@elmerot In the picture, which is from 2017, I put it as an offshoot during the #umlaut era, that is sixth century CE. I use its official English name #Övdalian. In that case it would be older than East Norse. Now, that may be too early, if we can explain forms like ”singa” ’to sing’ (Swedish ”sjunga”, Old Icelandic ”syngva”) as a later innovation. That will be one of my blog topics.

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.

Did you know they released this new album in April? Nobody tells me anything these days.

From yesterday's King Features Sunday Premiere Crossword:

19 Down: "Danke _"

When I write out a vowel with an umlaut in German in a font without diacritics, I represent that with an 'e' immediately following the vowel.

But evidently the creator of this crossword chose to forget about the umlaut altogether.

Fünf Tausend Helmets

It captures the #schadenfreudian essence of modern #teutonism with a garnish of tasteful #umlaut.

Just rolls off the tongue, but can easily be morphed or acronymized to your taste. Or to torment your foes.

No strings attached. Unless you bring them.

Nice! So far, I always failed to explain English native speakers how to pronounce my last name correctly. But this link gives great help.

Schlögl
„Sch“ is pronounced like „sh“ in English and the mutated vowel #Umlaut „ö“ like „u“ in „burn“.

Nedan ett smakprov på hur ordboken återger #urfinsk:ans #urnordisk:a eller #urgermansk:a lån: Den germanska urformen var *asjōn och då den lånades gjorde en ganska tidig urfinska bruk av sin närmaste motsvarighet till urn. *[s̠] som ännu var urf. *[ʃ]. Efter en allmänfennisk ljudförändring *ʃ > h har nu alla #fennisk:a språk (utom liviskan) -h-.
Tyska ”Esse” och svenska ”ässja” visar på en senare vokalförändring som kallas #omljud eller #umlaut:

Här är ett smakprov på hur ordboken följer upp #urfinsk:ans många #urnordisk:a eller #urgermansk:a lån: Urnordiska formen var *asjō(n) och då den lånades gjorde en relativt tidig urfinska bruk av sin närmaste motsvarighet till urn. [s̠] som ännu var urf. [ʃ]. Efter en allmänfennisk ljudförändring ʃ > h har nu alla #fennisk:a språk (utom liviskan) -h- istället.

#introduction
I do my research at my spare time & 4 cats, 3 horses. At times I’m a bit passionate when I find something new. My wife’s mother tongue is the easternmost (apart from the near-extinct Swedish dialect in Ukraine) dialect of Swedish. I have published stuff about it - remarkably it has similarities with western Norwegian.
My PhD was largely about the #umlaut. Not the dots on letters but the historical vowel fronting in North Germanic. My latest publication supersedes the dissertation.
