Deutsch und Englisch I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: German is closer to English than French and Spanish are. Why is this so? I shall endeavor to enlighten y’all……

Startling similarities between English and German Lexical similarities: German English Mann man Maus mouse singen sing Gast guest grün green haben have Vater father

A little less obvious lexical similarities German English Pfeffer pepper Herz heart liegen lie lachen laugh Hund ‘dog’ hound Knecht ‘servant’ knight Weib ‘woman’ wife Zeit ‘time’ tide (notice ‘eventide’)

Geschichte Scientists believe that many of the languages of Europe descended from one language called Proto-Indo-European (PIE, as it’s commonly called). There are no written records of this language; linguists have examined similarities in later languages.

Proto-Germanic It is believed that PIE evolved into several different language families, including the Indo-European group. Many language groups in Europe are Indo-European in origin. One such language that existed long ago is called “Proto-Germanic.”

Proto-Germans The Proto-Germanic culture originally existed in eastern Europe, possibly where you would find the Ukraine today. They eventually moved across Europe, taking their language with them.

Wandering Folks They moved across Europe in several waves called “Voelkerwanderungen.” (people/folk migrations). They settled in many places, even crossing into England. Over the centuries, the languages spoken in different lands evolved apart from one another. That is why they are similar, yet so different.

Branches of Germanic languages

German, Dutch, and English These 3 languages have a lot in common. I’ve noticed that Dutch is sot of a “bridge” between German and English. Of course, I’m sure someone else noticed it first….. 

Die Nummer You can see the similarities when you look at the numbers of each language. They’re different, of course, but quite similar.
