This shows that in the time of Columban the shift from p to f had occurred neither in Alemannic nor in Lombardic. |

Therefore, Werner Betz and others prefer to treat Lombardic as an Old High German dialect. |
|
Some of the West Germanic languages also did not survive past the Migration Period, including Lombardic. |
|
In the absence of Lombardic texts, it is not possible to draw any conclusions about the language's morphology and syntax. |
|
A number of Latin texts include Lombardic names, and Lombardic legal texts contain terms taken from the legal vocabulary of the vernacular. |
|
They often bear some resemblance to English words, as Lombardic was akin to Saxon. |
|
However, the Lombardic records are not sufficient to allow a complete taxonomy of the language. |
|
Ernst Schwarz and others have suggested that the shift occurred in German as a result of contacts with Lombardic. |
|
Romansh came to be a written language, and therefore it is recognized as a language, even though it is very close to the Lombardic alpine dialects. |
|
However the extant words in Lombardic show clear relations to Bavarian. |
