Some might quibble, but my understanding is that the Franks are/were a Germanic tribe. It is also my understanding, that they appeared later than the Germanic tribes the Romans first encountered in their conquest of northern/Western Europe. Somewhere in the process they started speaking a Latin based language rather than a Germanic based tongue.
Germanic
It was not until the Romans under Julius Caesar conquered Gaul that Gaul was controlled by one group--the Romans. Previously to this Gaul was a mixture of various tribes each having their own territory and allies.
When the western Roman empire collapsed in 476 AD, the unifying force for most of Europe was gone. Along with the loss of the government, much of the engineering abilities and modern amenities were also lost. The Barbarians of Europe did not, for the most part, have the abilities or knowledge to build roads, aqueducts or the other marvels of the Roman Empire, which is why the period immediately after Rome's collapse is often referred to as the "Dark Ages".

In the period between the Roman Empire and the Norman Conquest, the British Isles were invaded and settled by two tribes of people from northern Germany. These tribes were the Angles and the Saxons, and the term Anglo-Saxon refers to the language spoken by them upon moving into Britain.

Germanic languages were spoken by ancient Germanic tribes and later evolved into modern German, English, Dutch, and other languages. Some famous Germanic-speaking figures include the Anglo-Saxon warriors who invaded England, Charlemagne of the Franks, and the Gothic tribes in Eastern Europe.
The Angles and Saxons were the largest Germanic tribes that invaded the British Isles. They are generally called (together with the Jutes) the Anglo-Saxons.
Germanic invaders were various tribes from northern Europe who migrated and invaded the Roman Empire during the late antiquity period. These tribes included the Goths, Vandals, Franks, and Visigoths, among others. They played a significant role in the downfall of the Western Roman Empire and the subsequent formation of new kingdoms in Europe.
Germanic
The Franks were originally a confederation of Germanic tribes east of the Rhine that from AD 257.
Cherusci, Franks, Saxons, Swabians, and the Bavarians are just 5 of more than a hundred or so tribes.
While the germanic tribes were invading, a germanic leader Odoacer, a former Roman army recriut, finally conquered Rome in 476 A.D.
Four germanic peoples invaded England: The Angles, Saxons and Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians from northern Holland.
Germanic tribes are the people who invaded the Western Roman Empire.
