The migration-period peoples who would coalesce into a " German " ethnicity were the Saxons, Franci, Thuringii, Alamanni and Bavarii.

From the 6th century onwards, the northern parts of the later archbishopric were resettled by Germanic Bavarii tribes, who established themselves among the remaining Romance population, while Slavic tribes moved into the southern Pongau and Lungau parts.

The Bavarii defeated the central European Germanic Rugian tribe in 487 AD.

The 3rd century saw the emergence of a number of large West Germanic tribes: Alamanni, Franks, Bavarii, Chatti, Saxons, Frisii, Sicambri, and Thuringii.

From the 2nd century onwards, many of the Germanic tribes recorded as active during the Principate started to unite into bigger tribal unions, resulting in the Franks, Alamanni, Bavarii, and Saxons.

When Styria came under the hegemony of Charlemagne as a part of Carantania ( Carinthia ), erected as a border territory against the Avars and Slavs, there was a large influx of Bavarii and other Christianized Germanic peoples, whom the bishops of Salzburg and the patriarchs of Aquileia kept faithful to Rome.

The Bavarian regiolect has its origins in the Germanic tribe known as the Bavarii, who established a tribal duchy, which covered much of what is today Bavaria and some of Austria in the early Middle Ages and was eventually subdued by Charlemagne.

It was also under Frankish hegemony that the other Germanic societies east of the Rhine began to codify their tribal law, in such compilations as the Lex Alamannorum and Lex Bajuvariorum for the Alemanni and Bavarii respectively.

* Bavarii, of Germanic tribe, The first part " baio " refers to the name of the Celtic Boii tribe

Following the downfall of the West Roman Empire in 476 AD the region went to the Duchy of Bavaria in the 7th century in the wake of the European migrations and as result of the settlement of the Germanic tribe of the Bavarii.

* Bavarii, Bajuwari, Baiwaren, Bajuwaren tribe of Bavaria, The first part " baio " refers to the name of the Celtic Boii tribe,

This name has been handed down as Baiwaren, Baioaren, Bioras, latinised Bavarii, Baioarii.

According to the customs of the Bavarii the settlement was named after their leader Strupinga, which later evolved into the name Straubing.

Its name ( Dreiländerspitze means peak of three countries ) refers to a meeting point between the territories of three ancient tribes ( Rhaeto-Romance or Romansch, Bavarii and Alamanni ) and their languages.

He ordered that the Lex Baiuvariorum, the tribal law of the Bavarii, be written down.

or Bavarii, Bavarians, Bajuwaren, Bajuvarii, Bajuwaren and Baiern.

However, there is no longer any real evidence that the rulers of Bavaria belonged to a people called the Bavarii.

Later, in the sixth century, another Celto-Germanic people, the Bavarii occupied these lands until it fell under the Frankish Empire in the ninth century.

Starting in the 6th century, the Bavarii started moving in from north, while from the south the Italian language started pushing in, which further shrank the original extent of the Ladin area.

The northern part of Tyrol came under the influence of the Bavarii, while the west probably was part of Alamannia.

The northern part of Tyrol came under the influence of the Bavarii, while the west probably was part of Alamannia.

After the fall of the western Roman Empire, Bavarii settled in the Kitzbühel region around 800 and started clearing forests.

Around 800, during the reign of Charlemagne, settlement by the Bavarii began.

From about 530, Bavarii tribes settled the region from the west, they met with Alpine Slavs who had moved northwards through the Enns Valley and across the Dachstein Mountains.

In the 6th century the German speaking Bavarii started to inhabit the plateau, gradually extruding the Romansh from day to day language.

In 550, following an invasion of Bavarii, the town of Sterzing take place, the first mention of a town called Wibitina dates back to the years between 985 and 990.

True, we do not know how they were regarded in their day, but we need not believe the epic audience to have been more insensitive to the formulas than the numerous scholars of modern times who have read Germanic or Homeric poetry all their lives and still found much to admire in occasional occurrences of the most familiar phrases.

The Runic alphabets were used for Germanic languages from AD 100 to the late Middle Ages.

The Germanic elites were Arians, and the majority population was Nicene.

Most Germanic tribes were generally tolerant of the Nicene beliefs of their subjects.

The Franks and the Anglo-Saxons were unique among the Germanic peoples in that they entered the empire as pagans and converted to Nicene ( Catholic ) Christianity directly, guided by their kings, Clovis and Æthelberht of Kent.

The Alemanni ( also Alamanni, Alamani ) were a confederation of Suebian Germanic tribes located on the upper Rhine river.

It indicates that they were a conglomeration drawn from various Germanic tribes.

The arrangement of crowning a successor as royal prince and military commander is well known among other Germanic tribes, such as the Swedes and Franks, to whom the Anglo-Saxons were closely related.

During the final decades of imperial rule, the troops were supplied by Germanic chieftains employed by the Roman administration.

The events described in the poem take place in the late 5th century, after the Anglo-Saxons had begun their migration to England, and before the beginning of the 7th century, a time when the Anglo-Saxon people were either newly arrived or still in close contact with their Germanic kinsmen in Scandinavia and Northern Germany.

While " themes " ( inherited narrative subunits for representing familiar classes of event, such as the " arming the hero ", or the particularly well-studied " hero on the beach " theme ) do exist across Anglo-Saxon and other Germanic works, some scholars conclude that Anglo-Saxon poetry is a mix of oral-formulaic and literate patterns, arguing that the poems both were composed on a word-by-word basis and followed larger formulae and patterns.

One historian, Charlotte Behr, thinks that the Historia's account of the arrival of the Germanic invaders in Kent should not be considered to relate what actually happened, but rather relates myths that were current in Kent during Bede's time.

Over the last half of the 20th century, historical and archaeological research has increasingly supported the theory that the remnants of the Celtic Boii were absorbed into the Roman Empire and later intermingled with other Germanic peoples who chose to stay ( or were stationed by the Romans ) in the area.

The Batavi were an ancient Germanic tribe, originally part of the Chatti, that lived around the Rhine delta, in the area that the Romans called Batavia and that is currently the Netherlands, from the second half of the first century BC to the third century AD.

: The barbarians thought that Romans would not be able to cross it without a bridge, and consequently bivouacked in rather careless fashion on the opposite bank ; but he sent across a detachment of Germanic tribesmen, who were accustomed to swim easily in full armour across the most turbulent streams.

The Bastarnae or Basternae () were an ancient Germanic tribe, who between 200 BC and 300 AD inhabited the region between the eastern Carpathian mountains and the Dnieper river ( corresponding to the modern Republic of Moldova and western part of southern Ukraine ).

Although possibly Celtic-speaking in 179 BC, the Bastarnae probably were Germanic in language and culture during the 1st century AD, but appear to have become assimilated by their neighbouring Sarmatians by the 3rd century.

In any case, other Greco-Roman writers of the 1st century AD are unanimous that the Bastarnae were, in their own time, Germanic in language and culture.

Shchukin states that rather than trying to label them Celtic, Germanic or Sarmatian, the " Basternae were the Basternae ".

A number of other European languages have cognate words that were borrowed from the Germanic languages during the Middle Ages, including brog in Irish, bwr or bwrc, meaning " wall, rampart " in Welsh, bourg in French, burg in Catalan ( in Catalonia there is a town named Burg ), borgo in Italian, and burgo in Spanish ( hence the place-name Burgos ).

The next six years were devoted in their entirety to assuring Frankish authority over the dependent Germanic tribes.

The Cimbri were probably Germanic, though some believe them to be of Celtic origin.

A major problem in determining whether the Cimbri were speaking a Celtic or a Germanic language is that at this time the Greeks and Romans tended to refer to all groups to the north of their sphere of influence as Gauls, Celts, or Germani rather indiscriminately.
