    "When the Roman legions left Britain, the native Britons were left to defend themselves.At this time, the Britons were less warlike than they had been prior to the Roman occupation.The Britons were exposed to the threat of attack from the Picts of caledonia to the north. The Roman patrolling of Hadrian's Wall had ceased. The southern and eastern coasts were also exposed since no Roman fleet patrolled the Channel and the North Sea. The Picts and Scots of Caledonia attacked the northern border. The Britons requested help from the Jutes, a Germanic tribe, to push the Picts and the Scots back.In return for their help, the Jutes were given the Isle of Thanet off the north-east coast of Kent."
    Yes, they settled there

    No, they didn't. Provide me with some proof. You are in uncharted territory right now.

    This is my home field. You're gonna need more than lackluster pitching.

    Probably trolling me, you fucking bastard.

    Icelandic is the most beautiful language in the world so it's obviously the most beautiful Germanic one aswell. Swedish is the second most beautiful of the Germanic languages IMO.

    Definitely Icelandic. Though Faroese comes in at a close second. I met a Faroese girl about a year ago now and it's very nice sounding; like a mild Icelandic.

    English simply for the comprehensive nature of the vocabulary. Phonetically however it's far from the nicest sounding Germanic Language in my opinion.
