The predecessor language group is called Old West Gothic.
Thanks for the info. Cannot look at a modern map of Germany to figure this stuff out. The Jutes apparently came from Jutland. Some of them were reported to have shown up in the British Isles. Saxons were a Germanic tribe from north Germany and the Angles were the Frisians who were a Germanic tribe that came from what is now known as the northern Netherlands. The following maps seem to indicate that.
Germanic Kingdoms and East Roman Empire 526-600
From The Historical Atlas by William R. Shepherd, 1911.
Of course this old map will probably need some modification after the DNA analysis are more fully complete.
