Two North Germanic tribes are the Daner (''Dani''), that gave their name to Denmark , and the Suiones (''Svear''), that gave their name to Sweden . According to Jordanes , the Dani and the Suiones (named by him ''Suetidi'') were of the same stock. An example of a West Germanic tribe being culturally assimilated by a North Germanic one, is the assimilation of the Jutes that hadn't left Jutland and have been incorporated into the Dani. And an example of an East Germanic tribe being assimilated, is the assimilation of the Goths that stayed in Sweden by the Suiones. Today's North Germanic–speaking people are the Norwegians , Danes , Swedes , Icelanders and Faroese . |
