The Germanic tribes that would become modern-day Germans began migrating into the region around four thousand years ago, and the Germanic people have had significant influence in Europe since that time. There are large communities of German-speaking people around the world, and they use dozens of dialects, including Yiddish, Swiss German, and Pennsylvania Dutch.
In countries where German is not the main language, German names are sometimes used in German families, even if the family no longer speaks German.
