German as a language was first noted by the Romans in the 1st century b.c. The early Germanic tribes were in northern Europe which included mostly southern Scandinavia at the time, and many spread south which ultimately lead to an increase geographically in the German language. This dispersion also led to the formation of many other dialects and eventually languages as well. The Germanic tribes in these regions spoke Germanic, with Indo-European roots, and the variations. One of the oldest known languages from German was Gothic where a Bible translation was found in the 4th century. There were many Germanic tribes who spoke variations of Germanic including the Allemanni, Angles, Teutonic, and the Chauci.
