@@blackpinkgangster8162The Angles (Old English: Ængle, Engle; Latin: Angli; German: Angeln) were one of the main Germanic peoples[1] who settled in Great Britain in the post-Roman period. 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

@@elha92 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.

Same, but Austrian/Hamburg and born in USA

this makes you a member of the definetely most interesting germanic subgroups and people should learn more about us…..seriously ! we had this amber and flint-based golden early bronze age, climate chaos based migration movevements like the cimbrian teutonic-ambronian invasions of gaul and the northern roman provinces, this is the heart of the old suebian realm, we are the original anglos as well and saxons, lombardian culture originated also here and 20 metric km away from me you find the largest native norse city, Hedeby just two days ago I searched the Rungholtsand for mussels and clams….its named after the town of Rungholt which drowned there in 1362 together with many other settlements and basically that whole landscape which we now know as the northfrisian waddensea… in which part of Chile are you residing ? I imagine Chile as a somehow predominantly rocky and quite un-schleswig-holsteinian country ....but with plenty of coastline which is definetely very nice !

Salzburg/Hamburg. Half prussian, half Austrian.

I believe that a larger number of germans will join you in the near future. Just wait.. I visited Chile a few years ago. Definitely a place to be. Loved that they said "Kuchen" at least in the south..

@@gladstanegonder4970 I'm in Santiago but have lived all around the country. It is very much like the west coast of the US geographically. 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.

@@iulianzagan779 As far as I know the bulk of them left earlier because they were repressed by Ceaușescu and then bought free from Germany. Romania is a quite intersting country. When you think of Romania from a German perspective, you mostly think of Roma and Spätausiedler, but the most have some Italian appeal to them. 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.

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.

English speakers call the nation "Germany" and the people are known has "Germans". The other nations in Northern and Central Europe also use Germany but translated into there language. In Spain, Germany is called "Alemania" and the Germans are known has "Alemanes". In France, Germany is called Ällemange" and Germans are known has "Allemands". Allemania and Ällemange derives from the word "Alemanni". The following explains it - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alemanni

Sure. But that's not what Germans call themselves so it doesn't really matter.

@@Siegbert85 Yeah, the word "Deutsch" derives from teuto meaning people as in "we the people" (modern german: Volk).

Latin and Greek themselves come from Northern proto-European cultures.

@@Francis35288 Except for all the celts.

There's lots of white diversity. Am I misunderstanding you? For example the Finnish are white and they aren't even Indo-European. It's from arctic climates. That said Indo-Europeans aren't always white even though they're genetically close like the Hindi who can be as black as Africans.

​@@lingvemulo Yakuts, Evenks, Tungus and Samoyeds are considered to be Arctic race in Russia, but they are not white. Climate does not change human anthropology, this is a fallacy. North Asians (Siberians) are also not white, except descendants of Russian cossacks, colonists and communists, like me.

True. It seems Masaman makes these "mistakes" for political reasons.

Germanic and Slavic languages are separated by thousands of years. Proto-Germanic dates from 1000 B.C. while Proto-Slavic hails from the 800 A.D. They are not that related if you compare Germanic languages with Celtic and Romance languages.

@@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.

@@arminius-6339 Possibly but I think its just peoples' tendency to take on simplified versions of new knowledge and overlook nuance because the shear volume of information can be overwhelming. 10 years ago I was making many of the same oversimplifications Masaman makes. I still have a lot of respect for him having the balls to talk about this stuff and enough courtesy to present it as neutrally as he does even if its not perfect.

@@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.

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.

Did you ever hear about the amish who was excommunicated? Two mennonite.

@@iamnotanumberiamafreeman2021 from what i know, following the expulsion from switzerland many anabaptists first found refuge in alsace, then in the palatinate in the early 18th century and then along with many other protestants from the palatinate went on to emigrate to north america.

@@iamnotanumberiamafreeman2021..... 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).

Thats not only your understanding. Thats the purpose of the song. To unite all german states into one Germany above all.

@R G If you take the song as a whole, you cant read it two ways. 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.

@R G The Allied took it out of context.

@R G So you say. But we’ve just told you the lyrics meant something different from what you’ve been told.

@R G Yes, the Nazis deliberatly misinterpreted the songs meaning to support their ideology. But thats not the songs fault in my opinion.

Germanic not German

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.

@u.s old glory Bethlehem is nowhere near Lancaster. 80 miles or so is not so close when your talking about a densely populated area like Southeastern PA.

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.

@@skeleton2082 Mason said the Amish were as actually Swiss and Mennonites were Prussian. However, both of those groups are subsets of PA Dutch. I don't think they simply came from the Rhineland.

@@jonathanwapner6262 Of course, they didn't all come from the Rhineland but most did. Mennonites weren't from Prussia, most came from the Rhineland and the Southwest.

There are Frankish dialects in Germany too.

skellagyook Luxemburgisch is probably successor Language of Frankish. I am from Germany and i can understand them.

@@S4NY4RKuRDBoZZ Luxemburgisch is from Frankish, but so is Dutch. Dutch is descended from Old Franconian (a.k.a. Frankish) and Frankish evolved into Old Dutch. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankish_language (Also see the "Franconian languages" section at link above.)

@@S4NY4RKuRDBoZZ So, as explained in the article linked in my last comment above (in the "Franconian languages" section), Frankish split into three branches. One evolved into Dutch, another evolved into Limburgish and Luxemburgisch, and another likely evolved into the Ripuarian dialects (spoken in a region of Germany).

@@S4NY4RKuRDBoZZ Yes, it might be the closest modern descendant of the original language of the Franks.

I mean "dominate" is a bit of a over statement They didn't even really fight the local Celts and SMALL Latin population there once they conquered the land and when I say small I mean MICROSCOPIC small these 3 groups and later Normans from Normandy all assimilated with each other to create what we now consider to be "english"

Saxony was a colony of Lower saxony

The Romano-"Britons" were mostly displaced Gauls that the Romans had moved to the isles to govern the Germanic population which existed there prior, so yes those people were probably a bit soft from Rome's cocoon but in addition to that, the pre-existing Germanic population likely put up very little resistance to their Germanic relatives as it was mostly just a change of overlords for them despite the few hundred years spent under Roman/Gaelic rule.

newb mann I mean dominate in that we don’t call folk with English backgrounds “Anglo-Norman” or “Anglo-Briton”, or “Anglo-Dane”.

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.

Hinweis: I live near Munich

@@user-lb8du4dl3o That would make sense. They also heavily identify with Tyrolean Austrians.

Tim Salter they have such a serious problem, if you meet one of them he will try the whole day convince you that they are the original germans, they even try to mock their northern part of Bavaria namely Franconia and they show unrest talking about their dialect and life style, so you can notice that such attitude carries an underlying „germanic“ problem. And this word „germanic“ will always be touchy for them, even if they don’t say it, it also good to note that the nazi ideology was never a prussian idea, it has all started from upper Bavaria out of their internal instability, and their fear of rejection from the truly „germanic“ part of Germany! Their catholic affinity plays a role also , and in that respect they would prefer France to northern Germany, which is quite odd if you observe the german history as a whole!

I never heard my mom's side of the family refer to themselves as Germanisch, but instead they have said they are "halbe Roemer."

Persons from the eastern part of Germany are totally different drama here!. Austria is the same, but they are shy to show connection to Bavaria, in order to keep themselves away from the nazi-stuff!

@@Krakenwerfer My brother went there several times to trace family. I've found we're related to Graf family members who still live in that area.

The best theory of the Geats of Beowulf is that they were the people of Gotland, the island in the baltic. In Beowulf they are often referred to as "Weather Geats" which referes to the unique Gotlandish (Gutnish) word for ram. Sheepherding has also always been very important on the island and a ram is in their flag that goes back to at least the 16th century. The Gotland theory also fits together the travel times the best. And also fits archeological evidence. Bo Gräslund is the professor that launched this theory. I cant find any translation of his paper now, unfortunately. The Jutes are still there, only, in Scandinavian languages it is spelled "Jylland". As for "vikings". Well, boat culture in Scandinavia is ancient, even back in the Nordic Bronze age, 3700 years ago, the most depicted motif was the ship. And we have ship burials, so called "stone settings" that go back 3000 years, as Tjelvars Grave on Gotland. Beowulf is late migration era, early Vendel era, and long distance traders were already being buried in boats then. During the Viking age, the Geats/Gutes/Gotlanders developed into a merchant republic. So they might have done a bit of raiding but were such successful merchants so that was the part of being a viking they concentrated on.

The jutes (correctly pronounced yoots) as well as the angles survived mostly in England, as they were assimilated by north germanic and somewhat west slavic peoples by the end of the dark ages (~500-1000)

@@celtofcanaanesurix2245 Do you guys don't think that the people living in Jutland today are the original jutes?

@@martinan22 My great grandfather was from Haderslev in South Denmark and my Grandfather from Nykobing S . I did try to return to my family via immigration back to Denmark but unfortunately Denmark prohibits families returning to their roots . They told me to sign up as a refugee . Other countries do accept a return on the grounds of parents or recent ancestry . Sad .

If you are interested in German-Russians, check out the channel "Jonathan Pohl". He knows all kinds of stuff, and more.

I'm of partial German ancestry myself and the community in Canada my German ancestors helped build under the auspices of the Benedictines attracted a fair amount of Germans from the Russian Empire. The most famous German group in Russia are the Volga Germans. Germans settled all over Russia though. There were German communities in the Caucasus and even Anatolia! Many Germans also settled in Kazakhstan.

@@Mothman156 - "Jonathan Pohl" is a historian and has an channel here on YT. He knows more than a little bit on these things.

Many who identify as Russians in Germany are actually Russian-Germans and therefore true Germans. Some are mixed but not all since in Russia the Germans used to life among themselves in basically purely German villages. Atleast at the beginning. This is how much I know since I am a Russian-German myself and my mother and grandmother have told me this. Pretty much all of my cousins are mixed now only my parents happened to be both Russian-Germans making me in fact pure German. But even though being ethnic German many Russian-Germans including my family have strongly been influenced by the Russian culture and still speak Russian at home.

@@elbuggo I will check him out. Thanks for the heads up. Being predominantly Anglo-Saxon I'm some what disconnected from my German roots.

The Celts in Britanny were refugees that fled the British islands because of the Anglo-Saxon invasions. There is another branch that fled to Galicia/Asturia.

They forgot or ignore the Celts and the Romans, two people that were in Britain centuries before the Anglo Saxons. 80% of the English vocabulary is composed of words of Latin origin and also the German language has strong influence of the Classic Latin in the vocabulary and grammar. Many words that in English they say is Germanic is actually from Latin origin.

Japanese?

@@user-dc2hs9lt2m the japanese are not inventive, not progressive, not creative like the germans or europeans. The japanese just copied the inventions of the europeans but did not contribute to modern civilization.

@@user-dc2hs9lt2m everything was invented in Europe. Tell me please the most important japanese inventions. Over 99% of all inventions were made by the europeans and many of those by the germans, the rest of the world didnt invent anything. The car, bycicle, space rocket technology, light bulb, dynamo, telephone and many other were invented by the garmans. The japanese invented sushi :))

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 bro, are you serious? Even gunpowder was invented by the Chinese.

@@user-dc2hs9lt2m the europeans invend over 99% of all thing we use today. The europeans are only 7% of the worlds population. The europeans ALONE invented modern civilization. Without the europeans the rest of the world would still be in the STONE AGE. The chinse and japanse only copied the european products but did not invent anything except sushi and harakiri.

You can go to some places Namibia and speak clear hochdeutsch with them

I believe Namibia has good relations with germany, one colony absolutely hates the german state and the third basically just chills. In china they had impact mostly the port city they got out of the treaties, mostly Beer culture, Quelle surprise.

I know about the germans in africa and latin America, as it's well documented. What I'm interested about mostly are the germans in Papua new Guinea, Hong Kong, Philippines and the military advisers in Japan. The german empire is somewhat similar to Portugal. We know their there colonially or influence wise, but no one talks about it.

Well, say about the germans all you want but at least we didn't cut peoples hands off **cough** belgian congo **cough**

north- they also in new guinea and samoa and new zealand.

Okay nazi boomer.

What the hell dude

Until 1870, "Germany" was a quilt of dozens to hundreds of independent states. Many were rivals, most had a different religion and traditions from their neighbors, and until the 16th century there wasn't even a standard German language, just a continuum of dialects that changed drastically with distance until Bavarians and Prussians could barely comprehend one another. Until 1938 there were arguments over whether "Germany" included Austria or not. As for the term "The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation", the name wasn't used until 1512. At that point Rome and Italy were no longer included although non-German lands like Bohemia were, and the position of emperor was granted by election via dukes who often fought local wars among themselves within the empire. In 1519 the "Emperor of the German Nation" was half Spanish. The "German Nation" formulae might have been official but was seldom used in practice.

@@dc4457 "most had a different religion" the fuck do you mean by that? All Germans were Christian.

@@dc4457 I read an account of the First World War and a Bavarian wrote a letter saying how much the Bavarians hated the Prussians. It was the militaristic Prussians that had united Germany and many Germans weren't fond of them.

Greetings from a fellow Frank from Flanders!

The Saka (Scythians) are an ethno cultural nexus. Proto Germanic and Proto Iranic are very similar languages, almost the same language. The Sarmatians, Bulgars, Alans [*Arons], Goths, Huns etc all carried Saka culture and haplogtoups with them when they migrated. Grailic culture for example [Arthurian mythos] was introduced by the Saka. In fact, 'Sakson' comes from "Saka son". Iranic and Germanic peoples are so similar that during WWII, Iranic people were exempt from the Nuremburg purity laws as they were seen as a similar people.

This is just pseudohistory. What are your sources?

Raped and brainwashed.

Some where "stalinized" like basically every minority, the others started to leave Russia in droves after the iron curtain fell. Many German-Germans see them as weirdos as they have to some degree preserved the "Germany" of 1800.

Genocided

No there are still some small Communities in russia.

A lot of them were "resettled" in the Sowjetunion, like the Wolgadeutschen. They were scattered over Siberia and mostly northern Kazhakstan. In the 1990s about 4 million Russlanddeutsche came back to Germany. For being allowed back I think they had to have at least one German grandparent. But most of them are still mostly of German descent. In public life, they are almost invisible because they assimilated quickly. Despite that success, the press and politicians don't like to talk about them because they are in general more conservative and right-wing than the native Germans.

He's kind of covered that topic when talking on south american countries population such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile & Uruguay.
