Germanic-speaking Europe

Germanic-speaking Europe refers to the area of Europe that today uses a Germanic language.

Over 200 million Europeans (some 30%) speak a Germanic language natively.

Independent European countries whose population are predominantly native speakers of a Germanic language:

German is the sole official language in Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein, and is a co-official language in Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the European Union. Several other countries, including Denmark, Hungary, Italy, and Poland, have German as a national minority language.

English is a West Germanic language originating in England, and the first language for most people in Australia, Canada, the Commonwealth Caribbean, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, South Africa and the United States.

One of the consequences of the French influence due to the Norman Conquest in the Middle Ages is that the vocabulary of the English language contains a massive number of non-Germanic words, i.e., Latin-derived words that entered the lexicon after the invasion.
