I miss ðem bros

most of those still exist, and also i mean for example ø is literally just ö and æ is ä
Icelandic and Faroese people still use them. The rest of us don't because we've lost those sounds.
why is Iceland always so based
>why is Iceland always so based
Their language has basically stayed the same for hundreds of years thanks to isolation. Rhey can still read the old sagas.
Overall very based country and people.
varg b like, "I'm a traditional pagan, I worship Tor"
wow, very unbased
>varg b like, "I'm a traditional pagan, I worship Tor"
How is this related to what I wrote? I'm not sure I'm following you.
But yes, Varg is cringe.
Swedish doesn't have "th"
>wow, very unbased
:/
Oh well, not my fault anyways. The Germans have also dropped that sound.
Englishmen still have it but spell it with "th" for whatever reason.
>Swedish doesn't have "th"
Elfdalian does, but most of us don't, just like the majority of Germanic languages.
Do you use them for Icelandic geographic names?
>Do you use them for Icelandic geographic names?
Yes. But we would use Polish letters in Polish place names too.
But Elfdalian is a separate language, not a dialect afaik
>But Elfdalian is a separate language, not a dialect afaik
According to the state it's a dialect, others consider it a language. I wouldn't consider Swedish and Norwegian separate languages but officially they are. It's like different dialects of Arabic.

i missed you bro
I never went anywhere, I stopped posting ð because I removed the Icelandic keyboard and I don't like going copying and pasting
>G*rmanic language
The languages of MEN
we have ø and æ but don't use ð even though the sound is there
Зз we have those lil niggas
I hate your language with a passion.
I don't think about yours
Since when have we lost the "th" sound?
Daily reminder English used ⟨th⟩ before adopting ⟨þ⟩ and ⟨ð⟩, and that both of these graphemes represented the same phoneme, /θ/, in Old English and were interchangeable, as opposed to Old Norse where they differed in voicing: ⟨þ⟩ = /θ/, ⟨ð⟩ = /ð/.
Also, ⟨ȝ⟩ is top cringe.
t. haver of based opinions
?
We certainly use /ø/ and /æ/, just that the graphemes are the German variants, ie ⟨ö⟩ and ⟨ä⟩.
We never had ⟨ƿ⟩ or ⟨ȝ⟩, however the Icelandic manuscripts did use a counterpart to ⟨ƿ⟩ (wynn) which was ⟨ꝩ⟩ (vend) with the same phoneme, [w]. As for the phonology behind ⟨ȝ⟩, it's just /j/ which we certainly use.
Icelandic is FUBAR tho. It's NOT a carbon copy of Old Norse like many will often claim.
Elfdalian is certainly a language of its own which has developed rather radically different from any other peninsular Scandi language. I don't much care about its political status as a language or a dialect, it's just what I would say. Compare to it other so-called "genuine dialects" which right and proper are dialectal varieties of Swedish, as opposed to Elfdalian which functions differently in its entirety due to intact cases and living 3-way noun-gendering system as opposed to ours with only 2.

Also, an interesting thing to point out about this video, is that her dialect retains the old Yas Forums phoneme, [w] that Swedish no longer generally employs for native vocabulary but did until relatively recently, for example her realizing ⟨vart⟩ as [waʈ].
t. autistic about linguistics and philology
Not a carbon copy but the closest you're gonna get.
Fun fact, Greek has the same two dental fricative sounds and has two letters for each.
đ=θ = 'think'
þ=δ = 'this'
>English used ⟨th⟩ before adopting ⟨þ⟩ and ⟨ð⟩
þ was a rune, not a latin letter
>⟨ȝ⟩ is top cringe
It was a version of g for the [gh] sound, better have 1 letter than two
>it's just /j/ which we certainly use.
was used for the sound of [ch] in German "Nacht"
le quirky letters
Languages need their own alphabet.
'Ch' used to represent χ but now it's a ч with 'kh' meaning χ. It's why Polish and Slovak look fucking retarded. Jesus doesn't care what alphabet you use. Also why is 'ph' a thing if φ was transliterated as ф in Russian. Romans were fucking stupid.

ы
>why is 'ph' a thing if φ was transliterated as ф in Russian
Because that's how it used to be pronounced before a sound change occured
taыe
I have books with them.
though it works differently than norse
like
lower case thorn þ is used for (th)e sound with Ð being the upper case.
it doesn't use ð or Þ.
(th)orn sound is made by the th diagraph.
>þ was a rune, not a latin letter
Did you read anything of what I posted? Like... at all?
>It was a version of g for the [gh] sound
>[gh] sound
That's... not at all how you use IPA and I'm very triggered. I get that you mean the fricative g, which is [ɣ], but [gh] would be sequence of sounds, namely [g] followed by [h]. The fricative g which was often orthographically rendered as ⟨gh⟩ is only one phoneme: [ɣ].
Also, that Middle English meme letter (⟨ȝ⟩) didn't represent that phoneme alone, you know. It covered the full range of [j], [ɡ] [ɣ], [x] and [ç], and apparently also [w] at times. And I called it cringe because ME is cringe. :^)
>bruh two million ways to spell any given words lmao
ȝ never existed in writing.
it was a corruption of joining g and h together.
See
> it's just /j/ which we certainly use.
only in Scotland I think.
