English and German are both Germanic languages
The Germanic languages are a group of related languages that constitute a branch of the Indo-European language family. The common ancestor of all the languages in this branch is Proto-Germanic, which was spoken around the mid-1st millennium BC in Iron Age northern Europe.
English and German are the most widely spoken Germanic languages, with approximately 309-400 million and over 100 million native speakers respectively.
