Middle French [SEP] end time
Middle French
Middle French () is a historical division of the French language that covers the period from the 14th to the early 17th centuries. It is a period of transition during which:
- the French language became clearly distinguished from the other competing Oïl languages, which are sometimes subsumed within the concept of Old French ()
- the French language was imposed as the official language of the kingdom of France in place of Latin and other Oïl and Occitan languages
- the literary development of French prepared the vocabulary
