Lyonnaise is spoken in the south-west, while the main language in the north and east has historically been Frankish. However, external influences have caused Saxon and High German to become common east of the Rhine in the last century. There has been some degree of Frankish nationalism ever since the fall of the duchy. Belgium and Holland both have major political parties advocating reunion, as does the Saxon province of Rhineland.
