English
  and Frisian, the
German
  language forms
part
  of the West Germanic group of
languages
 . To this group belongs also Langobardian, a dialect which died out in the 9th or loth

 , is usually classed with the
East
  Germanic group. Both these tongues were at an early stage crushed out by Romance dialects, a fate which also overtook the
idiom
  of the Western
Franks
 , who, in the so-called Strassburg Oaths 1 of 842, use the Romance
tongue
 , and are addressed in that
tongue
  by Louis the
German
 .
Leaving
English
  and Frisian aside, we understand by Deutsche 1 K. Miillenhoff and W. Scherer, Denkm[ler deutscher Poesie and Prosa, 3rd ed., by E. Steinmeyer, 1892, No. lxvii.
