English is a blend of French, German, and the Paleo-Hebrew of the Danos that first settled there.

English IS a Germanic language. That fact has been known for centuries. See any history of the English language. After thousands of years living in proximity to each other of course words from other languages enter a peoples language; German borrowed its word for window from its French neighbors. Words coming in are “loan Words.”

Sorry, these genetic studies refute that British-Israel nonsense very soundly.

I had my DNA on Ancestry and found my people were 67% northwest European; Danish, Anglo-Saxon, Viking related, ect. My mother's people have English names and my father's people were from the Hebride Island off the coast of Scotland. I traced my tree back to Scotland in 1620 and I'm the 11th generation in the good ole USA.

I figured I'd be 60% English, only like 10% though. Interesting as all heck, everybody should spend the 99 bucks and spit in the tube. I also was 20% Irish, 5% Iberian (DNA from the Romans who also invaded England) and 2% Greek; imagine that. No Afri though, ha ha; wouldn't claim it if I was anyway.

My wifey is waiting on her DNA to come back. Once and for all we will know for sure she is Polish and not Slovak; something I've known my entire life.

There is zero genetic or archaeological evidence for the bizarre cult of British Israelitism.

So who was more likely to get the women? The big brawny Saxon warriors or the smaller britons, celts and welsh?

English is a Germanic language. It has contributions from French, from Latin, etc but at its root it is clearly Germanic.

Mutter = Mother
Vater = Father
Bruder = brother
Schwester = Sister
Sohn = son
Toechter = daughter
Tante = Aunt
Onkel = Uncle
Finger = finger
Hand = hand
Arm = arm
Schulter = shoulder
Knie = knee
Fuss = foot
Lippe = lip
Auge = eye
Haar = hair
Ohr = ear
nase = nose
mund = mouth
zunge = tongue
kinn = chin

Look at the equivalents for those or other everyday words in any Romance language. It’s not even close. English is basically a North German dialect. If you speak standard ie “high” German and then hear someone speaking “Plattsdeutsch” ie “flat” or “low” German you immediately hear it’s closer to English. Dutch is like a halfway house between English and German. I understand about 3/4s of it and have never studied it.

German = strasse
English = street (double s often becomes t in English)
Dutch = straat

German = danke
English = thank you
Dutch = dank U
