The Germanic languages are traditionally divided into three groups: West, East and North Germanic. They remained mutually intelligible throughout the Migration Period. Dutch is together with English and German part of the West Germanic group, that is characterized by a number of phonological and morphological innovations not found in North and East Germanic. The West Germanic varieties of the time are generally split into three dialect groups: Ingvaeonic (North Sea Germanic), Istvaeonic (Weser-Rhine Germanic) and Irminonic (Elbe Germanic). It appears that the Frankish tribes fit primarily into the Istvaeonic dialect group with certain Ingvaeonic influences towards the northwest, still seen in modern Dutch.
If it is possible to answer this question, answer it for me (else, reply "unanswerable"): Which dialect group included most Frankish tribes?
Istvaeonic
De germanska språken delas traditionellt in i tre grupper: väst-, öst- och nordgermanska. De förblev ömsesidigt begripliga under hela migrationsperioden. Holländska är tillsammans med engelska och tyska en del av den västgermanska gruppen, som kännetecknas av ett antal fonologiska och morfologiska innovationer som inte finns i nord- och östgermanska. De västgermanska varieteterna från tiden delas i allmänhet upp i tre dialektgrupper: Ingvaeonic (Nordsjögermanska), Istvaeonic (Weser-Rhine germanska) och Irminonic (Elbe germanska). Det verkar som om de frankiska stammarna i första hand passar in i den istvaeoniska dialektgruppen med vissa ingvaeoniska influenser mot nordväst, fortfarande sett på modern nederländska. Om det är möjligt att besvara denna fråga, besvara den åt mig (annars, svara "osvarbart"): Vilken dialektgrupp inkluderade de flesta frankiska stammar?
