Well you should know a lot of what she has said is completely wrong. Norse Mythology predates the accidental founding of Iceland by Vikings by at least 130 years or longer. Iceland wasn't founded until 830, and Norse Mythology's creation happened around 5th century to 7th century. It was based on Germanic teachings of mythology from Greek/Roman Mythology and even Irish mythology.

Idk about the Eddas but the Havamal originated in Norway and was put into actual text in Iceland. Iceland seemed to be far more advanced than Norway and cares more about spirituality and preservation of religious practices than Denmark so most all texts for Norse Mythology come from Iceland. So grateful for Iceland for this. Probably the most important people from the Viking Age because without Iceland we wouldn’t really know any of the old stories.

Thanks! This was a really cool vid. I'll be using some of the phonetic features here to build names for dnd characters.

I've been studying norse mythology for a little under a year and it's really interesting! The names are closest pronounced in Icelandic due to the fact that the texts are originated from there but the belief itself was from Scandinavia and some parts of Germany (which is why it's also called Germanic mythology). Old Norse is an entirely other language from Icelandic but it's really close and amazes me on how close they are. I'm trying to learn the ancient language of Old Norse so maybe I should learn some Icelandic as well as it could help me! I think it woul dbe really cool:) great job!! Really love this:)

Interesting. If I may add - we also have some older names for these Deities here in Germany, like Odin is Wotan, Thor is Donar, Frigg is Frija (not to be confused with Freya, though I guess historically they were sometimes conflated, too). Cool.

Thank you so much for sharing, that was wonderful. Hearing the sounds brings it all to life. Our Elders taught us that the language( Native ) is your connection to your Ancestors and Nature. The sound of Norse sounds like all the natural elements of Iceland( rocks, ice, volcanos, lava, ocean wildlife) all coming together in these beautiful words and names voiced by humans. So as it says.. in the beginning was the Word.. this is very true for Norse. Never doubt yourself or your culture, its part of something powerful and beautiful that stirs artists and musicians !

How it was actually pronounced by the Old Norse was very different from modern Icelandic. Óðinn- The "ð" is pronounced like th in the, or that, as opposed to th in thimble or thing. Loki- Same as modern English "LOW-key" Þórr- Almost identical to modern English except for an alveolar tap instead of an r. Sort of like a rolled r that only lasts a single trill. Frigg- Sort of pronounced like "Freeg", again with an alveolar tap instead of an r Mjölnir- Mee-l-NIR Also with an alveolar tap.

Double LL sounds were not pronounced like that in Old Norse. They were pronounced as an L sound held twice as long. Those double L sounds in Icelandic and Faroese are more modern innovations. Icelanders will often downplay (or straight up not mention) how much Modern Icelandic changed from Old Norse/Old Icelandic. Most of the old texts come from Iceland, it’s true. But that does not mean modern day Iceland has any special claim to Norse history. What she is doing is misinforming people about how Old Norse sounded.

Norse mythology isn't originated from Iceland, but from Scandinavia before Iceland was even settled by the Norwegians. But vikings didn't really write stuff down like the Christians, except a few rune stones. So a few hundred years after the viking age an Icelandic writer/chief (Snorri Sturluson) started to write down sagas about the mythology and viking legends.

1. Old Norse - the language the eddas are written in is quite similar but still different from Icelandic and therefore pronounced differently. 2. Old and middle English is also quite similar to old Norse, they called Odin Woden and likely had different variations of the myths about him than the eddas. To addres the thumbnail: When the English started using the Latin alphabet instead of runes they struggled with how to write ð and first wrote it like y (why some old pubs are named "ye red duck" etc.) But only later used th to write the ð sound so we now write the and not ye.

I agree sounds better when properly pronounced. Great video.

Fun fact: old Norse and old English are very similar in the sounds used. This is because there was a lot of Norse colonization back in the 800’s and 900’s all the way up to 1066. Once you hit that year for some reason there is a ton of French that gets injected into English and pronunciation of words starts to change very rapidly. By the late 1400’s English pronunciation becomes close enough to modern English that you can start to understand it as a native English speaker.

So I just wanted to highly recommend you to actually check out the Swedish pronunciations and spellings :) /En glad svensk! oh, and some additional Sweden-trivia: It is said that our flag was inspired by a Swedish king (cant remember who haha) who had just returned home, and from a distance he sees a glistening cross (of a church) being hit by golden sunlight, in front of our beautiful blue sky.
