After around the 8th and 9th centuries, the Frankish language started to go extinct as it graudaully evolved into Old Dutch. The Frankish language also influenced Old French to become a influencing linkage of Romance dialects, for it's time. The Frankish language also influenced the development of  the French, German, and Dutch languages.
