  1. I am danish, but i studiet old norse. Written faroese looks like half icelandic / half danish to me
  2. many people here say that norn should remain dead, because english is better. Some people talk about reason for the death of norn, whitout mentioning what the reason was. I can inform you that was due to discrimination, undermining the native culture and something similar to slavery of the natives. Norn only got bad because it was neglected and push away. That can kill every language! For ever once of you who say norn is a step backward, it is not true either, after an update norn would be just as good as english, maybe even better because it would be more regular. Hebrew was dead 2000 years, and now it is a modern language with 7 million speekers. Faroese barely survived till modern times, but now it is doing perfectly well and you can get educations in faroese. For those who say that english should be spoken, because it is the most superior language, I like to ask "Why not take the next step? find the best language in the world, and dump all others?". Now is there any one here, who dont think this would be a terrible loss? And try to imagen if it was japanese, and not english.
  3. Guðan dag! (good day) hej, i am working on the nynorn project =) I mainly work on Orkney norn, but i also work a bit with shetland norn. we have reconstructed a great deal of the old language, and we have five lessons now and 10 - 12 more is on their way ^^ We are a non-profit organization, we are just fashinated by norn :b If if you would like to read about the project itself use this link: http://nornlanguage.110mb.com/
