Month names collection / metastudy

I agree, Koen, a Romance / German mix sounds like a possible explanation. It's the idea I also expressed here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I am surprised that nobody is thinking of putting a Slavic into mix, since Slovenian was widely spoken in Carinthia and northern Italy, particularly in Veneto region, and in Parts of medieval Switzerland. A Czech linguistic influence is also noticeable in the manuscripts from Alsace and can explain the strange spelling of the months. Several Slovenian books were printed in Italy (Udine, Apulia) in 16th century. In Carinthia, Slovenian Protestant books were secretly copied by hand at the time of Counter Reformation. There is also a possibility that the medieval Calendars, plasters and Bibles were written by monks who from time to time change their location.
