Let us gather round our thane and recite Beowulf. This is Anglo-Saxon England.

*Engle-Land

[Mr. Ron]

*rips Alex's arm off*

[Iskandar]

I flee to my underwater lair. You return to the great mead-hall and celebrate with your warrior posse.

[Mr. Ron]

*eats a lot and farts heartily*

[Iskandar]

Don't forget to down tankard after tankard of mead until you all collapse in a drunken stupor at 3 a.m.

You approach a maiden:

"Hail, baby. Wanna fornicate?"

[superpeer]

It was so kewl.

[Iskandar]

You took a class on Anglo-Saxon?

[superpeer]

Yep. Obligatory, mate.

[Iskandar]

Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,

Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,

egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,

[Mr. Ron]

Thats pretty sweet.

[Iskandar]

Ðæm eafera wæs æfter cenned,

Scyldes eafera Scedelandum in.

[Iskandar]

[Mr. Ron]

I blame women, naturally.

[superpeer]

Why don't we talk like this anymore

\-:

Because England got invaded by France in 1066.

Isn't it just some stupid Microsoft Word thing...

[Iskandar]

[McP3000]

[Iskandar]

Yeah.

HOUSTON TEXAS BITCHES

[Mr. Ron]

lol

[Jude]

The two "th" letters are redundant, we only need one of those. But the "ae" one would be useful. And we could get rid of that pointless "q" while we're at it.

[Iskandar]

The two "th" letters are redundant, we only need one of those.No, we'd need both. The digraph <th> represents two different sounds. Compare "thigh" and "thy."

<Q> is a useless letter. Before the Norman invasion, English used <cw>, but that was replaced with <qu> under French influence.

[big80smullet]

we should replace all C's and K's with K's in order to sound more germanic and kvlt

[Iskandar]

we should replace all C's and K's with K's in order to sound more germanic and kvltthat would be a good idea too

[semi]

sputnik logo is stolen from webdongs tbh

[a cat named virtue]

i'm american. we have no old language or history.

[big80smullet]

[Iceman-rocker]

lolol this thread is lolz

[Jude]

No, we'd need both. The digraph <th> represents two different sounds. Compare "thigh" and "thy."

<Q> is a useless letter. Before the Norman invasion, English used <cw>, but that was replaced with <qu> under French influence.

The two "th" sounds are not phonemic in English so we only need one letter.

[Iskandar]

The two "th" sounds are not phonemic in English so we only need one letter.They (interdentals) are fully phonemic. Several minimal pairs exist:

* thigh : thy
* ether : either
* loath : loathe
* wreath, wreathe
* sheath, sheathe
* sooth, soothe
* teeth, teethe
* mouth (noun), mouth (verb)

[Iceman-rocker]

god i love english.

[Iskandar]

historical linguistics is just so exciting

[Iceman-rocker]

[Iskandar]

[Iskandar]

Alex you know too many languages.

[guitrguy]

We should steal his brain, and soak up his knowledge of Russian.

[Iskandar]

Russia is pretty sweet tbh.

[guitrguy]

It is, if I have to take a second language next year, it shall be Russian.

[Iskandar]

It is, if I have to take a second language next year, it shall be Russian.Товарищ - да!
