Old Norse is so comforting. I can imagine my family in Norway a thousand years ago as we hunt in the forested mountains and forests.

Sweden and Norway transitioned from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to an agriculture-based one 4000 BC. That was six-thousand years ago, not a thousand. A thousand years ago there lived only peasants in Norway and Sweden, no hunter-gatherers to speak of. And no, I am not forgetting about vikings - vikings were also peasants. The difference being that vikings had to take up pillaging because there wasn't enough farmland for them to sustain themselves.* This is at least the case if you are not think of the Sapmi people. And judging by your profile I doubt you are. Their lifestyle is nothing to romanticise about. And the fact that you are doing so out of ignorance is dangerous. While dreaming yourself away isn't anything bad per se, you seem to have a somewhat worrying fascination of national socialists... *Scandinavian soil is famously rich with rock and as you know, filled with forrests, and because parents hadn't enough farmland to share amongst their children, overpopulation led to some children having to move and find new ways to make a living.

@@philip2205 I think you're overthinking their comment, they never really spoke of hunter-gatherers, just hunting, which was (and still is) an important thing to do. And it's not as if 100% of the Scandinavian population were peasants, we still had lords and other high-status people.

Beautiful languages! Old Norse was divided into West Old Norse (Norway and Iceland) and East Old Norse (Sweden and Denmark).

I feel like I understand Norwegian much better than Danish even though Swedish branched out from east old Norse together with Danish

As a Kurdish Chechen lady from Germany 🇩🇪 I see German influences BUT still Old Norse and Swedish still have an individual beauty which I love about Scandinavian languages. Tack sa mycket, Dankeschön, thank you, Andy❣️❤️

Would be interesting to hear a comparison between old/older swedish and modern 👍

Oh, it would be. I’ve never seen or heard Old Swedish before, although I’ve read that it still had the thorn. I wonder if it still had the /w/ pronunciation like Old Norse, Elfdalian, and English did/do.

@philip2205 9 ай бұрын

Norwegian, Swedish and Danish all developed from Old Norse. Norse does not mean Norwegian - so this video is by all accounts a comparison between "Old Swedish" and Swedish, in case that helps 🙂

I’ve read that Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian were heavily influenced by Middle Saxon during the days of the Hanseatic League. I’d be interested to learn exactly how much of an effect it had on them, and if it touched other North Germanic languages or not. I remember reading that approximately 70% of the vocabulary of the Scandinavian languages (presumably excluding Elfdalian) came from Middle Saxon, but that number seems extremely high to me. Is that accurate?

In Swedish between 30-50 000 words are of Low German influence. As a native Swedish speaker I understand German pretty well but Dutch Is often ridiculously similar to Swedish. Especially maritime words comes from Dutch. The only Norse word in Dutch I know is "Oorlog" which means war. In Swedish we use this word for a warship "Örlogsfartyg". In old Norse it is "Örlygi" which has the same meaning and function like in Dutch. I might be a bit wrong so correct me if I am 🙂

@@robinlundqvist2565Doubtfull, over 90 000 words still comes from old norse so while having some low german words that are still more closely related to old norse than low german and high german.
