I know enough geeks.

So someone should be able to help:

Who out there knows-- or knows someone who knows-- Medieval Norwegian? Or any of the Viking dialects which would have been spoken in Scotland around 1200?

Bwah? I couldn't even begin to send you a resource. Do you need something translated out of or into Medieval Norwegian?

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Um...yes? Just a few words.

Ping frualeydis. I don't think she'll be able to help you directly (she studies medieval clothing/textiles in northern Europe - not languages), but she is the most likely person I know who could point you in the right direction.

Tell her I sent you. :)
