The Ingaevones or Ingvaeones (also referred to as "North Sea Germans") — ''Ingäwonen'', ''Ingwäonen'', ''Nordsee-Germanen'' in German language — were a West Germanic cultural group or proto-tribe along the North Sea coast. Their name comes from Tacitus's ''Germania (book)'' (''circa'' 98 CE), in which he categorized them as one of the three tribes descended from the three sons of Mannus, son of Tuisto. They probably became distinct from the generality of North Germanic groups between around 1000 BCE and 500 BCE, moving into the areas of Jutland, Holstein, Frisia and the Danish islands, where they had by about 50 BCE become further differentiated into the Frisians, Saxons, Jutes and Angles. The northern dialects of Low German, (Low Saxon, and Dutch language), together with English language and Frisian, may all be classified as the North Sea Germanic or Ingaevonic languages. Even in the distant past these languages seem to have been a collection of closely related dialects, sharing common innovations as the Anglo-Frisian nasal spirant law and continuously influencing each other, rather than diverging linearly from a common linguistic ancestor — a characteristic of West Germanic languages as a whole. Other West Germanic proto-tribes were the Irminones and Istvaeones. Pliny the Elder in his ''Natural History'' (chapter IV, paragraph 99) lists the Ingaevones as one of the five German confederations. According to him they were made up of Cimbri, Teutons, and Chauci. The legendary father of the Ingaevones/Ingvaeones is named Ing (Ingo, or Inguio), son of Mannus. Jacob Grimm, in his ''Teutonic Mythology'', and many others consider this Ing to have been originally identical to the vague Scandinavian Yngvi, eponymous ancestor of the Swedish royal house of the Ynglings. In Nennius we find ''Mannus'' corrupted to Alanus and ''Ingio''/''Inguio'', his son, to ''Neugio''. Here the three sons of Neugio are named as Boganus, Vandalus, and Saxo — from whom came the peoples of the Bogari, the Vandals, and the Saxons and Tarincgi. The element ''Ing-'' as encountered in Old English names is usually considered to be related. The Old English Runic Poem contains these obscure lines: :''Ing wæs ærest mid Eástdenum''
:''gesewen secgum, oð he síððan eást''
:''ofer wæg gewát. wæn æfter ran.''
:''þus Heardingas þone hæle nemdon.'' :Ing was first amidst the East Danes
:so seen, until he went eastward
:over the sea. His wagon ran after.
:Thus the Heardings named that hero. Ancient Roman enemies and allies Ancient Germanic peoples

Great mistake, only called Ingaevones, and not "also referred to as Ingaevones", see Tacitus, 2: ...a God sprung from the earth, and Mannus, his son, as the fathers and founders of the nation. To Mannus they assign three sons, after whose names so many people are called; the Ingaevones, dwelling next the ocean; the Herminones, in the middle country; and all the rest, Instaevones.
