Can you say something about your country that makes no sense?

@LizOwen Wow that is so complicated. I never heard of the original British people, were they also a Germanic tribe?

@LizOwen England was called Angland. The original tribes in what is now England are now Welsh. The Romans invasion pushed the English tribes in to Wales. The ones that ran away. Britain refers to the island England, Wales and Scotland sit on. Great Britain includes the islands round it.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether No- they were Celtic; the English tribes - Angles, Saxons and Jutes were Germanic. The British were here first and the English-German tribes are unwanted invaders.

@Gumba1000 Not far off! But the original tribes were either massacred, assimilated or remained in Wales (Wales is the old English for foreigner) Great Britain is the nations of Wales, England and Scotland; as compared to Lesser Britain, or Brittany in what is now France

@LizOwen "Britain" comes from "Britannia", Roman latin. Or "Pritani" which those in Cornwall called us. Both words come from before Brittany. Brittany is derived from Britannia. Tribes in England did move into Wales with the Roman invasion. Of course there already were tribes native to Wales there too.

@Gumba1000 Yes Welsh tribes, or kingdoms in Wales. Some of the indigenous British escaped the savage Germanic tribes by crossing to Brittany, which was named after them.

@LizOwen Emigration certainly increased to Brittany then. It was happening in a century before that invasion too.

@Gumba1000 And increased when the Germanics began their murderous invasion.

That's what I said.
