Thus, the archaeological and genetic evidence supports the idea that English and Frisian have a common ancestor, appropriately called Anglo-Frisian, that was spoken in the northern part of Germany and spread westwards along the coast in the 5th century.

Frisian language, the West Germanic language most closely related to English. Although Frisian was formerly spoken from what is now the province of Noord-Holland (North Holland) in the Netherlands along the North Sea coastal area to modern German Schleswig, including the offshore islands in this.
Just as Frisia became depopulated in the 4th century, archaeology suggests that Angeln (now East Schleswig, Germany) experienced some level of depopulation in the 5th to 9th cen-turies, as Germanic people settled in England and Frisia.
