Are English People Celtic Or Germanic?

[rahuldeka]

English people are mixed with both German and Celt

[croatianwarmaster]

43% Germanic on average. The east is way more Germanic and in Yorkshire and Lancshire there is a great deal of Danish and Norwegian blood. English culture and tongue are nearly fully germanic, not much celtic.

[dylansearcy]

Dutch and English sound similar and they're both germanic languages

[drowjack]

Nowdays they are close to Syria and India

[sagarus-x]

The English are a variable mix of native "Celtic Briton" and Germanic tribes. But the average English person is only ~30% Germanic and it peaks in East Anglia while it greatly diminishes the further West.

[ArienvanRijswijck]

To be fair, West-Europe in general is genetically really close to each other.

I'm a mix half norwegian and english my ancestors on my fathers side are anglo saxons and from my mothers side Vikings.

[thomaszaccone]

Anglo-Saxon was very close to Friesian. It's still spoken in a few areas of the Netherlands. But I would go with Germanic.

[jessewrites]

We are Celtic and Germanic Christians.

I don’t think people realise how old and ancient English people are as well as other countries in the Isles 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇲

[MaryinTheCotswolds]

We are Anglo-Saxon! Ef anyone who wants to deny us our endonym/roots

[tzenzhongguo]

They are black African in origin like Netflix claims about everything else. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[McConnachy]

Its all factually wrong, English may be closer to the Germanic people, but the next closest are the Welsh, who you don't mention, the Scots and Irish are more distant.

Emilia Clarke has a trace of non European lineage from India. I guess from her Grandmother or great grandmother's father who was an Indian.
However, other English people truely have closer genetic link to the scottish, the irish, the Danes and even the Dutch.

The English are the Most goat people group

[chrisapperley]

I’m English/welch from Gloucestershire and have more Celtic dna than Germanic! There is evidence of germanic people being in Britain before the Romans which makes sense because they found a boat called the dover boat one of the oldest boats in the world so they were in contact and trading!

[奏一朗Soichiro-]

And the problem… the Dutch is Germanic🌞

[Knappa]

Irish?? The Celtic Britons were Brythonic - ancestors of modern day Welsh.
Nothing to do with the Irish who are Gaels / Goidelic.

[Thor-Orion]

Well that’s because the Angles, Saxons and Juts crossed the English Channel from the continent at the span of coastline going from Denmark south along Germany’s northern coast and then westward across the northern coasts of Holland and Belgium.
