I took 2 years of Latin at uni. I wsih I could speak Italian, German, and French. Mostly french cause they are assholes if you don't speak it. And Italian cause most Italians don't know English. Plus, I'm part Italian and it would be cool to connect with my Italian brothers. |

icelandic - kinda self explanatory. english - having lots of shows on tv in english when i was a kid probably had more impact than english teachings in school. danish - taught in schools in iceland, i have danish cousins as well so i had reasons to learn it. i never use it so i normally need some practise to get me going. spanish - learned it in school and went to barcelona to learn it for a month. i've forgotten a bunch since i don't use it at all but i probably could keep up somekind of uninteresting conversations. i understand lots of written norwegian and swedish and some spoken norwegian, depending on dialects and/or where it is from. learned german for a year as well but i suck at it since i don't like it that much. i can read a tiny bit. |

what norwegian dialects would you say are the easiest to understand? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
forgot faroese. which is kinda hard to understand unless you are speaking to someone who's very slow but it's easy to read for icelanders. they seem to understand us much better. their pronounciation is rather strange. |

hmm...i'm not sure. probably from those areas who have been isolated the most. most inhabitants of iceland originally came from western or north-western norway so that probably has something to say. i've heard that icelanders could talk to norwegians less than 100 years ago from some isolated areas with out much difficulty. iceland has been pretty isolated for around 1100 years so it has changed relatively little. is there anybody who speaks gammel norsk or is that just a dead language? i think that might be easy to understand. norwegian is much closer to icelandic than danish actually. |

we do have some gammelnorsk in school (2year in highschool) where we do basic grammar and stuff, but most is forgotten after a little while. |

so do you read really old books in norwegian? we've got literature that dates back to 1100-1300 that talks about norwegian kings and stuff. some of it is actually rather interesting. gammel norsk and old icelandic might actually be the same thing, i'm not sure. you can't read the original books, or at least i can't, because it uses gothic scripts. if it's turned to latin script it's easier to understand and takes a little practise. but it's interesting to see how little it has indeed changed over 700 years, although it's often exaggerated how little it has changed. |

we mostly read excerpts from sagas, cause it's a very familiar subject. I did go through the Heimskringla and Håvamål a year back, although in translated form - I'd love to read it in gammalnorsk though. The translations were a bit, erm, "kind" |

I think sogndaldialekt would be easiest for you to understand pute |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not sure if i've read heimskringla but it's a part of snorra-edda which i've read something of and i've read hávamál as well. you kinda need some translations with hávamál because it has many words that don't exist anymore or people know nothing about today. sogndaldialekt might be easiest to understand, i don't know. i guess it depends on how slow people talk how well it goes. if it's unlike danish and more like the older type of norwegian it is probably better. i've never gotten into this whole bokmål - nynorsk thing. i was reading something on wikipedia and kinda got the idea finally. |
