The Germanic branch was divided into three sub-
branches during the Roman Iron Age (1400 CE)
namely East Germanic, North Germanic, and West

language.
Some of the Old English words that we still have
today are live, love, heaven, fight, good, evil, man,
wife, child, sleep, eat, house, stone, rain, one, two,
three, green, black, the, an, to, for, but, around, will,
do, and, with, and compound words like mankind
and blackbird.
