However consider that for "German" we should mean not the modern German but a long series of ancient languages (see here), besides also consider that Frankish people originally was not still "French" but also Germans... the modern French come later (XII-XII century), from "Oïl language", "Oc language", Provençal, Lorraine, Breton... French became "language of the Court" progressively, but Latin was always most important, as it was also in the Middle Age the "lingua franca"...
The medieval situation of our modern languages was not so easy to describe, like was at the time of Latin or it is nowadays... Maybe mathematics is easier
