Three or four languages strove for
mastery in ancient Gaul, which is now
France. German was spoken by the
1900 Frank invaders. Popular Latin
was spoken by 100000 Gallo. Romans.
Literary Latin was the language of the
church and of literature. Low Latin
was afterward the language of the ad-
minlstratiOn. German was the first TO
succumb. In four centuries 1t ceased
to be understood by the soldiers, and in
seventy years more it had become an
object of ridicule. But it survives in
more than 900 words, expressing the
things Of government, law and war,
and thus forms no insignificant part of
the French language.
