Etymology
From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "LL" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. or Alemannus (related to Alamans, ancient Germanic people for whom the name meant "all men", "all people", according to Asinius Quadratus). aleman became alemant by the addition of a terminal T of the singular objective case for adjectives of second class in Old French, and then alemand. The Latin word itself derives from the Old High German Alaman, from a Proto-Germanic *Alamanniz, likely from the roots *allaz (whence English all) and *manniz < *mann- (whence English man).
