The Vandals, Sueves and Alans from central Europe crossed the river Rhine and invaded Gaul in 406. The Alemanni from southern Germany took advantage of this to take over Lorraine (in north-eastern France) and Switzerland. The Burgundians also crossed the river Rhine. It is not known exactly when.

The Angles, Saxons and Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians from the north of the Netherland migrated to Britannia in waves and took it over.

All these peoples, except for the Alans, were Germanic. Germanic is a language group which comprises German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and English. These Germanic peoples were the ancestor of the people who speak these modern languages.

The Alans were Iranian speakers.
