Icelandic hardly changed since vikings' times, so you have the unique opportunity to hear how your ancestors spoke.

Well my people came from the Caucasus mountains, enslaved and mixed up with some Slavic peoples around the Carpathians, then moved up north to kill the native Sámi out of the way and settle next to the all-around scary vikings. Fenno-Ugric people don't really share much else than cultural heritage (from the past 1000 years or so) with other Scandinavian people, so no - I would not have a great chance to hear how my ancestors spoke if I heard Icelandic spoken. I'm more likely to get a grasp of my roots when I listen to Hungarian or some Tsuadilzieölumagawaki-language from the southern parts of the former USSR.

sorry, momentary lapse of the reason, I'm perfectly aware of your NOT being germanic, it's just all this 'Swedish and Norwegian' talk that pushed me into writing the stuff about Icelandic.
You wrote "Fuck it, the propaganda the Swedish teachers feed you is that you can communicate with finesse with any scandinavian peoples once you learn to speak Swedish, but I honestly can't understand half of the shit you guys babble about (nor does most of the grammar work the same way either), not to mention how god-awful Danish or Icelandic is..."
and perjaps for a milisecond there I forgot you were Finnish. Apologies mate, I must've been not yet fully awaken.

Also, I kinda wrote it to the Scandinavian DACers in general.

Hah, they tricked you.

Norwegian is the ultimate Scandinavian language. I can read and understand Swedish and Danish with no problems whatsoever, but Norwegian and Swedish/Danish is incomprehensible to the Danes/ Swedes.

that'd be pretty strange... you can understand Swedish is you speak Norwegian but you can't understand Norwegian if you speak Swedish? D: suspicious logic.

Woohoo! A firearm discussion overrun by a nordic language flamefest and dick comparison. The Apocalypse is one step closer.

It sounds pretty wacky, but it's true. I always have to speak English when I'm in Denmark and Sweden. :sadblinky:

Whatever. Get mauled when the Russians come in. If you were smart you'd pretend to be a viking long enough to profit from the pillaging of the English coastline. When your pockets are full of Church gold you can move back to Finland and buy off the Russians and their tanks. Bear cavalry. Bah. Real men ride goats.

real men drug them... and take turns.

Moose cavalry is the best D:
Some swedish king actually tried it during the 18th century, they were rideable and everything. Only trouble was that they fled when faced with enemies equipped with sharp thingies and cannons.
