i listen to you before i go to sleep. u are telling bedtime stories for adults and im glad you are doing it. keep up
Am I that boring ;)?
Thanks very much, I'm glad you're enjoying my content!
i passed out listening this twice. third time's a charm
Thank you (I'll take it as a compliment) xD
When she says "the Romans have left, why don't you come over"
My Ancestory was traced back to the Anglo-Saxon's so this kind of history is especially interesting to me!
There's a recent genetic study regarding the average makeup of an Englishmans DNA that may be interesting to those wondering. On average 37 percent of an Englishmans makeup is Anglo-Saxon, 20 percent Celtic, 19 percent Western European (France / Germany), 9 percent Scandinavian with the remainder being Iberian and Italian / Greece. There are of course regional variations for example Yorkshire was found to be the most Anglo-Saxon whereas the East Midlands was found to be more Scandinavian than other places.
Was this the Leslie et al. one? I plan to make a video on the "Celtic" DNA and how actually it doesn't exist as the study showed. It's interesting though to see which parts of the country are more Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and "Celtic."
It was an Oxford study co lead by Professor Peter Donelly and some other bloke in 2015 (so not that recent I guess). I confess that I read an article about it rather than the actual study haha yeah am I right in thinking that the word Celtic doesn't refer to one singular people group? I know there were various tribes of course but were they genetically distinct? Yeah I guess it makes sense. I know Derby was a burrough of the Danelaw so that explains some of the East Midlands Scandinavian-ness haha It's really interesting as a Brit to know what my makeup is. I'd be interested in doing a genetic test myself actually.
From the evidence presented in the Leslie et al. study it appears that there were several distinct genetic groups within the "Celtic" areas such as Wales, Cornwall, Scotland etc. Derby certainly has a Scandinavian etymology meaning village of the deer "Der" - "deer" "By" - "village." It'd be an interesting experience!
Yeah man that's really interesting. Genealogy never really appealed to me but I must admit it's captured my attention lately. I've read ABOUT that Etymology too but there's also a theory it's a shortening of Derwent By and Derwent is Celtic meaning ''valley thick with oaks'' ultimately I guess it's one of those frustrating things that we'll never really know. Cheers for the reply man keep up the good work mate, always look forward to a new video from you!

I am an American but I am basically obsessed with stuff like this!!
reinhardt Yeah, I know. I kinda used to have a thing for Kyrgyzstan-the Geography, culture etc. I need to probably change my username. I do come from a Dutch-Indonesian heritage though.
Kyrgyz Jeff me too and me too my wife watches reality shows and I watch documentary’s 😂
Great start to the new series! Very interesting.
And, teasing the King Arthur subject again. I know I'll watch those the very moment you post them!
I've been obsessed with all things Arthurian since I was a kid.
Thanks very much Rick! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I really must get round to make some soon because I have a few books on the subject :)
Archeological evidence shows that the angles and most of the germanic peoples of jutland and germania and coastal scandinavia in the migration era werent in fact as huge as most thought... 174-176 cm was the average germanic male, and the roman average was probably 170 cm or something like that during the migration era, due to previous integration (native italic height was shorter in the republican era, likely being 166-168 cm, as 170 cm was the minimum required for legionary service after the Marian Reforms). The Gaulish warrior class and some Germanic nobility seemed to be bigger, both by archeological evidence and by roman writings. Theoderic, gothic king with likely "Geat" DNA was recorded as average height, while some of his nobles notes as big and handsome men.
Thanks for creating this video. As a Welsh person I find your explanation very informative on how out ancient history runs parallel with the ancestors of the English the Saxons.
I love Anglo Saxon history and this video did a great job with it. Love the channel
Keep in mind the language changed a little bit being heavily influenced by the French language when Normans conquered England who actually renamed a lot of places too nonetheless English is a Germanic language with some French added to it.
yes I'm defiantly not denying that english is still very much a Germanic language just if you asked an Anglo-Saxon where or not this language was still their language they would tell you that it isn't to them modern English would be a foreign language to them where as French has changed a lot since then and a modern French person would say no one talks like that any more it is still recognizable as French same with Irish the language is different now its had a lot of English imports but is still very much the same language as back then and a fluent person could still read it with a little difficulty but still possible. where as a modern English person can not read old English its completely foreign not even recognizable as English and is more closely related to Scots than English.
41 percent of english is french

Living language,, evolves,, very quickly,, where as a static language will remain the same ,,
Hengist and Horsa both refer to horse. Which is intriguing.
There is an astounding lack of celtic words in english and old english. Far beyond what genetic studies would make probable. It is mysterious.
"barn" is the main word for child in modern swedish/scandinavian.
Thank you. This summarizes my heritage.
good stuff man, i love this kind of history. i am an american but my family comes from wales
Thank you! I'm glad you're finding it interesting :) Ah interesting, this period wasn't great for the Welsh, although the King Arthur myths are a silver-lining I suppose :) Thanks for watching!
Just a quick point, 'Gay-lic' AKA Irish is the language spoken by our cousins across the sea, 'Ga-lik' which sounds slightly like Garlic is the proper pronunciation of Gaidhlig or Scots-Gaelic; I know I'm being nitpicky, and is a common mispronunciation, but something I believe is a required distinction.
Oh, and good video, by-the-by.
Yes the Scottish do gay-lick with their mouths and wear skirts
@history with Hilbert sorry if i bother you i am a student from Italy, my teacher gave us a homework which is to make a summary of this video, would you be so kind to write in the comments or in the description a very simple one. Thank you
@History With Hilbert
in the future how would you feel about doing a video on the Druids?
I think the Druids is a great subject for a future video. If you're interested, I do mention the Druids and do a little telling about them in my Ancient Culture Analysis of the Gauls at around the 8:15 mark.

Would love to see a video about the druids
Some scholars theorize that as you said, the first wave of "Anglo-Saxons" were actually from the north coast of pre-flood Frisia.Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians were all known as the Ingaevones (Angles?). During Roman times the area of Frisia was much, much larger that it is now. Possibly 10 times larger than now. The departure of the Romans could possibly coincided with the terrible storms that washed over Frisia and submerged large parts of the country. Many farms were devastated and people killed. They probably needed a new place to live. This could also be why they chose to put a lot of their villages on top of old Celtic hill forts. In Frisia they built their settlements on man made hills to protect them from flood threats. And coming from a land made up of hills in the marshes, they would have felt right at home in the fens. lol As word got out, the Angles and the Saxons would have wanted a piece of the pie as well.Just sayin'
Small linguistic addition re: bairn. In the Scandinavian languages, "barn" is child. Whether we took it from the Frisians, they took it from us, or both groups took it from another point of origin is beyond my knowledge, though.
Yeah I think it was probably a common word and that it's just been retained in the Scandinavian languages, Scots and Western Frisian and disappeared from the like of Dutch and modern English. It'd be interesting to trace though.
Bairn is NE English for a child.
Do many Saxons specialize in playing the saxophone?
From what I have learned it was King Vortigern and his advisors who invited the Germanics to come over to finally deal with the Picts with the promise of gold and silver (and then they could leave). Once the Germanics had dealt with the Picts for Vortigern they took the money but decided to stay (which wasn't Vortigern's plan).
Sorry if it's out of context but can anyone show me the source of the thumbnail on the video please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Great video, but a few years, or at least rough time periods would have been great.
thank yew hilbert. there are many angles in 360 degrees but vikings walk backwards and look between there knees.
hahaha. have fun my friend gare
I love this video, but I do personally have to disagree on the Anglo-Saxons not entirely driving/wiping out the Romano-Britons. Reason why is because well, studies can say that the Anglo-Saxons/English intermarried with the Romano-Britons/Welsh, but much of the studies contradict with each other if you gather them all together as well contradicting with less science based, more historical evidence. You explained it when you said what England is known to the Welsh (the lost land that their ancestors once had). I do not deny that there would've been some intermingling but I would argue that it would've been very small, too small to really make an impact on the gene pool. Language and religious change as well place names give good enough evidence. The Romanised Brythons wouldn't have just given up everything they had. Even though they are thought to be 'Romanised', they still speak a Celtic language (Welsh and what was Cornish).
I know it's not a big part of this video, but I am quite passionate about the subject as you might have guessed why I have made the big paragraph above lol sorry. As always, you're very simple and entertaining as well with your videos. Can't wait for the second one!
Thanks very much for watching! I don't think I say anywhere they completely wiped out the Romano-Britons because there are several studies showing that the English might only be something like 38% Anglo-Saxon with more British DNA in the MtDNA. I agree that many studies disagree with one another, although there was a recent one done by Leslie et al. which seemed fairly thorough with large sample sizes done I think in 2015, though I've read Weale's from the early 2000's extensively which showed the massive difference in male Y-Chromosome English DNA compared to the Welsh DNA from males just across the border.
You're absolutely right that the Anglo-Saxons had a massive impact on England from the moment they landed on its southern shore but most genetic evidence does suggest at least some intermingling of the two populations, which is inevitable really.
No problem, I too am very interested by this and I'm glad you raised the point! Thanks very much for watching and commenting and I hope you enjoy part II when it comes out next week!
I know you didn't say that they fully wipe out the Romano-British population, I just disagree with the DNA studies. The thing is that there wasn't just the Anglo-Saxons coming into Britain, there was also pestilence going around Britain of the time. Much of the findings that are Anglo-Saxon in origin (Migration era) are very similar to stuff you find in the fellow Germanic kingdoms on the continent. Yes some may have British/Welsh influence but I would that's what would happen when you defeat your enemies. I personally believe that it was a mix of invasion and settlement/migration. After defeating the enemy in battle and driving them out, they would've let their kin know of the new lands and had them bring their own wives and families. Sure, there may have been the odd mixing now and then but it would've been very small, the hostility between the two would've been too great, although there were some moments where they (for some odd reason) made alignments like Penda of Mercia and Cadwallon of Gwynedd. So yeah, I am for the Anglo-Saxons pushing out the Britons side of the argument.
Do remember that the Welsh are called Welsh in English because it comes from the OE word Waelisc meaning 'foreigner'. Same with English in Welsh is 'Saesneg', which sounds a lot like Saxon. Cornwall was known as West Wales also. I do have a similar belief like this towards the Icelandic genetic background but that's a different story for another time.
Again, great stuff! Don't stop doing them!
Ah sorry I think I misunderstood you in your first comment :)
I've not really looked into the idea of the pestilences wiping out many of the Romano-Britons but it could certainly explain why so much of our DNA in England is Germanic Anglo-Saxon if there were fewer Romano-Britons to contribute to the gene pool. Absolutely, for example the Anglo-Frisian pottery and various fibulae that can be found up and down the North Sea coast and in England too. Yeah, I refuse to believe there was no invasion as if the Romano-Britons would just happily move out and let the Germanic invaders in, but after they'd conquered land their women and children would probably also have come over; or they would have taken British wives.
Yeah those two, I talk about that alliance in the next video about the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. I hate them, being a Northumbrian as I am; Up with King Oswald! I'm also in favour of the argument, though I think the extent to which they removed all the Romano-Britons remains debatable because of the various DNA studies.
Yeah it's an interesting one because in Welsh the word for Wales is "Cymru" which is cognate to the region that for a long time in the North west was also Celtic, "Cumbria." I know the Scots Gaelic named the Anglo-Saxons the "Sassanachs" which was their attempt at "Saxon."
Thanks for commenting again, I love having these discussions :D Hope you'll watch again next week!
That's cool. Yeah, I mean pestilence and civil war was prevalent before the Anglo-Saxons even arrived, so that would've affected the population in many ways, and by the time the Anglo-Saxons arrived, the population can't have been very big to start with, plus they weren't the warriors their ancestors would've been. Even though the vast majority of place names in England are Old English followed by Old Norse, there are the odd places that have a Celtic root in them, showing further how much the Anglo-Saxons dominated the land while there being very little Brythonic influence. I think there would've been a few that have taken the British as wives but why couldn't the others bring along their own wives and children from the homeland? I think the records of all the battles during that time shown that is was (at least partially) an invasion that spanned through 150 years, following settlements from other Germanic peoples. What also could be said is that there weren't just Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians, there were also many other smaller fractions of Germanic tribes that came along like the Scyldings (Skelding, Yorkshire) and Thiringas (Thorington and Thoringham).
Even though I don't trust any of those DNA studies, there was one that I found quite interesting. I think it was 2015, but it was one showing how we English are still living in our 'tribal kingdoms' (just like the kingdoms during the 6th-7th century). Looking at the map, the whole of England except the north west was dotted red, that showing the Anglo-Saxon genes dominating the areas. The text in the article said that the Anglo-Saxons intermarried the Brythons but at the same time the Celtic lands were all different colours, or haplogroups, which made no sense seeing how England was one colour but the Britons were all different groups themselves. I don't know if anyone else noticed that.
Even though I'm born and raised Kentish, I am Mercian on my mother's side, so it's King Penda for me!
With what you said about the Anglo-Frisian is just hitting the nail on the head. I came across someone (on a forum, hope he don't mind me repeating what he said) saying that through his archaeological journey in East Anglia, there were flourishing communities throughout the Iron Age up until 360 AD there was nothing. Then around the mid 5th century (100 years later), completely different metal works and pots just popped up in the same area. Farming and burial practices changed also, meaning that the native population must've gone and the new comers came and settled in what they could call home.
So despite all the 'evidence' shown in them reports, we English aren't a complete mix of the two but a Germanic people, and that's something I'm very proud of, as well having the honour to call the Germanic peoples on the continent brothers. Yes, it's always a pleasure talking to people who share the same passion on the same subject as I do! I'll very much share the next video you upload!
P.S., have a look at this site. Not entirely updated seeing some of the counties on here don't exist anymore but it's a real insight of the place names dotted all across England: kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/
Great video ...thanks Hilbert ..for approaching this topic ....
& as for people ....painting Anglo-Saxons as barbaric ...u have to take into consideration ....which time they r living in?....pretty much everyone is barbaric ....that's how the world is back then.....
we should appreciate the fact that those other languages survived under Anglo-saxons ...so that we could talk about them ...
that is something people ....in that period ....other parts of the world....people were being wiped out completely...
Thanks for watching! Yeah we have a lot to thank the Anglo-Saxons for really, and to be glad that they left as much for us behind as they did :)
another great video
Thanks mick!
I have read or heard somewhere that Arthur may have been of Roman/Briton descent....which is why he knew how to fight and wage war.
I think it was more complex than this. I think there were already proto English speaking people already present before and after the Roman occupation. Most of the places in East Britain that the Romans Latinised had a proto English route. Londonium from Landen = Land. Eboracum = Eborough Town. I think it's more likely the Saxons allied with thesse Eastern rulers in the East because they were both Germanic speakers and then deposed the ruling elite because they were soldiers so could arrange a military coup in parts of the country and then expanded their territory. Don't believe there was mass genocide as they needed the ordinary people to continue farming the land
Also they didn't have the means to teach everyone Anglish or enough people to repopulate all of the Eastern part of Britain.
You missed the key story about how the Saxons were invited to Britain by Vortigern to fight off all the other invaders, but pretty soon brought over their families, their 'kings', and finally turned against their employers, murdering them and taking the land for their own. Not for the last time ...
If I am correct, I believe that the occupying Romans forbid the Britons from possessing arms and maintaining a military force.
it is a video very interesting
I talk anglish lol jk English is the one and only + good video
Thanks haha ;)
I am the 7325 sub, and I am happy that I did
great video
Cheers Stefán!
are you doing a History Visualised of france and the netherlands
Potentially if this series is a success I'll put up a poll about if people would like to see the same periods covered in Scotland and Ireland and maybe after that if the style is something people like I might do one for other countries I have interest in, most likely the Netherlands :)
I know It's most unlikely but can you please do a video about the Slavs and how they split up?
excellent!!!
Thank you!
although English is obviously descended from Anglish also known as old English as much as 30% of the modern vocabulary as well as the great vowel shift thanks to the Normans is French! If you attempted to speak to an Anglo Saxon you would not understand a darn thing they said if fact a German speaker would have an easier time translating old English than a modern English speaker. So is it really fair to call it the same language as that spoken by the Anglo Saxons? Descended from I would think but is in fact a very different language.
It is in fact the same language,, that has evolved,, living languages evolve rapidly,, we would struggle to understand a Englishman from the 1600,, ,,dead language,, IE,, language not used except to speak occasionally,, such as Gallic,, Latin,, etc,, will never change
Surely the withdrawn legions would've had within them the best Romano British fighters of that period?
I'm assuming Welsh, Cornish, and Gaelic speakers can understand the English just fine, but can the English understand these Celtic languages?
Yeah, after a lot of linguistic and cultural (dare I say genocide) in the 18th, 19th and especially 20th centuries in the Celtic regions everyone is at least bilingual with English, although any Celtic speaking Englishmen would either have relatives or have learnt for fun rather than it being preserved from before the invasion.
what happened in those centuries? Did the English speakers force Celtic regions to abandon their languages?
Essentially yes, as well as the rising importance of being able to communicate with people outside your village and region. It's quite complex and happened with the language of some of my forefathers in the Netherlands with Western Frisian.
Interesting. Would you say the rise of industry drew more people into the larger cities, consequentially forcing Celtic people to abandon their native language and converse with English speakers?
Yes this is certainly a factor, as were the massive numbers of people driven out by the Highland Clearances who then emigrated to the New World or elsewhere as well as it being punishable to speak the languages in public or in schools where they weren't taught and essentially making people ashamed to speak their language.
It seems to me that any military advantage the Anglo-Saxons had could only last a generation or 2. After that it was more about the eastern half being richer and the Britons being less organized. Also I'm starting to think there were German speakers there besides just the Federati. Some of the Belgae tribes are supposed to have been germanic. If they were the farmers, they wouldn't necessarily have spoken common Brythonic of Latin during the Roman era other than what they needed to know to trade.
Colonization just runs in England’s blood, doesn’t it?
Cant keep a good Conqueror down
Runs in the blood of every people group. The Anglo- Saxons are simply the most successful in more modern times and the best recorded.
@@equalsnein Bit like the Vikings then I suppose but every one thinks it's call when you hear the Viking stories of them raping and murdering people and taking the land maybe it's a Germanic thing and not just an English thing 😊👍🏻🏴
Yeah very swifty
it wasnt Guildas, it was Nennius that tells us of Rowena...Guildas was born the year the Battle of Badon Hill happened...he is the LONE first person claim of the period.
Frisia is closest to East Anglia, but Kent is the easiest to access, safe sail across the narrowest part of the sea, a mere broad strait. Close to what the Romns used 1t time coming, where William (Guillaume) the Conqueror came, and where Nazi artillery could cross the channel also. Starting the journey during a good wind is likely not to turn to a storm before the journey is made. And Atlantic waves are far enough.
I've come to the conclusion, that the invasion happened pecefully mostly. The legend tells they got land in the Kent. Seems like the whole picture went like they became the upper class in the Britain instead of the Romans, except in the Western England, Scotland and Wales. It looks the language was imposed to the locals through government and commerce, once the thanes got the local authority, the locals had to learn their language to deal with their business.
I think their wasn't much fighting. Why? I saw UK archaelogists finding villages from the period, and in the East Coast where the Anglo-Saxons landed, there really aren't signs of burned down villages. Some places which have had habitation since Stone Age so signs of burned down villages before and after the Anglo-Saxon arrival. But almost all the sites they were digging, shwed the peaceful continuation of living in the ancient village. War always leaves some marks of destruction: a layer of ash, graves with bodies inflicted with fatal wounds, which mostly leave som marks in the bones.
A further proof that the invasion went mostly peacefully, is that there's not that much genetic impact the Anglo-Saxons made. Was it 5-10, and not really close to 10 %. The Vikings left about the same impact, as did even the Celts, surprising enough. The Romans left genetic traces even less, at least what comes to Italy. French population has left once again about 10 % inheritage to English. Hard to say then, which came during the Roman, which the Norman period. The percentages vary in different parts of Britain, of course. Wales and Scotland are more Celtic, less of the continental influences came there. And they from each other also. Cambria is close to Wales and Scotland. And Ireland has the least of Anglo-Saxon, Viking or French influence. No Romans there, though the English brought the little they've got with their landlords and soldiers etc. Don't remember if it was the Vikings who were the biggest group after Celts. An Irish peculiarity is the presence of a bit of North African in them, which isn't that common in the British - though it's a small part even in the Irish. Except for the Irish also, the Celts aren't the greatest ancestral group. There's an older group that's larger, the largest genetic group common to these islands.
The greatest genetic group in Britain and Ireland is the Old Western European population from the Pre-Celtic period. They never died out, but always assimilated linguistically, and formed the majority of the population, the rural population, the villagers. Some certainly became part of the leaders too. Seems like the Tories and the Labour Party have been on the Island(s) since the Celtic times at least - or before :) This oldest genetic group is genetically closest related to Basques, though I've understood that there is enough of local mutations nowadays to tell which group the genes represent.
So the oldest genetic stock of the British Islands is British Islanders :) Sorry Irish - if you get amore practical common name covering both Ireland and Britain, you let us know. Hibernia was the Little Britannia the Romans already, I've understood. So it's not a UK invention, though I won't go claiming some them haven't used the name to the disadvantage of the Irish. Names like Atlantic or European Islands sound too vague. If it's any consolation, the genetic cocktailis such, they can normally tell who is Irish and who British - I don't know know if even the oldest stock (the Old Western European) have some genetic markers telling the difference. But there are people who could be from either :)
Btw. I'm from North Europe - haven't got a penny invested in your quarrels. But my nation has mostly been the oppressed too. At EU times by our own bosses mostly. After centuries of foreign oppression in foreign language until 1917, or until little after the mid 19th century at least, we got finally the right to be oppressed in our own language. And own bosses in 1917. That time we got our independence, and the chance the vote our own oppressors.
Well, to be fair they were pretty decent until the collapse of the Communist dream. Guess the fear of those guys kept our politicians pretty level headed.
After they were gone ... well, let's just say that I tried couple of times to write something about it, but it was turning to a novel of EU, 'Free Market Economy', and some other modern time invaders. It's a whole another story, so I had to delete that. It's just that invasion can happen in so many ways.
The anglos were in france
And saxons
They are very close they were in touch
The place names in Eastern Britain that the Romans Latinized like London / Landen (Lands by tbe Thames) to Londinium and Eborough ( East Town?) to Eboracum have Germanic eptimology so some form of Proto English must have been here before the Anglo Saxon migration. I don't see how a limited number of illiterate Germanic warriors with out a centralised administration would have got an entire population to switch language from a different language group. The Roman nor the Normans achieved this with a central litterate administration so how would the Anglo Saxons have done so? Also most of the other Germanic groups that took over in former Roman provinces adopted the local language rather than imposing their own. Franks, Visigoths, Lombards adopted Romance languages. So it feels like their may have been Belgic / flemish tribes in the East that became aligned with tbe Saxons in the East of Britain who they could understand and became English. But the Celtic / Bythonic speaking tribes in the West saw the Saxons as foreign and resisted them. They called rhemselves Cymri but the Saxons called them Welsh in Britain. The Romanised celts they were called Gauls, Whals or Walloons on the continent by Germanic speakers.
My teacher made me watch this
I wish I can sub you twice
Haha thanks man, your support means the world!
Thats it anglo saxons were with romans
The galias
There is germanico
Julio cesar used that name
Germany the today country speaks many dialects
German is a language of the 16 century this era
Actually a lot in common with yiddish
In 400
They find with vikings
The jutes are vikings
The frissians speak something like old english
So who says that they speak celts
Something about the indo european invasion of Britain would be interesting. People often erroneusly believe "celtic" is original.
Celtic culture and language came through to Britain via trade and interactions with the continent (iirc there was no actual invasion).
By comparison the Anglo Saxons came to Britain through conquest and colonisation.
@@venmis137 True! The neolithic farmers who settled there before the kelts (and btw werent the first human inhabitants either) just droped dead and their genes disappeard by accident. The ancestors of the celts genocided the former inhabitants the same way the ancestors of the germanic people did in scandinavia and germania.
Celts came more peacefully,Indo-Europeans weren’t that bad and aggressive,it was mostly a migration
It was not an invasion,it was a peaceful migration
Have you looked into the extent of celtic influences in Devon? I mean it was the heartland of the kingdom of Dumnonia from which Cornwall descends and I'm sure I've read somewhere that Southwestern Brythonic was spoken in Devon well into the Middle ages (although the source currently eludes me). While Devon doesn't have a prominent celtic identity I feel that it has a lot of heritage that gets attributed exclusively to Cornwall. I tend to Consider Cornwall and Devon as siblings with a huge rivalry but common heritage. It's a shame Devon always get considered as just part of England.
Because it is part of England idiot
Cry more Cornishman
ich rede jetzt deutsch aber echt krass, wie sehr das Altenglische dem Neudeutschen von heute ähnelt....
The celts are from france
throegar???... I just about understood what you were referring to on that bit, respect the attempt and accept the apology but it is not a part of our language...you said butchered and I could just about make out what you were trying to say with the fragmented hacked strands : )
Barn is Child in danich.
Cornwall🖤
And they have a different language
Lloegyr is not said as Thoiger, even Loiger is better. The Ll would be logical to write as Lh - like they write rh. So, practice L without the voicing from your throat. It IS a hissing sound like th, s or sh or f - like the English made Floyd from Lloyd. So, just make the sounds of f, s, sh and th (in thigh, not Thy - 'Dhy' would be better spelling) - without vowels. Just blow those raspy sounds.
Notice you don't need to vibrate your throat - they are like whispers, resembling h - raspy sounds. No wonder many of them are spelled with the aid of the h letter. Then put your tongue in the position to utter L. But just blow it the same raspy way as f, s, th, sh & h.
Then you can say Lloegyr, Lloyd, Llewellyn ... OK, Llewellyn is the lesson number 2 :)
Rh is said about the same way, and nh, mh, ngh. But in Irish or Scottish it's different, though the spelling is somewhat close.
Then to practice the melody. Wish you could ask them to slow down a bit, a bit slower they should speak :) If their only was more time on them to do that.
And on the continent they had the huns
Lol at your pronunciation of Lloeger its pronounced LL(Hiss spit sound) OI GER not Throger.
Sorry haha, as you can tell I have very little knowledge of the Celtic languages!
That is 41 per cent of english is french
I'm mixed with anglo saxon and celtic
Most English people are in fact the average English person is only 3-13% Germanic tribes the rest of the English inheritance is Celtic. Which I'm personally quite proud of the ancient Britons where a magnificent and brave people who fought against a superiors power for centuries and despite the brutality inflicted upon them by Rome they never quit fighting for their independence. I don't have any Anglo Saxon and I'm ok with that.
English has to do with indoeuropean
Saxons are french
they were invasions, not migrations. Forced entry. Why call them " Romano-British". They were British even though some took up Roman habits
Well I do agree with you although the migrations came after the invasion and I made the point to differentiate it from a more modern concept of an invasion, like for example the German invasion of the Soviet Union in the 1940's which was planned with various armies being organised to attack various locations and under a central command. The Anglo-Saxon Invasion was not like this in many ways hence why I made the point.
Well the term is used because the Romans did leave behind their DNA in some of the population and the term "Briton" has connotations with the pre-Roman, "Celtic" population and culture which was very much changed after the Romans left Britain, hence why the title.
The things is archeology didnt find any fighting
Arthur is very old
The germanics were in rome
The attacked was from vikings
There was never an Saxon invasion.
My favourite period of history. 410ad-1066ad. Yeah Lloegr----you are butchering it but Iv heard alot worse-trust me!! I moved here from Mercia n 1978 & it took me at least 20yrs to "get it" & then .only.maybe? lol

I dont know about all this DNA rubbish, but i know that all our Villages and towns counties and Cities are Germanic bar a few like London ect, our surnames are all pretty much Germanic, our language is Germanic, our old gods were Germanic, our Country is Named after the Germanic Angles. all the archaeology from 500 AD to 1066 was Germanic, why do we deny our ancestors and deny who they were, and what they fought for, are we scared to be considered similar to Germans because of a silly war 70 years ago. the Germanics are the most successful European people from accomplishments of science travel and technology of today.
we should stop denying our blood and except who and what we are.
Were are Germanic, and we are English..
Noone in Britain denies being Germanic though, but Germanic does not mean German. Germans are just cousins of the English.
Besides, English has arguably more in common with Frisian than it does with German.
The English are Indo-European too, meaning the French, Italians, Iranians and Indians are also distant cousins.
Barn in danish and swedish translates to child
Same in Norwegian. In the case of child its one of the words that hardly changes in many Germanic languages.
i wasent 100% sure about norwegien so i did not mention it :-D
Haha no worries, I learnt some basic Norwegian a little while back :P
The Northumbrian and Geordie dialect contain many words from Old English and Norse. Southern England was contaminated with French after 1066. The North East was somewhat remote and retained much of Old English.
Loads yeah, like "Ah'm gan yem" - "I'm going home" you can see it's more like "Jeg gå hjem" in Norwegian. That's an accurate analysis and if we wanted to peel back the French influence even more one just has to look at Scots spoken in the Borders and southern Scotland.
