A. De Nederduitsche talen, [...]
1. Het Angelsaksisch [...]
2. Het Oudfriesch, [...]

4. Het Outnederfrankisch, [...]
B. Hoogduitsche talen.
[...]
1. Het Middelduitsch. Hiertoe rekenen wij het Silesisch, het Oppersaksisch, het Thuringsch en het Frankisch. Dit laatste wordt onderscheiden in Middelfrankisch en Opperfrankisch. Men herinnere zich, dat het Nederfrankisch to de Nederduitsche talen behoort. Het Opperfrankisch moet weer in Rijn- of Zuidfrankisch en Main- of Oostfrankisch gesplitst worden.
2. Het Opper- of Zuidduitsch. Hiertoe behooren het Alemannisch [...] met het Zwabisch aan den eenen en het Beiersch aan den anderen kant.

Men noemt deze dialecten [...] pas vanaf de 8ste eeuw Oudnederlands omdat men aanneemt dat ze eerst omstreeks die tijd op een aantal belangrijke punten zijn gaan verschillen van de andere Oudwest-Germaanse talen. Het eindpunt van het Oudnederlands, dat tevens als beginpunt van het Middelnederlands geldt, wordt rond het midden van de 12de eeuw gesitueerd.

2005, Guy Janssens & Ann Marynissen, Het Nederlands vroeger en nu, 2nd ed., Leuven (België), (1st ed. 2003), p. 47

Het is gebruikelijk om te beginnen bij het zogenaamde Oudnederlands, dat gesproken werd vanaf ongeveer de achtste eeuw. [...] Op het Oudnederlands volgde het Middelnederlands, dat gesproken werd in de late Middeleeuwen, vanaf ongeveer midden twaalfde tot eind vijftiende eeuw.
