoths and Gepids are my favourite germanic tribes!

Low German 300 000? In the Netherlands alone there are at least 1.5 million people who speak Low German, then the people in Germany are not even counted...

Basically you completely forgot that from the middle ages on, Pomerania, Prussia and Silesia were german-speaking. That ended in 1945 when the whole population there was expelled.

I LOVE your history videos 🤗as I've been trying to find videos like these for a while. I was wondering, can you do a video like this for the Indo-Aryan languages? Because I think that's the only Indo-European ethnolinguistic group you haven't made a video like this for until now.. Anyways, love ♥ the video 👍!

Greetings to Germanic peoples from an Albanian ( Illyrian)

Interesting presentation!

There are way more than 300.000 Low German speakers, there are already more in the North and East of The Netherlands alone.

The old dialect of Gotland is more closely related to Gothic than the other Scandinavian languages/dialects. On Gotland today they speak a Swedish/Gotlandish dialect. The grammar of the old Gotlandic dialect (Not classed as language by Swedish gov yet) is more simular to the Gothic grammar. What I´ve learned is that Swedish is not derived from eastern norse the eastern norse was spoken at some point on the eastern islands like Gotland and Öland, Swedish and Danish what I understand comes from the Central/Mainland Norse language. Norwegian/Islandic and Faeroneese is from western Norse.

Where did you get the english words in the Futhark style runic letters? It's really cool and an interesting way to bridge the gap between the two languages.

My great grandmother spoke high German while she was at home with my grandpa when he was a kid

I love Germanic languages so much.

beautiful music!!!

Bro appreciate the content keep making it man

Nice video. As a Dutch, I am proud to be part of the Germanic language group society. Let's preserve our Germanic languages.

Germanic 🇩🇪 Anglo-Saxon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and Viking Norse 🇳🇴 History is very Interesting!

Funny how Denmark was first west-Germanic speaking

Great video! Highest respects from Greece!

Thanks!

Fairly accurate. Not totally accurate. Let’s start at the 33 second mark, which asserts that the Northern, Western, and Eastern Germanic dialects all separated at 250BC. This is inaccurate because the Eastern Germanic branch clearly separated from the rest first. Eastern variants like Gothic show Verner’s Law only half-formed, thus indicating the linguistic change was just beginning when those tribes headed toward the Black Sea. In addition, there are several characteristics that both the Northern and Western branches share, such as a complete Verner’s Law and the first instances of umlauting that the Eastern branch lacks. Thus, a consensus exists that it was not the case that all three subgroups of the Western branch separated at the same time as the Eastern branch separated. The latter occurred first. Now for the more complex part. At the 40 second mark, the video claims the Western branch separates into the three separate subgroups of North Sea Germanic (yellow), Weser-Rhine Germanic (orange), and Elbe Germanic (red) about 100BC. This is way too early, as there are several linguistic changes that all Western Germanic languages share and there would have had to have been a time period where they occurred. Gemination (lengthening of the sound, sometimes doubling the letter) of consonant before “j” and sometime before “r” and “l”, the development of the gerund, and the hardening of “ð” into “d” are just some examples. 100BC is a much better fit for this stage of development alone, and not the triple split of the Western Germanic as well. And here is why I think the video puts the Western subgroup separation too early at 100BC. The lead tribe of the Germanic revolt against the Romans at the Battle of Teutoberg Wald (9AD) was the Cherusci. Pliny the Elder in “Natural History” would peg the Cheruski as grouped with the Chatti and the Hermanduri in 79AD, indicating they were part of the Suebian identity first attested by Julius Caesar in 61BC. Tacitus ascribed both the Anglii and the Lombards to the Suebian indentity, indicating the the Elbe Germanic subgroup hadn’t fully separated by 117AD. The Anglii would become the Angles of the famed Anglo-Saxon migrations to the island that now bears their name, England, but at this point they are probably still speaking proto-Germanic, not the North Sea Germanic they would after the split. We are still waiting for the Elbe Germanic subgroup to separate. Both Strabo in 20AD and Tacitus in 117AD place the Lombards on the lower Elbe river. Cassio Dio would report in 166AD that the Lombards would be turned back to their homeland in the lower Elbe river (their home a century earlier) after their defeat in a battle during the Marconnanic Wars in Pannonia, giving us evidence to believe still that the Elbe Germanic tongue was still in use there. Perhaps their reportedly-agricultural nature kept them anchored to that land, and thus anchored to proto-Western Germanic. In the year 300AD the Codex Gothanus would report that the Lombards had resisted a Saxon incursion, but the Lombards would leave their lower Elbe homeland permanently by the late 300s due to bad crops, as confirmed by archeological studies to the southwest of the modern Hamburg, Germany. Those left behind, like the Cherusci, were absorbed into the Saxon confederation, where Elbe Germanic linguistic elements are still speckled among the southwestern border languages of Saxon territory. The Lombard tongue would eventually migrate south to northern Italy through the route via Pannonia that had been used since the Marcomannic Wars, making it the southernmost tongue descendant from Elbe Germanic. According to the Ravenna Cosmography, a Vatican-ordained geography compilation, in 489AD the Lombards broke through to lands south of the Alps, and that language they entered what is now northern Italy can be confidently categorized as a form of Elbe Germanic through an analysis of the monarchal names which identify the effects of the early High Consonant Shift, which began in the 2nd to 4th centuries. By the 3rd century, with the Chauci, Cherusci, and remaining Lombards absorbed by the Saxons, and the western tribes forming into the Franks, we see a full separating of the three Western Germanic subgroups. The remaining Germanic tribes would eventually separate into the Weser-Rhine and North Sea Germanic groups, but would be mutually intelligible to go onto sharing a reduction of class 3 weak verbs. Class 3 verbs, also known as stative verbs, are verbs that describe a state rather than an action. Thus, the video’s assertion that the full tri-partition of the Western Germanic occurred in 100BC is anywhere from three to four centuries off.

Great video. But you forgot Silesia, Pomerania and East Prussia in the Maps until WWII

How the hell did you forget the Germans in Eastern Europe??? There were more than 17 million German speaking people in Eastern Europe before 1945 that had lived there for generations, thats twice the population of Sweden. I mean maybe the Volga Germans or the Carpathian Germans or the Baltic Germans are too niche for you to know (although they also numbered in the millions), but the German speaking regions in modern Poland and Czechia are literally what started WW2!!

such a beautiful language family ❤️

Я Алан Осетин с Кавказа 🤝 в 90ых бывал в Германии, очень красивый язык 👍 много слов схожих с нашим Аланским языком 💖

Even as a German I'm glad you didn't use a German song, Swedish fits way better.

The music is so enchanting

Germanic languages seem very harsh compared to slavic and Romance languages but i love them, i'd like to speak German and Norwegian one day.

Beautiful music.

East german territories were also speaking german

I love the music where can I find more like it ?

Why didn’t you show off the Eastern Germans, Transolvanian-Saxons, and the Prussians?

We have a German city in India named Stadt der Sterne😎

I don't know what mapping program you used for this video but I've worked with GIS for unrelated work, and understand all the hours it takes to make a short video like this. So screw the people who are nit-picking every detail. Great job!

I love this music. It's beautiful

Hello, can anyone please tell me the name of the background music which is being played?

I may be hispanic but i'm often fond of the Germanic, Nordic and Baltic people of it's history and origins.

The word for God in Germanic languages has the same root with Persian word for God "Khoda" unlike other Indo European languages, just these two languages use this word, there was a tribe known as Gutians living in Iran near Zagros mountains, interestingly some of their kings had Germanic names like Tirigan, some scholars say they are ancestors of Modern Germanic people and related to Proto-Germans

Perhaps you should re-do some of your old language videos if they are too short.
