Size of Barbarian Migrations

[Urselius]

But titles can become fossilised, The monarchs of England and then Great Britain included "King of France" in their official titulature until the latter part of the reign of George III, some 350 years after it had ceased to have any factual basis. By the time of the fall of the Vandal Kingdom I would imagine that most Vandals and Alans in North Africa probably spoke Latin as their mother tongue, there being little other than nostalgia to promote the retention of their original speech.
