EspañolTHEODISCUS
(Redirected from Theodisca)
'''Theodiscus''' is a Middle Latin adjective referring to the Germanic vernaculars of the Early Middle Ages, first attested in 786 as ''tam latine quam theodisce'' "both in Latin and in the vernacular". The Old High German language in Latin sources of the time is referred to as ''theodisca lingua''.
It is derived from Common Germanic ''
★ þeudiskaz''. The stem of this word, ''
★ þeuda'', meant "people" in Common Germanic, and ''
★ -isk'' was an adjective-forming suffix, of which '' is the modern English form. The Old English form is ''þéodisc'', the Old High German one ''diutisc'' (attested ca. 1090 in the Annolied).
Ultimately, the word comes from PIE '', meaning "tribe".[1]
It has survived in the English word ''Dutch'', the German word ''Deutsch'', the Dutch words ''Diets'' and ''Duits'', the Yiddish word ''taytsh'', the Danish word ''tysk'', the Swedish word ''Tyska'', the Icelandic word ''þjóð'' "people, nation" and the modern Italian word ''tedesco'' "German".
