We just have to know that Accent betrays an Ancient language. This explain the variety of accent found in the various Germanic languages nowadays. many Languages in Europe died during the Germanic conquests. Some survived: The Basque in the Franco-Spanish border is a unique language. Irish is apart. Finnish brought some influence to the Scandinavian Peninsula. Sami are still living in Finland and use their own language, and owned reindeers. The Germanic language also spread during the Viking exploration in the Eastern Coasts including The Islands of the United Kingdom and Ireland and they could later successfully colonize the Island of Iceland, the Land of Ice and Fire. Their journey on the North Atlantic brought them to a Northern island of forest and green landscapes. Greenland before the New Little Ice Era(Little Ice Age) that started in the 16th century to the 1800's which was a period of Hunger, Cold and these old forests disappeared in Iceland and Greenland. They continued their Journey to the Canadian Coast where they landed on the NewFoundLand and Labrador. A long tine before the Vikings, Nordic People invaded the unkown areas of Europe before continuing out of Europe in Asia. They spread their civilization, languages, religions..They are known as "Aryans" in India where they are the founder of the Indus civilization and Hindu Religion.
