Have you \u00a0heard about the ancient dialect of Elfdalian? Not? Where I can give you a quick summary. I can also provide you a very nice poem written by Lars G\u00f6ran Lanneg\u00e5rd who obviously speaks the dialect. I say dialect but it counts actually as old Nordic language. They have form and cases that you can only see in Icelandic or Faroese, but Elfdalian has also a bunch of characteristics that other Nordic languages or dialect don&#8217;t have anymore. Deep in the Dalawoods of Sweden it has stood the test of time and the isolation made unique marks on Elfdalian and preserved very much of the Old Norse features.\u00a0Elfdalian is a separate language by the standard of mutual intelligibility. There was an Elfdalian\/Swedish vocabulary that came out in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Archaisms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lack of vowel lengthening in open syllables.<\/li>\n<li>The medial voiced fricatives <span class=\"IPA\" title=\"Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)\">\/\u00f0\/<\/span> and <span class=\"IPA\" title=\"Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)\">\/\u0263\/<\/span> are retained.<\/li>\n<li>The dative case is retained.<\/li>\n<li>Old Norse nasal vowels are retained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Innovations and unique developments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More frequent assimilation of pre-Norse <i>mp<\/i>, <i>nt<\/i> and <i>nk<\/i> to <i>pp<\/i>, <i>tt<\/i> and <i>kk<\/i>, as in West Norse dialects.<\/li>\n<li><i>a<\/i> &gt; <i>o<\/i> before Pre-Norse <i>nk<\/i> (but not <i>kk<\/i>).<\/li>\n<li>Old Norse <i>ei<\/i>, <i>ey<\/i> and <i>au<\/i> develop into <i>ie<\/i>, <i>\u00e4<\/i> and <i>o<\/i> respectively.<\/li>\n<li>Diphthongization of Old Norse long high vowels <i>\u00ed<\/i>, <i>\u00fd<\/i>, <i>\u00fa<\/i> to closing diphthongs <i>ai<\/i>, <i>\u00e5y<\/i>, <i>au<\/i>, and of the long rounded mid vowels <i>\u00f3<\/i>, <i>\u0153<\/i> to opening diphthongs <i>uo<\/i>, <i>y\u00f6<\/i>.<\/li>\n<li>Vowel harmony (present also in other dialects of central Scandinavia).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Info: Wikipedia Read more here:<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elfdalian\"> link<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some comparative word list and your first lecture in Elfdalian language find here: <a href=\"\/\/polyglotinprogresssite.wordpress.com\/elfdalian\/\">link<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard.jpg\" aria-label=\"Lannega\u030ard 194x350\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7711\"  alt=\"\" width=\"194\" height=\"350\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard-194x350.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard-194x350.jpg 194w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard-768x1382.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard-569x1024.jpg 569w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tungt war er go aut i raise<br \/>\nmes snion log i draiver<br \/>\nO we&#8217;ens ymse saidur.<br \/>\nIg ar snion nidhi skuoen<br \/>\nOg uvonad skollam ainger grottsjrais nidyvyr buomen. <span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><br \/>\nDar ir eikonnes ferder<br \/>\nOg r\u00e5diuor og brinder<br \/>\nOg eller slags dyre i raise<br \/>\nSkalded prestn \u00e5 itanj\u00e4r waise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Idag var det tungt att vandra i skogen<\/p>\n<p>N\u00e4r sn\u00f6n l\u00e5g i drivor<br \/>\nP\u00e5 v\u00e4gens b\u00e5da sidor.<br \/>\nJag har sn\u00f6 i skorna<br \/>\nOch \u00f6ver huvudet h\u00e4nger sn\u00e5rskogen \u00f6ver v\u00e4gbommen. <span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><br \/>\nD\u00e4r finns sp\u00e5r av ekorre<br \/>\nOch r\u00e5djur och \u00e4lgar<br \/>\nOch r\u00e5djur och \u00e4lgar<br \/>\nDiktade pr\u00e4sten s\u00e5 h\u00e4r.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Skriven och \u00f6versatt av Lars G\u00f6ran Lanneg\u00e5rd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"194\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard-194x350.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard-194x350.jpg 194w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard-768x1382.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard-569x1024.jpg 569w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/swedish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/04\/lannega\u030ard.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><p>Today I have a real treat for everyone who is in love with languages.
