I was reading a new edition of one of the oldest books in Swedish (the Erik Chronicle) which had the Old Swedish one page and the modern Swedish on the facing one. All of a sudden I saw a word I instantly recognized from English amongst the surprisingly difficult Old Swedish... yes: "understand". At it did in fact mean understand.
Yeah. It's hard to say what family english is in because of the constant raids. It's like a mix of old Saxon britonic old French and norse with Latin too.
@@losisansgaming2628 No it's not. German and English are both ancestors of the Westgermanic language, thus is part of the Westgermanic language family. The grammar of English is Germanic, French and Latin had no influence on the core grammar whatsoever.
I'll never look at the word "understand" the same way again. All those Old English words... the language has changed so much due to sound change and the importation of words from French and other places. But "understand" translates to "understand". Pretty much unchanged by the millennia. One cool word.
As a person who lives in Poland, who speaks Polish as a native language, learned English by Google Translate and knows a bit German, i love how the word understand never changed.
The one thing I like about old and mid English is that it sounds so close to Latin and German, but it’s so distinct enough it genuinely feels like you’re listening to an alien language
It's just crazy to think there were various language like this but now they don't exist anymore and it makes me think allot about the world what would have happened if the Etruscans or samminites became a empire and the Romans didn't. Crazy stuff
As a German, id like to politely give my thoughts to this .. wtf, this is no where near German. It doesnt sound like new or old german, we dont use funny Symbols, nothing.

Late to the party, but this is splendid. I’m not a good judge of the language, but you always make it sound quite effortless. 😂🙏 Also fun fact: I’ve met the woman the original was written for. Small world!
@@cpp3221 It never spoke a Latin language. Before Old English, Welsh would have been the lingua franca. Latin was only the Roman administration of Roman Britain, and a few complicit upper class Britons. But no, English still isn't a Latin language. It is firmly Germanic in base, grammar, pronunciation and syntax. Just a lot of Latin words were added after 1066 but the Old English base remains.
Those words are all still there in English. it is just modern English speakers are a bit 'blind' to the links to the Old English words and are not taught the spelling differences between O.E. and Mod.E. Léoge is seen in this video for the word lie. you might think they are completely different but once you realise that 'g' in OE was often pronounced as a 'y' sound you see that this is the exact ancestor of the modern word lie (with change in pronunciation, of course). Forgive is there also, but meant to 'abandon' in Old English. Ic is 'I', þu is the foreword of 'thou'. óðer is 'other', geseleð meant 'give' in OE and at first looks nothing like modern English but it is made up of a 'ge-' element that is dead in modern Englist and sell + eð (the 3rd person conjugation ending). So the modern word sell is from that, but it meant more like 'to give' in Old English. Dærst is the same as modern 'dare' +est (2nd person conjugation ending). Mód is the ancestor of modern English mood but it meant more like 'heart, bravery, feelings' in Old English. there are plenty more example.... A bit of learning of O.E. spelling and pronunciation will enlighten you

@@alfiemillersharp english got its french influence and therefore became modern english slowly in 1066 when william of normandy invaded england so around 1000 to 1100 years old.
Being Dutch I can hear that Old Dutch and Old English are closely related: words like ‘gelogen’ (lie) and forskrive (voorschrijven: order, prescribe and related meanings) forlæte (verlaten: to leave) come up.
Isn’t “gelogen” a word still used in modern German? Lügen-log-gelogen is the conjugation of the verb “to lie”. It seems surprisingly consistent throughout all Germanic languages 🎉
You might be interested to hear that the "ge" prefix found in Germanic languages survived in some dialects of English. The consonant has been lost, so it is now found as "a-going" and "a-speaking" and the like.
it didn't even connect to my mind to compare it to dutch, and i'm also natively dutch (more specifically flemish, and i think it's related to frisian, so makes sense that it doesn't sound quite how my southern speech sounds)
“Your Majesty! We have a telegram based on the attack the from the Romans!” “You have my permission to speak the message!” “Nā me forgife iė pē…” “Dammit! He got me again!”
@@simplesack_ Maybe it would from a more modern point of view, but I believe that voiceless fricatives /f θ s ʃ x/ were voiced between vowels in Old English, notice how "forgife" and "forsċrife" have their first f pronounced as /f/ and the second one as /v/
As a huge history nerd who loves languages, I love how Ancient English sounds so different than the modern one, but some words can be identified. It just shows the roots of an entire language clear as day, it's like digging up an ancient tomb.
Honestly the melody works great with medieval instrumentation. If I heard it in the background of some fantasy game trailer I wouldn’t think twice about it.
I'm just going to recommend going to Rick Astley's account and listening to the slow/pianoforte version. It is just the most emotional song, and the dissonance makes you feels sad the internet is ending. It is a trip. Also he did a bunch of excellent covers over Covid that are worth a listen.
The issue with this video is that some of the Old English pronunciations are slightly off. For example "me" with the macron over it was pronounced "may" in Anglo Saxon, but the lead singer pronounced it "me" here.
I'm amazed that I *almost* understood one of those lyrics without the annotation. "Never gonna make you cry" to (translated) "You will never weep for (because of) me" was some pretty slick enterpretation.

I love the Latin and olde English covers you make. This is also, by the way, the most creative Rickroll I've ever seen xD
The Old English is like finnish and german in one language.
The way "understand" is pronounced sounds like ralli-English (basically English with a Finnish pronounciation)
You mean swedish and german
Finnish is in a different language family
@@jer8036 The pronounciation does sound kinda Finnish in some parts though
They belong to the Germanic family that's why
and a bit of latin actually
Bonus points for including the literal translation. It's fascinating to see how the concepts from the original song translate
E
That's the great thing, the song's aren't just translations but also localisations.
Vortigern: trust me, those Saxon mercenaries are totally reliable. Look, they just sent a video to explain how they'll help us against the Picts!

“Actually, curse them. I’d rather die.”
I can't speak for people such as King Arthur,Cadwallon ap Cadfan or Vortigern but to me this is one of the best Rick Rolls ever!
This doesn't sound like a rick roll anymore. This song is so calm, it just makes me think about life 😭😭
This makes it sadder. He’s telling his lover that he will do anything for her and will never leave her side.

Being Dutch I can hear that Old Dutch and Old English are closely related: words like ‘gelogen’ (lie) and forskrive (voorschrijven: order, prescribe and related meanings) forlæte (verlaten: to leave) come up.
Isn’t “gelogen” a word still used in modern German? Lügen-log-gelogen is the conjugation of the verb “to lie”.
It seems surprisingly consistent throughout all Germanic languages 🎉
@@wilgefortisohlin568 it’s used both in German and in Dutch
You might be interested to hear that the "ge" prefix found in Germanic languages survived in some dialects of English. The consonant has been lost, so it is now found as "a-going" and "a-speaking" and the like.
it didn't even connect to my mind to compare it to dutch, and i'm also natively dutch (more specifically flemish, and i think it's related to frisian, so makes sense that it doesn't sound quite how my southern speech sounds)

@@simplesack_ Maybe it would from a more modern point of view, but I believe that voiceless fricatives /f θ s ʃ x/ were voiced between vowels in Old English, notice how "forgife" and "forsċrife" have their first f pronounced as /f/ and the second one as /v/

As a huge history nerd who loves languages, I love how Ancient English sounds so different than the modern one, but some words can be identified. It just shows the roots of an entire language clear as day, it's like digging up an ancient tomb.
Its insane to hear how much English has changed through centuries. Fascinating stuff, and those bardcore videos are amazing.
Honestly the melody works great with medieval instrumentation. If I heard it in the background of some fantasy game trailer I wouldn’t think twice about it.

I'm just going to recommend going to Rick Astley's account and listening to the slow/pianoforte version. It is just the most emotional song, and the dissonance makes you feels sad the internet is ending.
It is a trip.
Also he did a bunch of excellent covers over Covid that are worth a listen.
Fascinating! Awesome! One wouldn’t know it’s English. Thanks! Happy holidays! 🌞🎅🏻🎉
You can much better hear the germanic roots in old English than modern.
The issue with this video is that some of the Old English pronunciations are slightly off. For example "me" with the macron over it was pronounced "may" in Anglo Saxon, but the lead singer pronounced it "me" here.
that's what several hundred years of French influence does to a language.
@@HermitKing731 And everyone else that invaded. A lot of modern English is extremely similar or exact to a Latin word too.
it was weird like i was reading it as if it was some sort of icelandic language.like the german roots ARE VERY VISIBLE in old english
@@Shinku_no_sanbun AFAK, the grammar and basic words are still the same as Germanic
I'm amazed that I *almost* understood one of those lyrics without the annotation. "Never gonna make you cry" to (translated) "You will never weep for (because of) me" was some pretty slick enterpretation.
i can't believe you done this
"Forscrīfe" which sounded like "for sheeva" or "for sheeba" was what make me wanna come back to here time and time again 😭😭💘💖
