This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written mange- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a "soft" /ʒ/ and not a "hard" /ɡ/). This spelling change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and ranger.

## Middle French

From Old French mengier.

### Verb

manger
* to eat (consume food)

#### Conjugation

* As parler except an extra e is inserted after the final g before a and o.
* Middle French conjugation varies from one text to another. Hence, the following conjugation should be considered as typical, not as exhaustive.

## Old French
### Verb

manger
* (Anglo-Norman) Alternative form of mengier

#### Conjugation

This verb conjugates as a first-group verb ending in -er. In the present tense an extra supporting e is needed in the first-person singular indicative and throughout the singular subjunctive, and the third-person singular subjunctive ending -t is lost. In addition, g becomes j before an a or an o to keep the /dʒ/ sound intact. Old French conjugation varies significantly by date and by region. The following conjugation should be treated as a guide.

## Romansch
### Alternative forms

* mangiar (Rumantsch Grischun, Vallader)

### Etymology

Borrowed from Old French mangier, from Latin mandūcō, manducāre.

### Verb

manger
* (Puter) to eat

#### Usage notes

In standardised Rumantsch Grischun, mangiar is used for people eating and magliar for animals eating. When applied to people magliar means eating badly (eating like a pig). Some of the Romansch lects do not make this distinction (especially Sursilvan) and magliar is the usual term for human beings.
