>Franks were a Germanic race whose language was mutually intelligible with Old English
I just had this thought: is the guttural "r", spoken in Germany and France, the last trace of common origin?
It would make sense - the Franks are said to be Germanic, not Latin. The language stands in the way - until we recognize, that after Julius Cesar BTFO'd the Gauls, he imposed the Latin language onto them.
And the way they say "r" might be the last trace of that common heritage.
If not - what could be the reason for the French, Germans and Danes to be the only ones to pronounce this letter in that way?
