As I noted yesterday, it’s believed that Charlemagne probably spoke a dialect of Old High German. His daughters all had German-sounding names, and the names of the months he came up with sound more Germanic than French. Which makes sense, given that he was king of the Franks and the Franks were a Germanic people.
