  • Old Frankish was the language of the Franks and it is classified as a West Germanic language. Once it was spoken in areas covering modern Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and adjacent parts of France and Germany. The Franks are descended from Germanic tribes from the Nordic countries that settled parts of the Netherlands and western Germany during the early Iron Age. From the 4th century they are attested as moving from the Roman Empire into what is now the southern Netherlands and northern Belgium. In the 5th and 6th century they expanded their realm and dominated Roman Gaul completely as well as client states such as Bavaria and Thuringia. Old Frankish has introduced the modern French word for the nation, France, to mean "land of the Franks". By the year 800 Frankish had evolved into Old Low Franconian in the area that was originally held by Franks of the 4th century, while in Valois and Île-de-France (Paris) it was replaced by Old French as the dominating language. Old Frankish has also left many etymons in the Walloon language, even more than in French, and not always the same ones. The language of the Franks managed to survive as Old Low Franconian in the north but it was superseded by French in the south. It had some impact on Old French. Old Frankish is almost entirely reconstructed from loanwords in Old French, and from Old Dutch, but in 1996 an intriguing find was made of what appears to be a Frankish inscription.
  • Historiquement le terme francique désigne la langue des Francs ou des régions peuplées par les Francs. Aujourd'hui, par extension, francique désigne certaines langues ou dialectes germaniques parlés en Allemagne, en France, au Luxembourg et en Belgique.
  • 古フランク語（こフランクご）は古代フランク人の言語。西ゲルマン語に属し、現在のオランダとその周辺に当たる地域でメロヴィング朝時代（7世紀以前）に使われた。フランク語ともいうが、現代のこれらの地域で用いられている言語などと区別するために古の字をつける。 フランク人はもと現在のオランダ・フランドルに住んでいたが、南に進出してフランク王国を建てた。のちに古フランク語は北部では古低地フランコニア語となり（さらにオランダ語などになる）、南部---しかしフランスの北半分---では古フランス語に取って代わられたが、この古フランス語、さらに現代フランス語にも大きな影響を遺したのである。 古フランク語は直接書き残されているものではなく、古フランス語への借用語と古低地フランコニア語とから再建されたものである。
