Theodiscus Theodiscus is a Medieval Latin term literally meaning "popular" or "of the people". In Medieval Western Europe non-native Latin was the language of science, church and administration, hence "theodiscus" was used as an antonym of Latin, to refer to the "native language spoken by the general populace". The term was subsequently used in the Frankish Empire to denote the native Germanic vernaculars. As such, it was no longer used as antonym of Latin, but of "walhisk", a language descendent from Latin, but nevertheless the speech of the general populace as well. In doing so "theodiscus" effectively obtained the meaning of "Germanic", or more specifically one of its local varieties – resulting in the English exonym , the German endonym , and the Dutch exonym , all of which are all cognates of "theodiscus".
