{{TOCD}}
The '''Germanic languages''' ([http://www.ethnologue.com/subgroups/germanic gem]) constitute a branch of the Indo-European language family spoken primarily in Europe, Anglo-America and Australasia. The common ancestor of all the languages is called Proto-Germanic, which was spoken approximately in the mid-1st millenium BC in Iron Age northern Europe. Of the over 50 different Germanic languages, the most widely spoken are [[English]], [[German]], and [[Dutch]] with over 450 million speakers in total.

The master plan involves generating independent finite-state transducers for each language, and then making individual dictionaries and transfer rules for every pair. The current status of these goals is listed below.

==Status==
The ultimate goal is to have multi-purposable transducers for a variety of Germanic languages. These can then be paired for X→Y translation with the addition of a [[Constraint Grammar|CG]] for language X and transfer rules / dictionary for the pair X→Y. Below is listed development progress for each language's transducers and dictionary pairs.

===Transducers===
Once a transducer has ~80% coverage on a range of medium-large corpora we can say it is "working". Over 90% and it can be considered to be "production".

===Pairs===

Some Germanic languages that are particularly similar to one another (and hence have high levels of mutual intelligibility) include those in the following list: 

* [[German]] and [[Luxemburgish]] 
* [[Low German]], [[Dutch]], [[Afrikaans]] and [[West Frisian]]
* [[Icelandic]] and [[Faroese]]
* [[Swedish]], [[Danish]], [[ Norwegian (Bokmål)]], [[Norwegian (Nynorsk)]]
* [[English]] and [[Scots]]

====Table of Existing Pairs====
Text in ''italics'' denotes language pairs in the incubator.  Regular text denotes a developing language pair in nursery, while text in '''bold''' denotes a stable well-working language pair in trunk and text in '''''bold and italics''''' denotes a pair in staging. Bidix stems as counted with [[dixcounter]] are displayed below.
