[Wikipedia-l] Old norse

Mon Jan 3 23:02:25 UTC 2005

I will use the modified latin alphabeth. Old norse is not so different from 
modern icelandic and often mistaken as that, but I want to use the same 
language the one you find in Norwegian texts from the 12th, 13th and 14th 
centuries. I don't find it more strange than latin, anglo-saxon or a lot of 
other old langiages. The letters which are not used in modern English are as 
follows: æ, o, ð and þ (but not ä, ö, ø or å as in modern scandinavian).
