Synopsis
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.
