古法語
Middle English also adopted many words with Franconian roots from Old French; e.g. "random" (via Old French "randon", Old French verb "randir", from "*rant" "a running"), "standard" (via Old French "estandart", from "*standhard" "stand firm"), "scabbard" (via Anglo-French *"escauberc", from *"skar-berg"), "grape", "stale", "march" (via Old French "marche", from *"marka") among others.
