Summary

Description
English: The different West Germanic language regions in the Old-German period (around the year 962 when Otto I was emperor), based on the map DeutschesSprachgebiet962.png ;


Data for the different regions taken from "Köbler, Gerhard, Althochdeutsches Wörterbuch, (4. Auflage) 1993"; See also: Oldhighgerman Dictionary - University of Innsbruck (german)

All 5 indicated West Germanic language variants have undisputed documents and primary sources. Old Thuringian has no undisputed primary sources and is hence not indicated on the map, but marked as Franconian. Lombardic and Old English aren't indicated either.

Caption in Standard German says the following (from top to bottom):

  • Old Franconian (Rhine, Mosel, Central and Low Franconian)
  • Old Alemannic
  • Old Bavarian
  • Old Saxon
  • Old Frisian (should not be included on the map)



Borders : Mind that the borders drawn on this map are only approximate. Not enough data has been handed down from the Early Medieval Period to guarantee 100% accuracy for any historic conclusion.
