Editing Oaths of Strasbourg (section)

== Germanic portion ==
The language reflects an early form of [[Ripuarian language|Ripuarian Frankish]]. Charles the Bald is recorded as saying:{{quote|''{{lang|goh|In Godes minna ind in thes christianes folches ind unser bedhero gealtnissi, fon thesemo dage frammordes, so fram so mir Got geuuizci indi mahd furgibit, so hald ih tesan minan bruodher, soso man mit rehtu sinan bruodher scal, in thiu, thaz er mig sosoma duo ; indi mit Ludheren in nohheiniu thing ne gegango, zhe minan uuillon imo ce scadhen uuerhen.}}''
}}This is a close translation of Louis's oath, except that an equivalent to ''et in aiudha et in cadhuna cosa'' appears to be missing. The soldiers of Louis the German replied:

{{Quote|''{{lang|goh|Oba Karl then eid, then er sinemo bruodher Ludhuuuige gesuor, geleistit, indi Ludhuuuig min herro, then er imo gesuor, forbrihchit, ob ih inan es iruuenden ne mag, noh ih noh thero nohhein, then ih es iruuenden mag, uuidhar Karle imo ce follusti ne uuirdit.}}''
}}This, in turn, was equivalent to the oath sworn by Charles's soldiers.
