>The Salian Franks spoke a language (or several dialects) of Low Frankish, known as "Old Frankish" (or "Old Low Frankish"): it was they who had imported this language into Flanders by settling there before their conquest of Gaul, which gave rise to Flemish. The Merovingians thus spoke Low Frankish, although they had also adopted the language and culture of the Gallo-Romans.So Flemish people are the ones who speak a language that looks like the most to old frankish language. But which Flemish is the more like old frankish ? West Flemish ?
