The Germanic peoples farmed and kept domestic animals. They were polygamous, and they held slaves. They lived in small settlements (villages), and engaged in warfare, which was the source of prestige and booty. Some engaged in trade, especially with the Roman Empire. In most of the preceding points they differed little from other Northern European peoples. What distinguished them as a group was their language, Proto-Germanic and its daughter languages (Norse [eventually Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Faroese]); the East Germanic languages and peoples (Goths, Vandals, Visigoths), and the West Germanic languages and peoples (especially the Ingvæonic (see glossary) peoples).
