Oh. Honestly, I used my 5inch phone screen and only googled runic alphabet to choose a pic for this thread, I didnt even expand the picture to read it whatsoever.
I dont correspond the runes to English, I read the ancient dictionary when I was a baby, it didnt have pronunciation so I came up with sounds from what I overheard on the TV in the other room. I used to exclusively think in that language.
Which language?
Elder runic. If i were to speak the sounds I assigned to the runes it would sound totally retarded, its random bullshit from shit on TV in 1995.
You don't know shit. Having a dictionary around does not mean you know the language at all.
Can you even speak ANY 2nd language?
And I mean for real, not just knowing a few words.
Go ahead, prove me wrong by answering in any language other than English. And be aware that Google Translate is easy to spot.
Btw, I'm not very good at languages, but I grew up in a region with 2 native languages, and studied English and French as third languages at school, just like everyone else. So don't be too proud if you just learned a few Spanish words with Dora.
Ok, you have a lot of useless knowledge
Congratulations
Speak? No, maybe a thousand phrases and words in dead latin but you said that doesnt count.
I could speak the sounds I came up with for runic, but it would be impossible for anyone else to understand. If I had my computer keyboard which qwerty was replaced with runes id be able to type the response in ancient norse, but the keyboard is locked in my gun safe at my uncles house.
How did you learn grammar from a dictionary?
Also, Latin is not dead. It has continuously survived as a spoken language as monastic Latin. Classical Latin has also always been known and documented and a revival of speaking classical Latin has occurred throughout the 20th century.
He didn't. He just replaces one English word with one Norse word, or whatever. So...he has no idea of that lang.
I didnt know that about latin. The big old book I read four thousand and eight hundred pages of a word in Runic followed by an explaination in both English and runic.
Reading it, along with lots of PDFs of old books like stories of King Arthur's round table.
Ok, let's imagine you get a Spanish dictionary and memorise it completely and perfectly.
Do you think you'd know Spanish? No, not really. You wouldn't understand the grammar or any expression.
And Spanish and English are somewhat closely related, which makes things easier.
Now do the same with a Japanese dictionary. Would you know Japanese? Not even at the basic level.
Japanese is much more different from English, and you wouldn't know even the most basic syntax and grammar.
Now, back to your dictionary. Even if you had eidetic memory and could recall every single word, you wouldn't know anything about the language, only a collection of words you can't put together in a sentence.
You'd end up with something like:
> I speak English very good, because to me has learned much of his words.
(I wrote that in other language and replaced every word with the English equivalent. The result isn't really English.)
