Middle Low German

Middle Low German is the offspring of Old Low German and is the forerunner of the Low German tung these days. It was the widespread shared tung of the Hansa band. It was spoken from about 1100 to 1500.

Kindred tungs
The neighbour tungs within the byleid grounds of the West Teutonish tungs were Middle Dutch in the west and Middle High German in the south, later being shifted to Early New High German.

Eretide
Middle Low German was the shared tung of the Hansa band, spoken all around the North Sea and the East Sea. Grounded on the tung of Lübeck, an everyday written tung was unfolding, though it was never made ever-lasting.

Hints of the weightyness of Middle Low German can be seen by the many loans found in the Scandinavish, East Sea-Finnish and Baltish tungs, but also in rike's German or in English.

In the late Middle Eldths, Middle Low German lost its standing to Early New High German which the athels began to wield first as a written tung and later as a spoken tung. Grounds for the loss of standing of Low German were the waning of the Hansa band that was followed by mootish blending of Northern Germany, but also the kithshiplike might of Middle and Southern Germany for earnestness through the Againstish Overhaul.
