The German and English language are both believed to be descended from which source?

Both German and English are believed to be descended from Proto-Germanic.

Proto-Germanic is a reconstructed language that is the common ancestor of all Germanic languages, including English, German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and many others.

It's important to note that Proto-Germanic itself is not a written language that we can access directly. It is reconstructed by linguists based on the similarities between the various Germanic languages.
