Dear Ívison,

The other day you asked:



Where can I find some grammar points on Old Low Franconian? I'd like to

know more about the origin of Dutch Definite articles and Personal

pronouns.



  Can any one give me some exemples of their OLF Declensions?



I can't say off-hand if it gives you *all *of the information you are
requesting, but, if you do not already have it, you ought to get hold of a
copy of the following book:



*Old English and its Closest Relatives: A Survey of the Earliest Germanic
Languages*

Orrin W. Robinson, Routledge 1992



Its paperback version is available at a relatively low price these days.



Here is a list of its contents: http://tinyurl.com/dayn9w



As you can see, it offers you introductions to the ancestors of today's
Germanic languages. It also contains some rather interesting discussions as
well as overviews of the histories of the speakers. Although I do not
necessarily agree with each and every word in it, I believe this book is a
must-have for people with interests like ours.


As for Old Low Frankish, the Dutch Wikipedia gives you some information
about its morphology: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oudnederlands



Best wishes,

Reinhard/Ron


And add to this the recently appreared "Geschiedenis van de Nederlandse
Syntaxis" (van der Horst) (2 big volumes)

http://upers.kuleuven.be/node/32009



which traces the origins of all syntactic constructions from Old Dutch to
modern Dutch with full paradigms etc.

It has a large section on the origin of the article.
