WHAT DOES OLD LOW GERMAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Old Saxon

Old Saxon, also known as Old Low German, is a Germanic language and the earliest recorded form of Low German. It is documented from the 8th century until the 12th century, when it evolved into Middle Low German. It was spoken on the north-west coast of Germany and in the Netherlands by Saxon peoples. It is close enough to Old Anglo-Frisian that it partially participates in the Ingvaeonic nasal spirant law; it is also closely related to Old Low Franconian. It was mutually intelligible with Old English. The grammar of Old Saxon was similar in many ways to Classical Latin. It was fully inflected with five grammatical cases, three grammatical numbers and three grammatical genders. The dual forms occurred in the first and second persons only and referred to groups of two. For a long time, Old Saxon and Old Dutch were not distinguished and often thought to be different dialects of the same language. However, while these two languages both shared the same historical origins and some very similar writing styles, Old Saxon shows a lighter grammar than Old Dutch, which kept many grammatical distinctions that Old Saxon erased.
