I say that the english one is from tamil onRu-onnu-oNdu! What do you vedics say now? ?

The German numbers: eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn

Deutsch - Tamil
eins - ains
zwei (sometimes zwo) - tsvai (tsvo)
drei - dhRai
vier - (f)viar
fünf - (f)vyun(f)v
sechs - seks
sieben - sIpen
acht - akd
neun - noyn
zehn - sEn
11 - elf - el(f)v
12 - zwölf - tsvel(f)v

So the english numbers are more germanic than of any other.

For example take the "shit" (cit -in tamil) - the scots say shite (cait - in tamil) and the germans say Scheiße (caise - in tamil)

Further England comes from Angelland which is german meanig the land for angling. And the germans spoke of Angelsachsen (angelsaksen in tamil) which only means the angling Saxons. Saxons are one of the german tribes like the Bavarians, Prussians, Swabians. English is also very near to Low German that is still spoken by some of the north costal Germans.
