Ever heard of the Elfdalian language? Spoken by around 3,000 people in Alvdalen. Maintains nasal vowels from Old Norse; for a long time was written in runes; Alvdalen Kindergarten is now solely in Elfdalian. #Elfdalian #Sweden #Alvdalen #Norse #Runes

At least #OldSwedish lō f., #Swedish lo, #Elfdalian luo f. ‘lynx’ < *luhōn- seem to be based directly on the weak stem of this root noun, maybe as an oppositional feminine ‘she-lynx’. This formation must have been more widespread in Germanic once, as #WestGermanic *luhsa- … 5/20

A great big thread about #runes, #Vikings, #Normans, and the North #Germanic #languages: Proto-#Norse, #OldNorse, #Danish, #Swedish, #Norn, #Faroese, #Icelandic, #Norwegian, and #Elfdalian. Do you know someone interested in these topics? Please share it with them!

In the early part of the first millennium CE, the #IndoEuropean language known as Proto-#Germanic diverged into an East branch (which included #Gothic) and a Northwest branch. Northwest then split into West and North branches when Proto-#Norse developed in #Scandinavia.

#Elfdalian now uses the #Latin-based #Dalecarlian #alphabet. Its 32 letters include Ą, Ð, Ę, Į, Ų, Y̨, Å, Ą̊, Ä, and Ö; but not C, Q, X, or Z. The #diacritic hook on vowels like Ų is an #ogonek. It denotes nasality. A traditional Dalecarlian painted, carved wooden toy horse:

#Elfdalian has ~2K speakers, mostly in the #Älvdalen area of #Dalarna County, 🇸🇪#Sweden. Elfdalian has diverged from #OldNorse less than other varieties of #Dalecarlian have. Its #phonology bears characteristics of both the Old East #Norse and Old West Norse #dialects.

#Elfdalian (#Övdalian) is one of the '#Dalecarlian #dialects' of #Dalarna County, 🇸🇪#Sweden. It's not mutually intelligible with #Swedish or #Norwegian; some therefore consider it a distinct North #Germanic #language with features of Old #Norse. Listen: https://t.co/EmReZw5TrB

@tweetolectology This word underwent a semantic shift in #Elfdalian, becoming hand, as seen in "å nevum," "on the hands." In #Swedish and #Bondska "näve" and "neva" respectively are still "fist." #linguistics #dialect #dialekt #lingvistik
