Burgundian Language codes ISO 639-3 None (mis) Linguist List qlb Glottolog None The Burgundians and their language were described as Germanic by the poet Sidonius Apollinaris.[30] Herwig Wolfram has interpreted this as being because they had entered Gaul from Germania.[31] More specifically their language is thought to have belonged to the East Germanic language group, based upon their presumed equivalence to the Burgundians named much earlier by Pliny in the east, and some names and placenames. However this is now considered uncertain.[32] Little is known of the language. Some proper names of Burgundians are recorded, and some words used in the area in modern times are thought to be derived from the ancient Burgundian language,[33] but it is often difficult to distinguish these from Germanic words of other origin, and in any case the modern form of the words is rarely suitable to infer much about the form in the old language.
