Could this usage be added?
Some names on the Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources appear under the language 'Early New High German', which, according to Wikipedia, refers to the German spoken in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period (specifically from 1350 to 1650), being a predecessor of modern German. Further information: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_New_High_GermanCould this be added or does it fall under another category?

Aww, the DMNES is the brainchild of an IRL friend of mine. Cool to see it being referenced here!

Hi Guasguendi, I don't think we should add another category in this area. If it was used after the medieval period (say, after 1500), then please use German (Archaic), otherwise use Medieval German.
