"Proto-germanic" Meaning

Proto-Germanic refers to the hypothetical ancestor language from which the modern Germanic languages descended. It is thought to have developed around the 5th century BC from the Proto-Indo-European language. It is also known as Norse, Old Norse, or Ingveonic.

Proto-Germanic is a linguistic ancestor of the North, West, and East Germanic languages spoken by ancient Germanic tribes. It included ancestral languages of modern English, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish. The assumed Germanic vocabulary and structural features demonstrate that Proto-Germanic ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European (PIE), as well as belonged to the larger Indo-European language family.

Proto-Germanic features and some modern English words that came from it include:
