  Interesting how óvinur/uvenner has changed between Scandinavia and Iceland. Óvinur means enemy in modern day Icelandic, exact opposite from friend. Found it interesting that you guys use it differently.

  Swedish, unlike Danish, has been heavily influenced by Lower German because Sweden had at times a closer connection to Germany (lots of German Nobles/landowners in Sweden) than Denmark... or Norway. Subsequently it should be harder for you to understand Old Norse than for a Dane.

  "Old Norse is basically the mother of all Scandinavian languages". 100% Wrong. "Old Norse" is just a modern word for "Norrøn" which simply means "Old Icelandic" or "Northern Scandinavian". However, the language spoken by the Danish Vikings "Dansk Tunge" is referred to in the oldest Icelandic text "Fyrsta málfræðiritgerðin" as another language than Old Norse.

  My best attempt at converting the sentences to the Swedish dialect of the same period. Probably full of mistakes and inconsistencies. Snior fiol en dagh i skoghenum. Manger fughlar byghþu i þæssum skoghi. I þy høghsta træ i skoghenum, byghþu tve(r) mæsingar reþer sitt. Æn arla æn stormrin kom, stal kraka þera æg. Ven mæþ vinga haver þæn oven ær fliugher (flygher?). A thing of note is that this is just the written form. Some differences are pretty much just arbitrary spelling differences, like snior / snjór. I've left out vowel length markers (so kraka instead of kraaka or kráka)

  Here´s a Comparison of modern Germanic languages with the original language spoken by the Vikings in the Danelaw. The ancient Viking language "Danske Tunge" is mentioned in the oldest Icelandic text "Fyrsta málfræðiritgerðin". Here´s a recipe for nut oil written in Danske Tunge by the Danish doctor Hænrik Harpestræng who died in 1244. This text is older than most Icelandic Sagas. Please note that Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian has preserved the original common and neutral articles "en" and "et", as opposed to Icelandic which has no such articles: 1100-1200s Dansk Tunge: "Man skal takæ en dysk mæth nutæ kyærnæ oc en æggy skalæ full mæth salt oc en æggy skalæ full mæth het wat oc latæ them samæn i en heet mortel oc stampæ thæt wæl oc writhæ gømæn et klæthæ". Modern Danish: Man skal tage en tallerken med nøddekerner og en æggeskalfuld med salt og en æggeskalfuld med hedt vand og hælde dem sammen i en hed morter og stampe det godt og vride det gennem et klæde. Standard Norwegian: Du må ta en tallerken med nøttekjerner og et eggeskall fullt av salt og et eggeskall fullt av varmt vann og helle dem sammen i en varm morter og banke godt og vri det gjennom et klede. Modern Swedish: Man ska ta en tallrik med nötkärnor och ett äggskal fullt med salt och ett äggskal fullt med varmt vatten och hälla ihop dem i en het mortel och stampa det väl och vrida igenom en trasa. Modern English: Take a plate of nut kernels and an eggshell full of salt and an eggshell full of hot water and pour them together in a hot mortar and pound it well and wring it through a cloth. Modern Icelandic: Taka þarf disk af hnetukjörnum og eggjaskurn fulla af salti og eggjaskurn af heitu vatni og hella saman í heitt mortéli og þeyta vel og þrýsta í gegnum klút. Modern German: Man nimmt einen Teller Nusskerne, eine Eierschale voll Salz und eine Eierschale voll heißes Wasser, gießt beides in einen heißen Mörser, zerstampft es gut und wringt es durch ein Tuch. Modern Dutch: Je moet een bord met notenpitten en een eierschaal vol zout en een eierschaal vol heet water nemen en deze samen in een hete vijzel gieten en goed stampen en door een doek uitwringen. Modern Frisian: Do moatst in plaat mei nutepitten en in aaiskûl fol sâlt en in aaiskop fol waarm wetter nimme en dy byinoar yn in hite moarmer skine en goed klopje en troch in doek wringje.

  I know no Scandinavian languages at all, though I am fluent in Russian and very familiar with French and Spanish. So I am going purely by instinct. And I haven't listened to the translation of the fourth sentence yet, and at first something told me there was something there about boiling an egg in a pot, which I'm sure is ridiculously wrong, but the context suggests something about the birds protecting their eggs through a storm.

  Stackars norrman. XD They said it's "live" in the second sentence and he just missed that somehow. Then talks about missing hair hahaha, and says "byggur" when he can read that it's not that. 22:15 Yeah difficult one but knowing what it is it still makes so much sense. (22:35 Surely you also got "sitt".) You did really well, and better than the Dane even overall.

  The Engish word for that bird is a Blue Tit. As someone from North East England, I understood a tiny bit, but not a huge amount. I do find it interesting that for all I may not have understood much of it, it was interesting that it doesn't sound foreign to me.

  With respect to the word "haesta" for "highest," in English, we have "hoist ": e.g., to hoist a flag. So maybe that has Norse roots.

  the problem is that Jackson Crawford consistently misspronounces old norse with characteristics of much later stages of the language, but despite how otten i cited accademic literature in the field of reconstructive linguistics, he just goes on and on and on with his selfcentered attitude. well to misspronounce vowels wrong cuz as an american you arent used to them is one thing, so when reciting longer passages you naturally cant surpress your native tongue, but to have acquired wrong habits is another ...

  So as an English speaker just like the Swedish Danish and Norwegian speaking people we couldn’t go back in time and speak with our ancestors, i heard old English maybe some from England or Scotland Ireland or Wales could understand but as an American i was thinking maybe Scandinavians could understand it more and the Icelandic dude basically understand anything from the old Norse and probably a lot of old English too

  Hah! As a fluent Greek and Spanish speaker, I'm reminded of when I read the Koine Greek from the Bible and compare it to the modern Greek (but the differences are nowhere this drastic). Koine Greek vs modern Greek is more like the difference in Spanish and Portuguese, where you can, with some time and patience, understand the meaning of at least 70% of what the other person is saying or writing. This comparison in the video was probably more like Spanish vs French, where both parties might be able to understand 20%-30% of each other?

  More or less. In Icelandic you wouldn't say "Ek heitumk". The reflexive conjugation is different, and Old Norse had a lot of words not used anymore. The negative sencence in O.N. is given by "eigi", in Icelandic is given by "ekki", which was the O.N. neuter of "engi" (noone), while "engi" is now "enginn" and the neuter is "ekkert", and so on. However, one interesting thing is that by reading Icelandic and Old Norse you can actually understand some Old Langobardic.

  Snjór fell einn dag í skóginum. Snö föll en dag i skogen. Margir fuglar bjuggdu í þessum skógi. Många fåglar bodde i dessa skogar. Í þvi haesta tré í skóginum, byggðu tveir meisingar Hreidr sitt. I det högsta träd i skogen, byggde två mesar redet sitt. En áðr en stormrinn kom, stal kráka þeira egg. Men arla än stormen kom, stal kråka deras ägg. Vinr með vængi hefir þann óvin er flýgr. Vänner med vingar haver den ovän som flyger. Should I write these in my dialect, Scanian or rather Jynge... then the 5 phrases would be... Snø føll en daw i skowin. Mø fygler bydde i disse skog. I dí høysta træ i skówin, bøgde twe mesar reide sitt. Men før enn storm kom, støl kråwe diss igg. Vinner mé vinga hawr dán ovinn der fløyr.
