To Rmhermen on Burgundian see Burgundians for people. The language is very difficult, but a website from ch/Switzerland gives info in German.

'Lex Burgundionum" = Burgunderrecht= Laws of the Burgundians - one of the oldest Germanic law records, by Gundobad + 516 , Laws written down are based on tribal Germanic custums.

and by king Sigismund + 523/4 "Prima Constitutio".

Burgundian soldiers , originally from Baltic Sea, Vistula to Rheinland , Worms area had soldiers as "hospites" in Roman service. Then came to (later)Burgundy, Swabia (Schwaben), Switzerland, Savoyen. , settled in 443 :"Sapaudia". and 457 in province Lugdunensis.

Language remnants are very sparse, a Burgunder king daughter married Theoderic the Great.

Some history in "Niebelungen Lied" and in later Switzerland in: "Burgundische Eidgenossenschaft"

Me again (boring day at work) -- the lex Burgundiorum (Burgundiarum?) is written in Latin, as are the other extant law codes
