Old Saxon
Old Saxon
, also known as
Old Low German
, is a
Germanic language
and the earliest recorded form of
Low German
. It belongs to the
West Germanic
branch and is most closely related to the
Anglo-Frisian
languages. 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
(
Old Frisian
,
Old English
) that it partially participates in the
Ingvaeonic nasal spirant law
; it is also closely related to
Old Dutch
.
