Frankish language is a comprehensive term for westGermanic languages and Frankish dialects, which have their historical medieval origin in the east of the Frankish realm. In addition count:
- Niederfränki, that the Netherlands language, Africa to and their dialects covers;
- All languages and dialects of the westCentral German;
- The high-German dialects in the transient area from the Central German to the upper-German language area.
Among linguists there are very different views over it whether and to what extent the Frankish languages and dialects actually represent a “language family “. In addition - up to now missing - the proof would have to succeed that the today's Frankish developed languages and dialects languagehistorically from an original Frankish ( see under “Franconia ( people) “) in languagecomparative investigations.
