I attach my first introductory blog on #EastNorse, depicting coming topics.
I will discuss periferal Swedish dialects that originate from a more archaic East Norse than #OldSwedish. I will also by rigorously comparing #WestNorse, #EastNorse and #Gutnish show that they do not derive from 8th century language similar to #OldWestNorse, but a 6th century late #ProtoNorse.
As it seems, that Mastodon does not support PDFs, so I will have to reconsider my format of any future blogs.
#eastnorse #oldswedish #westnorse #gutnish #oldwestnorse #protonorse
My blogs will feature some elements from my existing research, This includes #umlaut, including the spread of #rounding, and #breaking.
#EastNorse and #Gutnish, perhaps #Övdalian, have a different story to tell here and may contribute a lot to the reconstruction of how the process originally proceeded.
