Lombardic / Langobardic
Region: Pannonia and Italy
Extinct: 11th century
Language family: Indo-European (Germanic)
Lombardic or Langobardic is an extinct West Germanic language that was spoken by the Lombards (Langobardi), the Germanic people who settled in Italy in the sixth century. It was already declining by the seventh century because the invaders quickly adopted the Latin vernacular spoken by the local population. Lombardic may have been in use in scattered areas until as late as c. 1000 AD. A number of place names in the Lombardy Region in Northern Italy and items of Lombard vocabulary derive from Lombardic.
Lombardic is a Trümmersprache (literally, 'rubble-language'), that is, a language preserved in only fragmentary form: there are no texts in Lombardic, only individual words and personal names cited in Latin law codes, histories and charters. As a result, there are many aspects of the language about which nothing is known.

Hi I'm the guy from the video (you may have recognised me, I also appear in the video of the modern Lombard language). It's a pleasure to share the language of my ancestors with you! We don't know much about it, so some words are recreated from Old high German, and the text is from the Hildebrandlied, one of the few texts recreate in the german book "Die westgermasiche" I hope you enjoy the video, I want to thank Andy becouse we would never hear so many cool, strange and peculiar languages!

Chair in longobardic: skranna, chair in Arsan( italian dialect, but actually a language, spoken in Reggio Emilia ): scrana. Pretty interesting to see how people who inhabited certain places a very long time ago can still show us their linguistic influence on languages that are spoken today, especially if you think that Arsan developed from latin, but in an area which had been indeed influenced by the longobards. Plus: the italian, therefore tuscan dialect, word for cheek is "guancia", clearly similar to wangja in longobard, as well as melm in longobardic and "melma" in italian, both meaning mud( the italian word in this case has a particular nuance but it fundamentally means "mud" ).

"Parecchi sono i termini della lingua italiana derivati dal longobardo, tra i più numerosi fra quelli ereditati dalle antiche lingue germaniche. Per citarne solo alcuni, ricordiamo alcune voci di carattere militare come strale, sguattero ("guardia" in longobardo), spalto. Alla struttura della casa si riferiscono palco, panca, scaffale, stamberga ("casa di pietra"), stucco. Arnesi e utensìli per varie attività domestiche e tecniche sono la gruccia, la palla, la greppia, la trappola, la spranga. Parecchi termini longobardi indicano parti del corpo umano: guancia, schiena, stinco, nocca, zazzera. Numerosi sono i verbi che designano azioni tecniche o concrete come scherzare, russare, tuffare, spaccare, strofinare, schernire, arruffare. E ricco e stracco sono due aggettivi di etimo longobardo come i sostantivi tanfo e schiuma". [

[@orthodoxia.occidentalis]

It would be very interesting study how might be evolved the Langobardic till nowadays. As a western germanic language it could be similar to dutch, frisian, flemish or lower saxon or to bavarian and alemannic probably. A conlang based to the reconstruction, reviving and actualization of this language (like the modern gaulish conlang based of the reconstruction and actualization of the ancient gaulish) is a very hard work, but the result could be very very closer to the other western germanic language of nowadays.

[@pnkcnlng228]

The evolution of Lombard is Mócheno and Cimbrian languages, spoken in Veneto, and they are very similar to Bavarian, so yes, Lombardic would eventually evolve in a varaition of southern German

They were called "Langobards" because they had long beards.

Yeah, but that's according to a myth / legend (told by Paul the Deacon in his Historia Longobardorum: they were called Winili and at some point, around the I century BC, they were in war against Vandals and they asked Odin for help. He said that would give the victory to the first tribe to appear in front of his eyes the following morning. So the Winili's women, in order to trick Odin and increase the chanche to be noticed (they were advised to do so by Frigg, Odin's wife), mixed with the men, losened their long hair and placed them in front of the chin. So when Odin woke up saw a moltitude of "men" with long beards and yelled "Who are those long-beardeds??". So finally the Winili won against the Vandals and settled in Scoringa (a region which nowadays would be in the north-east of Germany, on the island of Rügen). Then six centuries later they finally settled in Lombardy, after many migrations through modern eastern Germany, Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary (which obiouvsly back then didn't exist, but I mention them just to give an idea of their migration route).
