How come that you know how to pronounce Old Norse but not Icelandic? Are you studying old languages?
Icelandic is the most "old fashioned" Scandinavian language so it's much closer to Old Norse than the other ones. (But they are all soooo nice!)

Studied...
Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at University - So I took papers on Old English, Medieval Latin, Old Norse, Old Irish, Middle Welsh, Middle Breton and Middle Cornish. Also did classical Latin and Greek till 18...But this is now 6 years ago - I want to go back. And do more work this time. And learn Hebrew. And Finnish. and Sanskrit. And so on and so on. I want, I want. Hey ho.

Oooooh, one more language lover there! Isn't it a pitty we cannot learn to speak ALL languages?!
Unfortunately I don't know anything about those old languages you studied because I never studied languages at University (and I didn't learn Latin and Greek at school either, just "modern" languages), but it sounds very interesting!!!

Yay! Language lovers! I'm more in'rested in living languages, but if you know tidbits of Latin etc., it makes it easier.

Me too! Living languages are the most interesting thing! But I wish I had a little Old-Languages-Background, too!
