The modern name of the language as a whole should be something like Borgonzay (i.e. the Romance language of Burgundia, parallel to Français for the Romance language of Francia) with two main dialect groups Rhodrese along the Rhodre (Rhône) and Saugonay along the Saugone(Saône9. The problem is that in the ATL there was also a Germanic language Borgonzc < *burgundiska which survived long enough to become a written language in books with Latin letters. In contradistinction to this language the Romance language of [[User:Melroch/Borgonze]|Borgonze]] was of course called Romanz or some variation thereof and any derivative of *Burgund would be inappropriate, but Romanz would be equally inappropriate in contradistinction to Français/Frantxay, not to speak of the Rumantx and Romand[1] of Switzerland.
