Definition: The word "Angevin" refers to an ancient language found in present-day Europe, specifically Germany, Austria, Italy, and parts of Switzerland. The name itself translates to "the Angles," which likely came from a group of people who lived in those regions at some point in history. Definition: The Angevin language was an Old Germanic language spoken during the 5th and 4th centuries AD by individuals living along the banks of the Rhine River in Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and parts of modern-day Poland. It is known for being one of the oldest extant languages in Europe, with a vocabulary that spans over 100,000 words. The Angevin alphabet is unique among Old Germanic languages, consisting of two alphabets: a base syllabic script with a vowel cluster at the bottom left corner and an archaic consonant cluster centered on the top right corner. This structure allows for efficient phonological processing, making it advantageous for communication between individuals of different dialects or groups. Ancestry of the language can be traced back to the Germanic tribes who settled in the region around 500 AD. The name "Angelic" is also associated with this period, referring to a group of humans from whom many of the Germanic tribes derived their names.
