Theod
' (in Medieval Latin, corresponding to Old English þēodisc, Old High German diutisc and other early Germanic reflexes of Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz, meaning "popular" or "of the people") was a term used in the early Middle Ages to refer to the West Germanic languages. The Latin term was borrowed from the Germanic adjective meaning "of the people" but, unlike it, was used ''only'' to refer to languages. In Medieval Western Europe non-native Latin was the language of science, church and administration, hence Latin ''theodiscus'' and its Germanic counterparts were used as antonyms of Latin, to refer to the "native language spoken by the general populace". They were subsequently used in the Frankish Empire to denote the native Germanic vernaculars. As such, they were no longer used as antonym of Latin, but of ''walhisk'', a language descendant from Latin, but nevertheless the speech of the general populace as well.M. Philippa e.a.
