English Language?

I am not sure about these sentences I was reading in an article about Iran, Afghanistan etc etc. This one

.........Imagine the confusion that would arise if the term “German” was being used, as it once frequently was, not only to identify German nationality and to designate German ethnicity (which is used to describe a whole people ranging from Germany to Austria and Switzerland), but to identify members of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family. Germanic includes English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Dutch, amongst other languages. Great confusion would arise from calling these other peoples German on top of their other labels.........


And then it states:

.............In turn Western Iranic is part of the larger Iranic branch (or sub-branch, if you consider it one with Indo-Aryan or Indic) of the Indo-European language family, which includes the Slavic, Germanic, Romance, Celtic, Albanian, and Greek languages..............


So if this is true the English speaking people actually speaking Indian. Ha Ha Ha. Just like the comedy series the man says Shakespear is Indian.




I am a selfish person.
