Hmm.. that's interesting because I assumed that English was actually based off German.

The important thing here is the ic at the and of Germanic. There used to be a language nowadays called Germanic from which many languages evolved.

West Germanic, which evolved into the languages listed earlier (And more).
East Germanic (Goth), which died.
North Germanic, which evolved, among others, into Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish.
