chauki
appearance: c. -
dispersal: c. -
ascendancy: north germans[1]
the chauki were originally described as more closely related to the teutones and cimbri, but this is not helpful because we don't really know a lot about who the teutones or cimbri were. they were probably germans with a heavy celtic influence, and this would speak to a northern distribution and not a southern one.....
so, the chauki/saxon affiliation seems doubtful. the saxons would have invaded from the south, stayed in the north, and then gone back to the south.
