Old Saxon Totally Explained

Everything about Old Saxon totally explained

Old Saxon, also known as Old Low German, is the earliest recorded form of Low German, documented from the 9th century until the 12th century, when it evolved into Middle Low German. It was spoken on the north-west coast of Germany and in Denmark by Saxon peoples. It is closely related to Old Anglo-Frisian (Old Frisian, Old English), partially participating in the Ingvaeonic nasal spirant law, Old Dutch, Old East Low Franconian and to Old High German. Only a few texts survive, predominantly in baptismal vows the Saxons were required to perform at the behest of Charlemagne. The only literary text preserved is Heliand.
