Best Answer

Because their parents spoke german with them.

Actually, it's a mystery to linguist where the indogerman dialect evolved. All that is known, is that somehow, several thousand years ago, people from the south migrated to the area that's now known as Germany an brough their language with them.

In a way this is a circular question. The definition of a German is somebody who speaks German. If the didn't speak German they wouldn't be Germans!
