- Nej, alla klusiler faller inte finalt, bara /d g/ (< [D G]). Jag gissar att Skomakar'n misstolkade det som att du enbart syftade på /d/ pga ditt exempel. Märk att de här även försvinner medialt i flera dialekter, som jag nämnde förut. Som sagt gäller detta inte lånord, samt många lågfrekventa ord....

Ohai! 1. Den här är nog den jobbigaste eftersom skriftspråket har totalförstört distinktionen, dvs man kan inte alls lita på det som stavas med e respektive ä . Enda säkra sättet som jag egentligen vet är att gå tillbaka till varenda ords ursprung og kolla vad för vokal den hade i fornsvenskan. Kort...

Colloquial Icelandic is supposed to be pretty good

This really reminds me of when Eddy was ranting about the German word for 'girl' (Mädchen) being neuter.

Dingbats: Not having "är" in it is a bit fail of me, I guess that's what I get for writing in the past tense and not thinking enough :<

Skomakar'n: hestaR is nominative. The map refers to that particular ending.

The red area denotes the area where ON -R was not lost in indefinite masculine plurals or the type hestaR. Danish is the only standard language who does this however, cf. heste.

There was no such thing.

Aszev's flag is likely the flag of some real world country or state. It wouldnt necessarily have to be specially made for him. Extremadura , a province of Spain. The flag is upside down, but well... There is to my knowledge no real world flag that is black-white-green with 1:2 proportions like mine...

You do realise that he was eating the pizza in Italy..

Which is irrelevant to your comment about eating pizza with a fork being indecent.

You do realize that pizza is subjected to substantial geographical variation?

Just throwing in this map,




Also thanks Xonen :)

Just came back from my ~vacation, so I can now inform ze board that a copy has safely arrived in the Old World.

Concerning some other adjectives, the suffix -na forms a verb with the meaning "to become..." or "to turn into...". gul ---> gulna (yellow ---> to become yellow, to turn yellow) Some adjectives have corresponding causative verbs: glad ---> glädja (happy ---> to make happy, to cause someone to be ha...

This is a good idea.

Thanks guys!

I threw this map together last night for something completely unrelated, but I thought I could share it here anyway. It shows the development of the Old Norse singular neuter definite article -it in the traditional dialects in Sweden. http://aveneca.com/huset.png Green: -ed (hused, taged) Red: -(e)t...

Indeed. Mine's due the 21st of April, which is enough to forget about it and then get pleasantly surprised when it arrives

I did.

Followup! This time it's about Gotland. Again, it's in Swedish only, so my apologies to you who don't speak Scandinavian. I did this in two stages, so my apologies in advance in case there are any mistakes or something missed. http://www.aveneca.com/vlag-sve.png G UTNISKA - D IALEKTERNA PÅ G OTLAND

Newest installment!

I made a webpage about the traditional dialects of Blekinge. It's in Swedish only though, so my apologies to you who don't speak Scandinavian.

BLEKINGSKA - DIALEKTERNA I BLEKINGE

I'm pretty sure I don't speak Greater Danish :| I must've pointed this out at least 3 times by now; the map shows historical and traditional varieties and has nothing to do with the book language people speak today. And where did you get "Greater Danish" from anyway? I live near Malmö, and in Malmö...
