Answer:

The Germanic languages are mainly spoken in Central Europe, Northern Europe, and Northwestern Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Germanic languages are classified into two different categories, namely the 'West Germanic languages' and the 'North Germanic languages'.
  • The German itself, English, and Dutch (aka Netherlandic) fall in the category of the 'West Germanic languages' based on their prevalence in the western part of the continent of Europe.
  • Languages like Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Faroese are counted in the 'North Germanic languages'.
