Germanic
The Germanic languages denotes a group of languages historically spoken in Central Europe, Scandinavia and Iceland. The Germanic languages are traditionally split in three groups. The North Germanic branch includes the Scandinavian languages, Faroese, and Icelandic – and previously also Norn. The West Germanic branch covers German, Dutch, Frisian, English, and their ancestors. The now extinct East Germanic branch are the languages that were spoken by Goths, Burgundians, Vandals and the Heruli people.

Som Hjärtat rörer, at hwar älskar Makan sinn?
Nú hefi ek sagt ykkr æfisögu mína, segir hann. Mikil þiki mèr saga þín, fóstri! segir Sigmundr; en nú vil ek: segja þèr, at ek hefi eigi vel launat þèr þinn velgjörníng ok fóstr, þvíat dóttir þín sagði mèr, þá er vit skildum, at hún væri með barni, ok er þar eingi maðr í týgi til, nema ek, ok því fór ek mest í brott, at ek hugði, at okkr mundi þat áskilja.
