=== Germanic languages === The locative case had merged with the dative in early Germanic times and was no longer distinct in [[Proto-Germanic language|Proto-Germanic]] or in any of its descendants. The dative, however, contrasts with the [[accusative case]], which is used to indicate motion toward a place (it has an [[allative case|allative]] meaning). The difference in meaning between dative and accusative exists in all of the old Germanic languages and survives in all Germanic languages that retain a distinction between the two cases.
