Apparently a dialect of Old French. Doesn't make much sense to me, as it links to w:Old French and displays Old North French. Nobody seems to even know what this means; Old French was spoken in the north of France, and (mostly) Old Occitan in the south. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:28, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it’s meant to refer to Old Norman. † ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 23:23, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Seems much more likely, yes. But that's a total guess. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:29, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Despite what you say, it actually displays Old Northern French, which is another name for Old Norman; and plenty of people know what it means. (The "northern" doesn't have to do with the north of France, but rather with the north of the Old French–speaking area.) I've fixed w:Old Northern French to redirect to w:Old Norman; the template should be changed to just use that redirect and have updated the template to use that redirect. (BTW, the OED uses "ONF." for the same thing.) —RuakhTALK 17:02, 19 December 2009 (UTC) edited 17:26, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep revised version. Nice work. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:50, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Slight hesitation, isn't it redundant to Category:Anglo-Norman derivations now? Argh. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:11, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, because they have separate Wikipedia articles. Kept. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:21, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
