I don't know if you brits find this interesting but here is an old norwegian song with english translation about the battle of Stamford bridge from the viking perspective: youtube.com
I have been reading alot of the sagas and later norwegian/british history lately and i have realised that we have as rich history with Britain as we do with Sweden and Denmark
Why have we not cultivated this relationship further?

That's a good song
i need to bump this and gain some input from bongs
which dialect is that?
We likely would have been closer to Scandinavia had it not been for the Norman invasion desu
good song
>Why have we not cultivated this relationship further?
not sure lad, north sea union when
Kinda tricky to be a subject when we have our own Monarch.
The singer is from Telemark. So its nynorsk with a rolling r.
i can understand why a dane might have trouble with some of the words. instead of trying to search for the danish equivalent try instead to listen to the spoken word and listen for the english equivalent. Sometimes they are closer.
Norway gives us a Christmas tree each year, I'd say that's pretty close.
Not a dialect, it's nynorsk
York has a big viking themed festival each year if you're into that kind of thing.
the further north you go the more it feels like we have cultivated it
What's the point of nynorsk? Why can't you just use bokmål?
YOU'RE NOT GETTING FUCKING ORKNEY OR SHETLAND BACK CUNTS
google it. i cant be bothered to type out all that now. There is a good argument for it.
Also that dialect uses alot of old norse words and as i gather this an old song so there is a bunch of words that are archaic
Here's an abbreviated version of the story
>oh cool we're not a danish subject anymore
>wait which language do we speak?
>Group 1: Let's just base the language off danish with norwegian pronounciation like they speak in the cities
>Group 2: No, let's try to find a more ''norwegian'' norwegian, by finding out how the least danish-affected dialects speak and conglomerate that into a language
Group 1 turned out to be the most popular, but both bokmål and nynorsk have to be represented in literally anything that's written by the government, from laws to news to websites
Why don't you just use 'riksnorska' like Swedes have 'rikssvenska'?
Becaues we don't have any obligation to copy Sweden? Honestly, what a dumb question
My family on my fathers side has always been fishermen, whalers, sailors. Their homes were always rich with british items on the mantelpiece and since many of them were war time sailors they always spoke with reverence of the Brits... unlike our closest neighbour
i meant to say "unlike what they had to say about our closest neighbour"
It's not a dumb question. Why would anyone want to delve into language politics in Norway? Stop beeing a cunt.
The British and Norwegian armies still train together quite a lot, my father was in the army and said he used to pay the taxi drivers with bottles of beer because alcohol is so expensive over there
I'm from Liverpool and Norwegian sailors introduced us to lapskaus (we call it "scouse")
it was so popular that people living in Liverpool became known as 'Scousers' and everyone's called them that ever since.
you might find this interesting as well, old fashioned Northern English accents sound very Scandinavian to my ears and a lot of the words are derived from old Norse words from the days of the vikings.

i recognised i few words here and there but i would say that the scots have more words in common with my dialect of norwegian
I'm a Yorkshireman and there are plenty of towns with -by suffixes, and kids are known as 'bains', but otherwise I'm not sure what evidence there is for Old Norse influence
>but otherwise I'm not sure what evidence there is for Old Norse influence
probably because you don't realise some of the words you use are actually from old norse
look at this list and see if you recognize any. i'm not even from yorkshire and i use a few of these words and i remember my grandparents using quite a lot of them.

Cute, you sound like naturally submissive.
>viking.no
Thats was very informative. Most of those norwegian words are still in use today.
please, just a little
Our first priority is Greenland. Have you seen the documentary on how Denmark daned Greenland from us?
>searchin for and downloading gay hentai in order to call me a faggot
>lapskaus (we call it "scouse")
Love the stuff! I had Lapsakus for dinner yesterday! According to my relatives it was popular among fishermen because it was an easy stew to make and it contained enough vegetables to pervent scurvy and could easily be conservated.

>hehe ur are le gay for knowing gay hentai
>i knew it was gay hentai from the filename
I don't know who is more autistic. You, not understanding my point, or me explaining it to you and completely derailing the thread
The king, whose name would ill-doers scare,
The gold-tipped arrow would not spare.
Unhelmed, unpanzered, without shield,
He fell among us in the field.
The gallant men who saw him fall
Would take no quarter; one and all
Resolved to die with their loved king,
Around his corpse in a corpse-ring.
There are still ferries but only for lorries. The passenger route from Harwich to Esbjerg ran for 139 years until 2014. Feelsbad.
scouse is fit lad, i cannot lie
have you tried putting your scouse/lapskaus on bread and then dipping it in HP brown sauce? it's some good shit
>Why have we not cultivated this relationship further?
vikings are racist and "english" is "west" "germanic"
