English Language with German roots

[Bruce]

Yes, there are alot of German words in the English Language.
If you read about the history of England and the rest
of Great Britain (GB) you will see that the Angles,
Saxons and Jutes, who were North German people,
came over to England about 400AD and started to settle.
They brought their own language with them of course.
After beating up the island people of Gaelic (Celtic)
origin and Briton (Iberian/Spanish) origin, they began
to dominate the island and you can see today that England
itself is dominated by Angles, Saxons and Jutes.
Where do you think the word England came from?
Yes, you?ve guessed it. Angle-land.
Angleland is England. If you look at the name of the
southern counties of England the answer is clear.

East Anglia = East Angleland
Norfolk = North folk (German = Nordvolk)
Suffolk = South folk (German = S?dvolk)
Sussex = (Sus) South (sex) Sax ... Saxon (German = Sachsen)
Essex = East Saxon
Middlesex = Middle Saxon
East Sussex = East South-Saxon
West Sussex = West South-Saxon
Wessex = West Saxony (does not exist anymore)

Kent = the county where the Jutes settled, and they are a little different.

Maybe it should be called ... Jent ... instead of Kent, because they are supposed to be the typical English Gentleman in behaviour.
That means ... Jent ... for Jentleman - Gentleman.
That was my play on words - by the way.

Best Wishes, Bruce.
