Germanic.
The main stem of Teutonic: divided into (1) High-German, (2) Low-German.
Under (1) we class the sub-branches called Old High-German and Middle High-German; from which again issue the modern dialects of High-German. Under (2) we class Mœso-Gothic, Anglo-Saxon, Old Dutch, Old Frisian, and Old Saxon, from which again issue the modern dialects of England, Friesland, N. Germany (Platt-Deutsch), Holland, and Flanders.
