how goes it

The story

1. Danish · calque ofhvordan går det
2. Dutch · calque ofhoe gaat het
3. German · calque ofwie geht es
4. English todayhow goes it

The phrase is a regular Early Modern English equivalent of how's it going (when neither progressive tenses nor do-support were obligatory). As such it could have survived through regional dialects. Nevertheless modern usage is likely a calque of German wie geht es, perhaps additionally also Dutch hoe gaat het, Danish hvordan går det, etc.
