Define Germanic

[Logan]

If you're suggesting that R1b Y-DNA makes you Celtic, then how do you explain R1b Y-DNA outside of Europe? In Syria, 13.5% of samples show R1b Y-DNA, and in Kudistan (Iraq) the frequency is 17%, according to Eupedia.

It's explained rather well within the site you gave a link to, click on Migration Maps.

Depends on your values, I guess. If you're really into raping and pillaging, then yeah, the Germanics were superior to the Celts.

I have good values. I'm also not feeble minded enough to buy into Christian propaganda BS, like you have. While the Celts were subjugated and defeated everywhere they went, by Germanic tribes or the Romans, the Germanic tribes managed to beat the Romans, build cities and trade routes and have their languages and cultures spread across the globe.

Thank the Germanics for writing your obnoxious comment to me in English. Where are the Celtic languages and cultures now? Who's a sore loser?

I'm obviously a bit of an oddity here in Wales, where it's <1%

The 1st map seems to be wrong. R1b1b2a1a2 is S116 and not P107.

A bit better?

Interesting. The heartlands of the Kingdoms are in red - Bernicia, the Trent valley, upper Thames and coasts of Essex and East Anglia. Was the sample size and technique adequate for historical purposes, though?

Hwicca and Defnascir are pretty well covered.

It needs to be updated. Methodology is in the link below.

Have all taken to a laboratory in order to define Germanic these days?

[Wild North]

Bump.

I believe the simplest way to define: Germanic is simply an Indo European ethno-linguistic group.
