Frankish (Frankish: Frenkisk) is a now extinct West Germanic language primarily spoken by the Franks from around the 5th century to the 9th century.
It was primarily spoken in Francia.
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 langauges. The Frankish language descends from West Germanic dialects spoken a group of West Germanics around the Weser and Rhine rivers in modern-day Germany.
