Borghenzco /ˈboɾɣən(d)sko/was a sister language to Gothic which was still spoken by Burgundians in 12th century Gaul. In English it is called Burgendish — a supposed modern derivative of the Old English ethnonym Burgendan 'Burgundians'. In Lucal Inglisc it would rather be Burgendisc, also pronounced /ˈbɜʴɡəndɪʃ/ .
Approximate outline of Borgonze superimposed on OTL France. The borders certainly need to be adjusted to correspond to natural boundaries.
Phonologically Burgendish was about as advanced as Old English. It had shared its most recent phonological developments with the co-territorial Romance language Rhodrese as a result of long-term bilingualism.
