Germanic Language Family
The Germanic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family spoken natively by a population of about 515 million people mainly in North America, Oceania, Southern Africa and Europe.
The common ancestor of all of the languages in this branch is called Proto-Germanic, also known as Common Germanic, which was spoken in about the middle of the 1st millennium BC in Iron Age Scandinavia. Proto-Germanic, along with all of its descendants, is characterised by a number of unique linguistic features, most famously the consonant change known as Grimm's law. Early varieties of Germanic entered history with the Germanic tribes moving south from Scandinavia in the 2nd century BC, to settle in the area of today's northern Germany and southern Denmark.
The West Germanic languages include the ...

Dutch & German dialogue that sounds like English
Germanic languages share a common ancestor and are closely related. Normally, most of them are different enough that they’re not mutually intelligible. But is it possible to construct “universal” dialogues of Germanic languages that can be mutually understood by various Germanic languages? In this video I constructed an example. You will hear what it sounds like in various Germanic languages, not just in mainstream Germanic languages, but also in lesser known languages like Frisian and Low German. And what would it sound like in their common ancestor language Proto-Germanic? I shall answer that question and also provide a brief historical and linguistic overview of Germanic languages.

MOIN! Low Saxon (“Low German”)—Lesson 19: “Translation from Afrikaans”
If your language enthusiasm includes lesser known languages, you came to the right address: lessons with sight, sound and explanations.
Have fun with Lesson 19!
The other lessons are here:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp_WSAvs_yP2AczPj6rTaPEhY_p7hc0FP&si=XVpc6CIV4KPdQnqs
Low Saxon (“Low German”) is used in Northern Germany and in the northeastern parts of the Netherlands. Not long ago it was at long last officially recognized as a regional language of Europe. The exact number of its speakers is not known, though we can safely assume a seven-digit number.
Low Saxon is commonly called “Low German”, in German “Niederdeutsch”, “Plattdeutsch” or just “Platt”. The label “Low Saxon”, as it is called in the Netherlands, comes closer to accuracy. It is in fact the Modern Saxon language w...

Anglish - What if English Were 100% Germanic?
Here's a little video about a something that caught my interest recently: Anglish, a new "pure" Germanic variety of English with all of its non-Germanic vocabulary removed and replaced by Germanic words. Anglish isn't a big movement as far as I know, but it's interesting! Learn more about it at http://anglish.wikia.com

**Clarification regarding the word "in":
A lot of people have commented saying that "in" is of Germanic origin, which matches what I had previously thought. When researching this video I looked up the etymology of "in" and read that it's of Latin origin, meaning "into, in, on, upon". So I thought that it must have been one of the early borrowings into Germanic dialects that I mentioned in the video.
But I went back and checked the source again, and I realized that the dictionary entry I was reading was for the PREFIX "in-", not the standalone word. The standalone word has always existed in the Germanic language family. And ultimately, both the Germanic and Latin words come from the Proto-Indo-European word "en".**

The Germanic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family spoken natively by a population of about 515 million people mainly in North America, Oceania, Southern Africa and Europe.
The common ancestor of all of the languages in this branch is called Proto-Germanic, also known as Common Germanic, which was spoken in about the middle of the 1st millennium BC in Iron Age Scandinavia. Proto-Germanic, along with all of its descendants, is characterised by a number of unique linguistic features, most famously the consonant change known as Grimm's law. Early varieties of Germanic entered history with the Germanic tribes moving south from Scandinavia in the 2nd century BC, to settle in the area of today's northern Germany and southern Denmark.
The West Germanic languages include the three most widely spoken Germanic languages: English with around 360–400 million native speakers; German, with over 100 million native speakers; and Dutch, with 23 million native speakers. The main North Germanic languages are Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese, which have a combined total of about 20 million speakers. The East Germanic branch included Gothic, Burgundian, and Vandalic, all of which are now extinct. The last to die off was Crimean Gothic, spoken until the late 18th century in some isolated areas of Crimea.

Low Saxon (“Low German”) is used in Northern Germany and in the northeastern parts of the Netherlands. Not long ago it was at long last officially recognized as a regional language of Europe. The exact number of its speakers is not known, though we can safely assume a seven-digit number.
Low Saxon is commonly called “Low German”, in German “Niederdeutsch”, “Plattdeutsch” or just “Platt”. The label “Low Saxon”, as it is called in the Netherlands, comes closer to accuracy. It is in fact the Modern Saxon language whose ancestor was Old Saxon which is also an ancestor of English. Unfortunately, the name “Saxony” went to a part of Germany that has nothing to do with the real Saxons.
The medieval Saxon language was an important and greatly influential lingua franca around the Baltic Sea and the Norwegian coast. After the demise of the Hanseatic Trading League its prestige waned and it’s region lost its independence.
For those interested in historical linguistics, this series of corpora of an internationally neglected Germanic language may within some contexts turn out to point to a missing link as the closest relative to Anglo-Frisian as well as Dutch.
Afrikaans is used in Southern Africa and is primarily based on Dutch with admixtures of Malay, French, Indigenous and other languages.

Here's a little video about a something that caught my interest recently: Anglish, a new "pure" Germanic variety of English with all of its non-Germanic vocabulary removed and replaced by Germanic words. Anglish isn't a big movement as far as I know, but it's interesting! Learn more about it at http://anglish.wikia.com
