Dead/obscure Language?

[Sama- Alucard of DOOM!]

Anybody here speak a dead/obscure language? I'm trying to learn Anglo-Saxon (old English)...needless to say its difficult xd

Anyway, are you fluent? What made you want to learn the language?

[Sakura Latte]

would you mind giving me some examples of Anglo-Saxon words?

And no, I don't speak a dead or obscure language

I don't really know any yet. I just got interested in it a few days ago.

Here's an online anglo-saxon dictionary

Latin would be cool :3

I know latin. I can't speak latin, or remember the majority of the vocabulary, but if you give me a sentence and a latin to english dictionary, I can most likely translate it.

I'm about mid-level latin, btw (latin 3)

[Eccentric Iconoclast]

I'm learning Aymara, which is obscure as anything and is possibly the coolest language ever.

If she was Aymara, then wouldn't she already know the language? > >

As I recall, she said on another thread that she was here in the states. I don't mean to put words in her mouth, though. xp

I'm fairly proficient with Latin. I've been taking it in school for over 5 years, and I I'm pretty good with most of the grammar; now I just have to perfect the vocabualry. I can't speak it, and if you were to say something to me it would take me quite a while to translate it in my brain, but I can read it fairly well.

[Euphonious Cantabile]

I want to learn how to write in ancient Vietnamese (aka Chu Nom).

Only the problem is--I would need to learn Chinese before I attempt to learn ancient Vietnamese, because ancient Vietnamese used Chinese characters as the basis for their characters.

It's sad that the only reason the Vietnamese people switched to using the Roman alphabet from using Chu Nom characters is because they were so illiterate with the characters.

[Daionii]

I'd love to learn Brythonic/Brittonic/Old Welsh. Then I could really appreciate some of the poetry I love >w<;
Don't think it'd be possible, though.

[El Dimentio]

I can read (and partially understand) Latin... I know Spanish and Italian which helps a lot... I can't speak it though, all I can do is understand written Latin...

Does that counts? razz
