Excerpt from A German Reader for Beginners: With an Introduction on English-German Cognates, Notes and Vocabulary

The anglo-saxons, who in the fifth century began to settle in England, came from northern Germany and spoke low-german, while German proper is a high-german dialect, so that the kinship between German and English, through anglo-saxon, is indeed a very close one. As a natural consequence, they have in common many words of Germanic origin. Such words are called cognates.
