Language spoken on Burgundy circa 10th century

[some kind of chimp]

Now, this may be confusing due to the fact that there are around seven or eight different Burgundies. The ones I am referring to are Upper andLower. Two kingdoms that existed during the 9th and 10th centuries.

But I need to know (Leo might be able to help?) What language(s) were spoken in those two kingdoms in the 10th century? I know there really were no standard languages at this point. But would it be some sort of French / Oil / Oc language? Or a Germanic one? Or possibly even Italian.


Thanks for your hekp.

Well, IX and Xth centuries are a little to far away from us to be sure but "Upper Burgundy" inhabitants must have talked franco-provencal dialects and "Lower Burgundy" was clearly in the provencal (an occitan variant) zone.

Hope that helps you (and i'm sorry for my poor english!)
