Detailed explanation-1: -The most widely spoken Germanic language, English, is also the world’s most widely spoken language with an estimated 2 billion speakers.
Detailed explanation-2: -It includes, for example, the English-, German-, Dutch-, Danish-, Swedish-and Norwegian-speaking communities. Over 200 million Europeans (some 30%) speak a Germanic language natively.
