Summary

Description
English: Map showing the approximate extent of the Old Frankish language during the 6-7th century.

Legend:

  • 1: Old Frankish language area (ancestral to Old Low Franconian and partially to Old High German)
  • 2. Northsea Germanic dialects (ancestral to Old English, Old Frisian, Old Saxon)
  • 3. Elbe Germanic dialects (partially ancestral to Old High German)
  • Red line: the Somme-Aisne-line, north of which Germanic toponymns dominate.
  • Yellow line: approximative extent of the High German consonant shift during the Early Medieval Period. (note: its position is not identical to that of the later Benratherline, as the current westernmost position of this isogloss is due to 12th and 13th century developments)

  • Kerkhof, P.A. [Peter Alexander]: Language, Law and Loanwords in Early Medieval Gaul: Language Contact and Studies in Gallo-Romance phonology, Doctoral Thesis, Leiden, 2018, pp. 24 [it's either p. or other pages are missing]. [1]
