Do other germanic countries view england as a germanic country?

I hear you. I'm a language student but I'm not touching non-Romance/Germanic languages.

I like the eastern languages like Czech and Russian. They are interesting to me. Hard from what I hear.

Not so bad, actually.

Wrong. Scottish people also get a germanic influx (it was a minor, in lesser degree)

100% Celtic people looks like latino European.... Like Southern France...

There is no good reason to say I'm wrong there. It is likely that Both Britons and Scots had 'Germanic' DNA before the Romans came, so their appearance would not have changed much by 800 AD. It is not easy to tell apart English, Welsh and Irish people.

Only British people were who could rival with Hungarians in the contribution in science and technology between 1840-1945 period. (If you consider the difference between the size of the two popultions)

I believe that, Without dominant germanic genetics, the English population would be darker pigmented and less intelligent. It would have been a smaller island version of celtic France.... Without germanic blood England would be similar to neo-latino European countries, whose contribution in technology and science are signifficantly less important in the modern era.

You've been drinking too much of the Kool Aid and reading too much Mein Kamph. The evidence doesn't seem to support what you are saying because the Irish who have less Germanic input are more blue eyed and lighter skinned than the British average so how does that prove that Germanic blood made the English a lighter population? Sure Britain has contributed a lot in technology and science but I don't know how you can make a case that it was due to any Germanic input when they have more native Briton genes than Germanic ones. I don't know why being Germanic is given all the credit.

Well, thanks for all the responses.It seems most agree on england being half germanic and half britton.again thanks

Well it was formed as a Germanic land with some Celts in it, and some mixed people.
Actually Wales has Germanic ancestry, speaks a Germanic language and isn't all that different from it's neighbors. Maybe the Welsh are actually Germans in denial?

Not even the English look germanic at all... look at english football supporters and they look heavily pre-celtic/pre-germanic more like those Bronze Age populations, hardly any truly germanic looking person. Anywhere in Central or central-eastern europe you see more people resembling germanics than in the UK.

The English people are definitely Germanic. Their language is another story entirely. I wonder if speakers of other Germanic languages generally perceive the English language as particularly distant from their own, and from other Germanic languages.

Wales has few Germanic ancestry, except for the southern valleys where almost everybody has English ancestry just almost everybody in England has Irish ancestry.

25% - 30% of the Welsh have Germanic Y-DNA.
