As a german I love to hear and read older versions of my native language and how much I'm able to understand.

Gothic is so interesting. So many old features in it you do not find in any other Germanic language. Dual we and other we, nominative -s are probably my two favorite. And then there is the sound in cadence of the language itself. It seems to lend itself very handily to chanting and poetry. Really interesting and fascinating language. I can completely see the allure it had for people like J.R.R. Tolkien.

📳🉑The sister languages of Old Norse are the other Germanic languages such as Old Anglo Saxon, Old German, Old Gothic and Old Frisian, Old Vandalic and Old Burgundian. These languages belong to the same linguistic group and share a common ancestry.🉑📳

🔆🔅Old Saxon, Old Anglo-Saxon, and Old High German are all different stages of the Old Germanic language, which was spoken in Central and Western Europe between the 5th and 12th centuries. These three linguistic variants are related and have a common origin, but they also have significant differences. Old Saxon was spoken in the region of Saxony in present-day Germany and was one of the main variants of West Germanic. Old Anglo-Saxon, in turn, was spoken in England, especially in the regions of Anglia, Saxony and Jutland. Both variants are linguistically close and share many common elements and words. High German was spoken in areas of what is now Germany, Austria and Switzerland, among others. It is considered an offshoot of West Germanic, but had a separate evolution from Old Saxon and Anglo-Saxon, mainly due to Latin influences. It is important to emphasize that these linguistic variants evolved over time and gave rise to different modern languages. Old Saxon and Old Anglo-Saxon are considered to be ancestors of Low German and Angleish, respectively, while High German evolved into Modern German.🔆🔅

High German is best, to me.

Wunderbar! Old High German sounds so straightforward matched and clear to the written. Also, just more simple than other Germanic languages by having 5 long and short vowels only (melodic as Latin).

The first Germanic language to have its own alphabet.

What about runes tho

@@zuzufever So the Goths created the runes

@zuzufever 11 ай бұрын

@Asams if I understand it correctly, the runes are common Germanic, not just Gothic which they switched to the Gothic alphabet quickly. And there are attested examples of Proto Norse's Elder Futhark older than Gothic's but I am not an expert

@@Asams The Germanic people are credited with creating the runes. The discovery and study of runes was made by several scholars over the centuries, including Jacob Grimm, Karl Müllenhoff and Sophus Bugge. These people inhabited the regions of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Friesland, Faroe Islands. Nice Sunday, Nice evening.

With those long and short vowels, I imagine high German had a similar sound and rhythm to it to some of the Swiss German dialects I have heard and some of the Alpine Austrian dialects I have heard. These would be the direct descendants of the language. Standard hi German (Hochdeutsch)also to an extent. But, more so, I think, the dialects of German spoken in the Alps. They have a sort of singsong rising and falling sound to them and they do tend to lengthen some of their vowels from time to time.

I've been watching all these Old High German/English/Saxon (low German)/Norse/Gothic videos you've posted over the past couple of days. Very fun to watch & listen!! Of all these languages, Gothic seems the most alien to me; I recognize & understand the etymology of words & phrases in all the other languages, but Gothic not nearly as much.

@philomelodia 11 ай бұрын

Gothic is the oldest Germanic language attested to in the written record. This is what Germanic people sounded like 1700 years ago. All the others are at least four centuries more recent. This could explain why it sounds the most alien to you. It is the oldest.

@@philomelodia No, not all Germanic sounded like this. The Gothic language is believed to have split from the common Germanic language around the 2nd century AD so it would have differentiated from other Germanic dialects by 300.

Sound amazingly closer despite of being in different branches of Germanic... could be due to geographic contact?

@joagalo 11 ай бұрын

@@Nwk843 I mean more like a earlier contact, since part of the basic lexicon seems even closer than inner branches of West Germanic (however Gothic is not western but eastern!). I'm wondering if the geographic contact would lead to shared phonological features and therefore convergent developments, or just Old. H. German was a very conservative language, just as Gothic.

The Swahili language belongs to the Bantu language family, and its subfamily is the Bantu-Swahili language. Swahili's sister languages include Kikuyu, Lingala, Shona, Xhosa and Zulu. The ancestral language is Protobanthian. Andy makes this joint comparison of Swahili with all its sister languages and its protobanthian ancestral language hugs stay with God kisses. Health, peace.
