I read many texts in Langobardic Latin. I wonder if I will recognize typical Langobardic word forms. I wanted to read a whole Langobardic text for many years. > > I will try to write my version of the Rhaeto Romance text I sent you. But don't see that as a correction. I am not such a professional. If you are talking about the Langobardic germanic language that left it's many traces in Italian, here is a Langobardic translation of the Hildebrandslied. I and many others worked on it in the Theudiskon forum. Some author made his own reconstruction of the Hildebrandslied in Langobardic, but I never could find it; that is why I started the independent translation It appears that the Langobardic language was the most conservative of the High German Continuum. Langobardic was a West-German language and not East-Germanic despite the many apparent similarities with Gothic. Pituxalina Airl* *Earl/Jarl in Langobardic.
