And the French, i've not included any descendents of immigrants (eg Desailly) as it is pretty irrelevant

Norwegians:


Is it me, or, of all the Scandinavians, the Norwegians appear the most rugged, and look more like Germans than the Swedes do for exemple.

[wendland]

The Dutch language developed out of Lower Frankish, they were part of the Frankish migrations (linguistically).

^The Portuguese seem slightly more brunet than the Spaniards based on these pics, which corresponds to Portugal being the most Mediterranean of all European nations.

[tonynatuzzi]

Yeah Portugal is pretty brunette,less than 10% of Portugal's population have light hair and light eyes so if you see a White Brazilian with light hair and light eyes than its likely that he or she is mixed with other European ethnicities other than Portuguese like German or Polish for example so they are not 100% Portuguese either that or they don't have any Portuguese ancestry at all.Most of the famous Brazilians in politics and entertainment with light facial features are known for being Euro mutts who have more than just Portuguese in them.
