Helpful, thanks m8!
@@SebastianWestin Thank you very much for encouraging me! It means a lot to me. 😊
I come from the Swabish part of Bavaria. In our dialect we really have all words exactly with the same pronounciation. It`s really amazing for me. Swabia (Suaven - Sueven - Sueden - Sweden) - Isn`t it amazing?
@@sissitop1505 I am glad to hear that you come from the Swabian part of Bavaria. I have been to Augsburg before. Actually my dad lived in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz. It’s really amazing with different languages and dialects. I am interested in Germanic languages and dialects. I speak some Berlin dialect, because I have lived in Berlin before, but I also would like to learn Bavarian.
Swedish is spoken by small local cultural populations that's not related to modern migration in Estonia, some who where forcefully relocated to Ukraine (Gammelsvenskby) by Russia in the 1700's who still speaks an old dialect of Swedish. The US have a small and aging Swedish speaking community from Swedish settlers coming to the new world in 1600--1900's as well, like in Lindstrom, Minnesota.
i could be biased being half swedish and learning Hochdeutsch now (a2/low b1), but i think they're pretty similar! although i think what they have in common might be common amongst all PIE languages, even ones like Farsi, but i'm pretty ignorant on that topic
@@jenm1 Yes, you are right. They are pretty similar, because both of them are Germanic languages, but actually all Indo-European languages have something common. I speak just a bit Farsi, but there are many words in Farsi that exist in other languages. The words “pædar” (father), “mædar”(mother), “doxtar” (daughter), “barodar” (brother).
"Becomes"? You make it sound like German was the norm :) In fact, so called standard German (and High German) is the germanic language that had drifted the most from its roots. Much more so than Swedish, Low German, Dutch, or even English.
No English is the most drifted Germanic language out of all Germanic languages not German. English has latin, Norman and Celtic influences that's it's almost a pigeon or Creole language 40 % of English is not Germanic origin only core and daily vocab is dominated by Germanic roots. Also high German grammar is also more conservative to Porto Germanic grammar with caste system and gender nouns then dutch or Frisian is. idk about north Germanic languages tho.
But I agree with you I think he missed spoke because Germanic languages do not come from "german". Just correcting ur comment about German being more drifted then English and Dutch. But yes the Germanic languages don't come from so-called German but instead German and all Germanic languages come from proto Germanic. The same way humans don't come from chimps but chimps and humans come from the same proto ape lol.
