The Origins of the Germanic Speaking Tribes

Around 33 hundred b c, many linguists and archaeologists believe the first ancestors of the germanic speaking tribes started to split away from the main group of indo european speakers. These people had a shared set of dialects within the same language family,. But they probably did not see themselves as some unified group of people or tribes. They were part of a culture that archaeologists call the usitovo culture. And it's this group of Indo-Europeans who spoke a dialect which many historians now believe led to the original germanic language from which english derived.
