Best Answer

The ruling class used Norman French. Remnants of that language can be heard in American Courts when the bailiff calls out and says, "Oyez, oyez, oyez..." In this case the z is pronounced unlike modern french. Businessmen were bilingual. They traded with the common people in Low German and with the rulers in French. Businessmen also dealt with the people in the Netherlands using Low German.
