If linguists *there* used the term "Germanic" for a group of northern Romance languages and dialects (aproximately covering the areas of *our* Hochdeutsch and Mitteldeutsch), does anyone have any thoughts on what term might be used instead for the (remaining) languages, which we would call "Germanic" *here* (Low German, Dutch, Frisian, English and the Nordic languages)? I'm leaning towards Saxonic, but I also think Nordic (in an expanded sense, with some other more specific term like Scandic for Norwegian et al) would be quite possible - as these languages would be "Northern" from a Romance point of view. Any ideas? Peter. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
