Pretty much nothing. The only time that the two people were really related in any manner was when the Anglo-Saxons (The Angles, the Jutes, and the Saxons) took over what we now call England which at the time belonged to The Celts and the Druids(Irish, and Scottish). If you want to learn more read about them in a history book on Wikipedia. History is a good thing to know. :)

The common language of much of Europe today is?
Russian is the most common language in Europe, mainly due to the native speaking population (about 120,000,000 in recognized European boundaries alone). German is the next most common language, and is known by over half of all EU citizens. However, English is pretty much tied with German in number of speakers, and is spoken by almost half of EU citizens as well. Today, the most important languages of Europe are German and English, due to their power and influence throughout the continent and the world. French is also a common language, although not as popular as German or English.
Which languages are German similar to?
Languages similar to German are the other germanic languages, namely: Danish, Dutch, English (and Scotts), Frisian, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish.

North Germanic are the scandinavian languages (Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish) and West Germanic are Dutch, English, Frisian and German; wich means that Englsih itself is one of the closest languages to German!Also, Germany (and the other German speaking countries) have lots of dialects (regional languages) wich range in proximty to the other germanic languages. Standart German is considered part of the High German languages, wich means the ones developed in the high lands closer to the Alps, those languages are somewhat more distant to Englsih, Dutch, etc. The northern dialects (usually called Low German or Low Saxon) are much closer to Dutch, wich is usually considered an intermediate between German and Englsh.

Is German older than Latin?
One can't really compare the ages of languages. In this case there are various problems:Latin is not a 'living' language and has changed relatively little over the centuries - because it's not acquired naturally as a mother tongue, but has to be learned consciously.The Germanic languages, on the other hand, have undergone immense changes since the fall of the Roman Empire in Western Europe. At the time when Rome fell, many of the Germanic tribes were speaking West Germanic or Gothic or an early forerunner of the Scandinavian languages.Latin has, to a significant extent, remained almost frozen, while other languages have not. If you want a simple answer, I suppose the answer is no, but one needs to bear in mind the background.Modern German is much younger than Latin, but one cannot really be sure if Old High German (the first stage of German as a separate language from common West Germanic) is younger or older than Latin since they are very old languages wich already evolved into modern languages, namely the modern German language and the Romance languages.
Is Dutch the same as German?
No. Dutch is not the same as German. Dutch is a part of the Germanic language family which means much of it came from the same ancestral language as German. Still, the languages are not the same. English also came from that language family but Dutch is closer. That simply means that a person speaking Dutch would recognize far more German words than someone speaking English. You may be able to read a few German words such as haus for house, hande for hand, or apfle for apple. There is a great difference between being able to pick out a lot more written words in a sentence and actually reading the language. The Wycliffe Society establishes 70% similarity as the break point to determine if one or two languages exist. Two languages exist.

Almost half the people on this planet speak an Indo-European language. The "Indo"-part of the name is caused by the fact that several eastern languages, notably Indian and Iranian dialects and languages, have the same roots as most European languages.
