Is England a Truly germanic country?

[Bloody]

Language barely germanic (tons of lattin, french influences)
Physical appearance of people is clearly different from what you find in other germanic countries.
Culture and social dynamics are different again, the english in the same way as the Irish, Americans, Australians,etc love to do smalltalk and have a more complex a developed sense of humor which they feel the need to share. IN germanic nations people avoid smalltalk and prefer to keep distance, and directness is more appreciated over politenes.

Is England truly germanic? I believe asides the language factor there are several counties who are more close to the Real Germanic homelands in everything but language than england really is.

The mentality of English people seem to me personaly kinda non-germanic

Most of English I have met are more outgoing and less "cold" than Germans or Scandinavians, a trait which is more common in Southern Europe. On the other hand, who is truly Germanic? ther Germans with their eastern European influence? Some people may answer Scandinavians. I will respond, why?

Genetically? Dutch, Northern Germans, Southern Danes.
Now there might be differences in behaviour and social dyamics between the germanic countries, but England if considered germanic would stick like a sore thumb. I think Czech people behave and look more germanic than the English, only they speak a slavic language and thus classed as west slavs. I dont know what eastern european influence are you pointing out in germans... If anything its Czech and Poles who have german influence more than the other way around.

From my personal experience, no, the opposite, eastern and Southern Germans behave to a degree like Slavs, not vice versa. Czechs are very different from the rest of germanics, like Dutch, they have nothing in common with them. Czechs are not significantly different from the rest of Slavs

Are you being serious? There are not that huge differences between the germanic countries, scandinavians, dutch and germans are not that different from eachother, but British people can be nonsensical violent, they go abroad behaving like they own the place, they also can be extremely talkative and never go to the point, unlike the classical germanic directness.

northwesten germans yes, but i repeat, there is a significant eastern influence in southern and eastern regions

But lets go back to the topic, are English people germanic?

Its nonsensical that people claim English are germanic and that the Welsh, irish, scots are celtic. English are very similar culturally to the Irish, scots and welsh and very different to any germanic nation, in behaviour, culture, physical appearance, social dynamics... thats my point.

Original inhabitants pre-Anglo Saxon invasion were mix of meds and celts yes?

Then Anglo-Saxons who were danish, then vikings.

Mostly Germanic.

But the anglosaxon admix runs 10-30% in the UK how are they mostly germanic when obviously most of their genetics are not germanic? and how are they mainly germanic when they are 10 times closer to Irish in culure, physical appearance, behaviour, etc than they are to germanic people in continental europe and scandinavia?

Celts were from most aspects closer to "Meds" than to germanics
