The medieval Germanic languages are the earliest attested stages of the Germanic languages. The most widely studied of these are Gothic (Go), Old English (OE), Old High German (OHG), Old Norse (ON), and Old Saxon (OS). They are similar to each other in phonology, morphology, and the lexicon because they all descend from a hypothetical common ancestor, the Proto-Germanic language.Gothic is an East Germanic language, Old Norse is North Germanic, and Old English, Old High German, and Old Saxon are in the West Germanic group.

Word formation
In Old Sazon it is easy to observe clear results of the process of derivation from classes within the language despite their diachronic (concerned with the way in which something, especially language, has developed and evolved through time) and synchronic (concerned with something, especially a language, as it exists at on in time) status. A small explanation of the most common examples of some of all the prefixes and suffixes used in Old Saxon; in particular, from nouns, adjectives and verbs. This shows the twenty-three types of the suffix -skepi with a total amount of eighty-two tokens. As the tokens display, there are some of these words that are more frequent throughout the Helîand. Also, the variety of tokens of this precise suffix is alarmingly high. It’s the suffix with more types of all the suffix that make nouns or another type of word. This suffix has an incredible amount of types (fifteen) and one hundred and three tokens, some of them used really frequently at the Hêliand. Here we can see that when it comes to verbs there are not as much as types. Also, the tokens are not really high either, and that's because Old Saxon has an enormous variety of verbs (as it is explained before).
