I never knew that.Dutch to my ear and eye is a softer sounding version of German.I suppose Frisian is an older type of English,i don`t suppose they speak a similar language to Frisian in Angeln do they ?

well not really, the 'anglo saxons' were active around 450ad in continental europe,,,those that didnt leave for england were absorbed into the dominant danelaw communities,,,,,but interestlingly, some 'jutlandish' (a dialect of danish on the juteland peninsula) sentences cannot be ignored, "wat de klock" (how late is it) ;)

Dutch, as well as German, English and the Scandinavian languages, as well as Danish and Icelandic are all languages based on the old Germanic languages. This is why the languages sound so similar, assuming we're talking about Old English.

The development of OE doesnt really have anything to do with the first brittons......OE, is simply a fusion of old germanic dialects ranging from the juteland to the flemmish.
