dude - with the exception of the Franks, NONE of them survive in their continuity


At least you admit there were 10. That’s a start in getting through to you.

The Ten Barbarian tribes and their modern day names

Anglo-Saxons: England
Lombards: Italy
Alamanni: Germany
Suevi: Portugal
Burgundians: Switzerland
Visigoths: Spain
Franks: France
Ostrogoths: Destroyed
Heruli: Destroyed
Vandals: Destroyed

Nope, there weren't 10 --> can you count the number on the map?

Adventists can't count? I know you Adventists only read Ellen G White's prophecies and not the Bible, but no history and no math either?

the Lombards never ruled Italy as a whole - if you include them, why don't you include the Romans (or Byzantines for the uneducated like you)?

at their greatest extent

The Alemanni were only in what is now Switzerland and Bavaria. Their language was replaced by High German. Germany's origin is with the Saxons under Otto

The Suevi were not ancestors of Portugal - can you even read the map? The suevi were in Galicia

Burgundians - ditto, part of Switzerland but the major part in what is now France - you havne't heard of Burgundy in France??

Visigoths were Spain and France

sheesh - only France and at a stretch England can be seen as continuations of those tribes.

You do realize that reading just the prophecies of Ellen G White as you Adventists do, at the expense of the Bible and history, can lead to such hilarious errors as you display, right?
