Old Saxish

Old Saxish, also known as Old Low German, is the earliest written make of Low Saxish, written from the 9th hundredyear until the 12th hundredyear, when it unfolded into Middle Low German. It was spoken on the north-west shore of Germany and in Denmark by Saxish folks. It is very much akin to Old Anglo-Frisian (Old Frish, Old English), partially taking share in the Anglo-Frish nosely narrowloud law, Old Dutch, Old Low Frankish and to Old High German.

Only a few wordings outlast, mostly in christening vows the Saxes had to do at the behest of Karl the Great. The only written wording upheld is Heliand.
