Best Answer

All the invaders of the western part of the Roman Empire were Germanic peoples, except for the Alans, who were Iranian speakers

In 406 the Vandals, Sueves and Alans from central Europe invaded Gaul (France, Belgium, Holland south of the river Rhine, and Germany west of the Rhine). The Alemanni from southern Germany took advantage of this to take over Switzerland and Alsace (in north-eastern France). The Burgundians from central Europe moved into the area of Germany west of the river Rhine and were then resettled in eastern France by the Romans. The Visigoths and the Franks, which had been allowed to settle in parts of the Roman Empire, also started to take over Roman territories in the west. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians form the north of the Netherlands migrated to Britain in waves and took it over.

The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part.
