Excerpt from Grammar of the Anglo-Saxon Tongue: With a Praxis
But this circumstance renders it still more necessary: to German scholars: to them the Anglo Saxon is almost what the Icelandic is to those of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway; not because the German and Dutch can, strictly speaking, be con sidered as derived from it, but because, of the old-saxon,,and other ancient, exstinct, dialects, from which, they are derived, such small fragments are transmitted to us, that they'rnust, in great mea sure, be explained and illustrated by the aid of the anglo-saxon; to which tongue;recourse may be had, where the others completely desert the phi lologist; for the Icelandic lies more remote for Germans, though quite as interesting to them, as anglo-saxon to Scandinavians.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of the Anglo-Saxon language and the Scandinavian tongues derived from it. The author argues that Anglo-Saxon is not the source of the present-day Scandinavian languages, as has been previously assumed. Instead, the author traces the development of these languages back to their common ancestor, a now-lost tongue that was spoken by the inhabitants of southern Scandinavia in the centuries before the Viking Age. The author presents a wealth of linguistic and historical evidence to support this theory, challenging long-held beliefs about the relationship between these languages. This book is significant as the first comprehensive examination of the origins of the Scandinavian languages, and its insights will be of interest to scholars of linguistics, philology, and Scandinavian history.
