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 Old High Franconian)
  • 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)
