Well explain where he mention misinformation? Since, älvdalen is close to old norse and they was also the last one in the world to make runestones the old way, and have done it for centuries. At least under the time period when my grandfathers, grandmothers loved their. Her ancestry have lived there since so far back as we can get from family track, from 1300/1400's until the 1800's. About 3k is can speak the language, and it was almost out dead for a few years ago.
@@Realsvearfor one, there is not even any Elfdalian in the video, the sample at the end is Old Norse. And it’s not connected to elves in any way, it’s from the Swedish ”älv” which just means river.
"Trying to bring back the Viking culture in full swing" 😅 how about we just bring back SOME parts of it and leave off the raiding and pillaging and burning of towns and whatnot?
@@NordicJarl27 Well I can't say I completely just wholesale endorse viking raids, but at least you want to change things and you're thinking outside the box. So I CAN say that I appreciate where your head's at 🤷
In order to hopefully spread some actual information I thought it might be worthwhile to go through what this video gets wrong Firstly: Elfdalian is one word, and doesn't have anything to do with elves, it's simply a latinization of "älvdalska", which is the Swedish word for the language. That word in turn comes from the area where it is spoken, älvdalen, which simply means "river valley". Secondly: Elfdalian isn't a "viking language", it's a descendent of old norse like all the other scandinavian languages. That is not to say that it isn't interesting or worth preserving, it absolutely is. It is very interesting linguistically as it combines aspects of old east norse (the ancestor of Swedish and Danish) and old west norse (the ancestor of Norwegian and Icelandic). Elfdalian also preserves some features that have since disappeared from the other scandinavian languages, one example is that it has three grammatical genders instead of the two in Swedish. Thirdly: People aren't "trying to revive the language in hopes of bringing back viking culture", rather they're trying to preserve their traditional regional language/dialect Fourthly: Describing Elfdalian as almost being "wiped out" is overly dramatic, especially with the accompanying images. The video makes it seem like it's the result of some bloody struggle, when reality is a lot more dry. Elfdalian isn't officially recognized as a minority language in Sweden but rather considered a dialect of Swedish. This means that schools won't teach elfdalian but "standard" Swedish. This, in addition to increased linguistic homogenization across Sweden due to increased movement and mass media, causes people to stop using and learning Elfdalian. (Also I can almost 100% guarantee that the viking reenactors on screen when the video talks about keeping the language alive aren't from Älvdalen) Fifthly: The video states that Elfdalian is "radically different from Swedish", as if it were an undisputed fact. I'd disagree. I'll leave the exact distinction between language and dialect to the linguists, but it is clear that Elfdalian and "standard" Swedish are related, closely enough for some to consider Elfdalian a Swedish dialect. From the short example in the video I (a Swedish speaker from Västergötland) can understand most of what is said, loosely translated to : "..here we would want to, by the grace of God, sit with..."
Would the similarities be akin to Spanish and Italian both being romance/latin based, or more like America English from NYC vs Alabama...or London English vs say...northern Scotland?
@@davidmeloche3563 I'm not a linguist so I'm not sure, but i'd guess it's somewhat similar to the relationship between "standard" English and Scots, as there is also a debate about whether to classify Scots as it's own language or a dialect and a fairly high degree of mutual intelligibility
Not really, you should listen too old Swedish,norwegian or old Danish. Its hugd difference between Finnish & old norse since these languages arent related as Scandinavien & rest of the Germanic language etc.
As older Sweden as exemple had alot of word that is same & similar. many words in Swedish is loan words & couple worfs in English is loan word from old norse. Like finnsh has loan words from Swedish, which could make it sounds or seems like it could be some relation with old norse, but they just simple use loan words from Sweden, since Finland had been under Swedish rule for about 700y.
What you played at 0:41 is not Elfdalian, it's the beginning of this Old Swedish text: Hǣr viliom wī medh Gudz nādhom sighia medh faam ordhom aff thø̄m hælgha Gudz martire Sancto Ĕrīco, som fordum war konungher ī Swērīke. Bādhe aff ǣt ok ædle han war swā fast aff konunga slækt som aff androm Swērīkis høfdingiom.

Modern swedish have evolved very much since we spoke old norse but i can hear many similarities between old norse/swedish and elf dalian. Also the place were they speak elf dalian is more western in sweden closer to the norweigan border and therefore they have a another dialect.
Älvdalska is basically old Norse but more like a accent aka cousins to rest of the old Norse community. They have been around same time period as nosrmens in southern part of Scandinavia, and have spooky the language since than until today, but only about 3k speak it, sadly.
@@Realsvear It's not as similar to Old Norse as you think; it has a lot of innovations. And Elfdalian isn't that unique; the other parishes in Ovansiljan speak pretty much the same language.
@@RealsvearElfdalian is not that Close to Old Norse, only Icelandic is extremely close to Old Norse(basically the same language), Elfdalian preserves some linguistic features like nasal vowels but Elfdalian speakers will struggle just as much to understand Old Norse as standard Swedes, in fact, perhaps even a lot more
Preserving Scandinavian culture is great, associating it with Viking culture is probably not a part of that. If it is, I can think of a few world powers who would have something to say about that.
The Norse spoke Old Norse. The closest language we have today is Icelandic. Many of us speak Icelandic. Elfdalian is very very conservative and was only a small spoken dialect even of its day. It developed due to isolation, but because of this it developed in ways that then seperated it from the other germanic languages that stem from Old Norse. Icelandic on the otherhand kept up before it was isolated. Once isolated it then became essentially frozen in time and is so close to Old Norse that I can read much of the original translations of sagas. I can not however understand Elfdalian. Both languages did keep some parts of the Old Norse root. Icelandic kept the Proto-Germanic voiceless sonorants, and interdental fricatives. Elfdalian kept the Proto-Germanic nasal vowels. Elfdalian does not have the vowel shifts that Icelandic has though.
@@rubbedibubb5017 Kinda basic knowledge if you have read about these languages & people in älvdalen. This language is a dialect, which close to old norse.
The sample heard is not by an Elfdalian, it's from a series of videos made by the American linguist Alexander Arguelles where he reads text samples in a variety of languages. The sample heard is when he reads Old Swedish, not Elfdalian! Here's a link to the exact tme stamp in the video: czcams.com/video/jLlPYvuyk_E/video.html

In ostrobothnia, Finland, there are also swedish-languaged municipalities that speak a very odd dialect of swedish. Tolkiens elvish was inspired by finnish btw, ironically a very different structure
@@Herman-kb4ez is that supposed to mean something? You saying that means you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about, Norwegian or otherwise. Being a “Vikingr” in Norse society meant you were a sea farer. You were one of the people Who went in expeditions whether to raid, explore, expand etc etc. Not all medieval Northmen were vikingr. Using the word “viking” as a way to describe all pre-Christian Norse people only started happening after the Viking age.
@@bostontowny4life744 I think there culture was Scandinavian and being a viking was raiding, exploring etc like you said but most people like the English at the time called them northmen I think
you have western and eastern norse. icelandic language are closer to the ancient western norse language but elfdalian is closer to eastern ancient norse language
Agreed ! I’m married to an Icelander and I think Icelandic sounds Elvish like from The Lord Of The Rings. Icelanders have a better understanding of Old English literature as well as old Swedish texts that are 800 years old. Icelanders can understand them better than a modern day Swede or a modern day Englishman because their Icelandic language hasn’t changed much and has been well preserved since the time of the Viking Era in medieval Europe
Want to keep the Viking culture alive? Create a small village somewhere in Scandinavia and pay the plane ticket for anyone who wishes so join.. I'll be the 1st one to join up 😅❤️
That’s a cool fact but I did some research, too and learned from English class as well. Is it possible most of their Viking history is based on Old Norse Mythology?
I’m Swedish and grew up in Dalarna the same county as Älvdalen where they speak älvdalska (elf dalian). It’s an old dialect that has been preserved as many other old dialects is because of segregation before it was easier to travel around. The dialect is not to hard for a regular swedish speaker to understand. And what I know are they not trying to kick start the Viking culture with it, it’s just an old unique dialect.
also, take English for example. Modern Day English today. The furthest back in time you could go and still have a half decent conversation would be around 1554. Past that point, no one could understand you.
Elf Salian is not a Viking language. No Vikinger ever spoke it. It is a modern north Germanic language that developed FROM the language of the Vikings, the same as Swedish danish and Norwegian
Faroese and Icelandic also sounds a lot like old norse, way more than mainland norwegian, finnish, swedish or danish, also Viking was a job description, not a nationality
@@lovinglifebutnotonearth3909 they mean Scandinavian. But the social media gave an image of power and strength to people's mind. That's why evey body loves vikings and if they are of Scandinavian decent, they'd say viking decent. You can notice now a days, many people are growing their beards to look like vikings
Probably easier for you, if you learn Swedish first as a stepping stone - fortunately it's fairly easy for English speaking people to learn Swedish, since there are many deep similarities with the basic vocabulary of English ( like a "mysteriously" parallel world of an older English WITHOUT the peculiar use of "do" and "-ing" with verbs ) as well as several similar grammatical features - and you would even "get" Danish & Norwegian as well almost for free ( just with slightly different spellings, different pronounciations and tonalities, essentially the same grammars in most important respects and then a few different words here and there , which will often be understandable anyway from their constituents and from the context. These words could potentially be Swedish words as well, or they even used to exist in older Swedish - and vice versa.
What do you mean "this is not happening"? Swedes were as much vikings as the norwegians. And you can listen to Elfdalian here: czcams.com/video/49wyVPt7L-U/video.html
1. I'm a little lost on the hype? Elfdallion is around as old, maybe slightly older, than Icelandic. It's not exactly super impressive in it's age, even moreso when you consider that their were different dialects of the Norse language throughout Scandinavia. So, while this language MIGHT have been spoken by our favorite raiders and traders, so were a bunch of other dialects and even other languages. 2. No, it sounds nothing like Tolkienian elvish. They have entirely different linguistic forms and inspirations. Elfdallion is derived from old Norse whereas Quenyan from Lotr is inspired by Welsh. The language of the Eotheod (Rohan) is inspired by Old English, so Norse adjacent but still different enough that it doesn't sound similar. The closet you get is the dwarves language but that really only does so far as naming conventions.

Don't spread misinformation
Seconded
Eð ir eð int
Well explain where he mention misinformation?
Since, älvdalen is close to old norse and they was also the last one in the world to make runestones the old way, and have done it for centuries.
At least under the time period when my grandfathers, grandmothers loved their. Her ancestry have lived there since so far back as we can get from family track, from 1300/1400's until the 1800's.
About 3k is can speak the language, and it was almost out dead for a few years ago.
So, the question is, what did he mention thats not correct?
@@Realsvearfor one, there is not even any Elfdalian in the video, the sample at the end is Old Norse. And it’s not connected to elves in any way, it’s from the Swedish ”älv” which just means river.
"Trying to bring back the Viking culture in full swing" 😅 how about we just bring back SOME parts of it and leave off the raiding and pillaging and burning of towns and whatnot?
But theres no fun in that. I say we go the whole nine yards lol 😆
@@NordicJarl27 Well I can't say I completely just wholesale endorse viking raids, but at least you want to change things and you're thinking outside the box. So I CAN say that I appreciate where your head's at 🤷
In order to hopefully spread some actual information I thought it might be worthwhile to go through what this video gets wrong
Firstly: Elfdalian is one word, and doesn't have anything to do with elves, it's simply a latinization of "älvdalska", which is the Swedish word for the language. That word in turn comes from the area where it is spoken, älvdalen, which simply means "river valley".
Secondly: Elfdalian isn't a "viking language", it's a descendent of old norse like all the other scandinavian languages. That is not to say that it isn't interesting or worth preserving, it absolutely is. It is very interesting linguistically as it combines aspects of old east norse (the ancestor of Swedish and Danish) and old west norse (the ancestor of Norwegian and Icelandic). Elfdalian also preserves some features that have since disappeared from the other scandinavian languages, one example is that it has three grammatical genders instead of the two in Swedish.
Thirdly: People aren't "trying to revive the language in hopes of bringing back viking culture", rather they're trying to preserve their traditional regional language/dialect
Fourthly: Describing Elfdalian as almost being "wiped out" is overly dramatic, especially with the accompanying images. The video makes it seem like it's the result of some bloody struggle, when reality is a lot more dry. Elfdalian isn't officially recognized as a minority language in Sweden but rather considered a dialect of Swedish. This means that schools won't teach elfdalian but "standard" Swedish. This, in addition to increased linguistic homogenization across Sweden due to increased movement and mass media, causes people to stop using and learning Elfdalian. (Also I can almost 100% guarantee that the viking reenactors on screen when the video talks about keeping the language alive aren't from Älvdalen)
Fifthly: The video states that Elfdalian is "radically different from Swedish", as if it were an undisputed fact. I'd disagree. I'll leave the exact distinction between language and dialect to the linguists, but it is clear that Elfdalian and "standard" Swedish are related, closely enough for some to consider Elfdalian a Swedish dialect. From the short example in the video I (a Swedish speaker from Västergötland) can understand most of what is said, loosely translated to : "..here we would want to, by the grace of God, sit with..."
Wow
Thank you for this!!
Would the similarities be akin to Spanish and Italian both being romance/latin based, or more like America English from NYC vs Alabama...or London English vs say...northern Scotland?
@@davidmeloche3563 I'm not a linguist so I'm not sure, but i'd guess it's somewhat similar to the relationship between "standard" English and Scots, as there is also a debate about whether to classify Scots as it's own language or a dialect and a fairly high degree of mutual intelligibility
I was expecting to see a comment like this
Thx man I already felt that the video was kinda weird
Sounds like Finnish is speaking Norsh
Lol for real
Not really, you should listen too old Swedish,norwegian or old Danish. Its hugd difference between Finnish & old norse since these languages arent related as Scandinavien & rest of the Germanic language etc.
As older Sweden as exemple had alot of word that is same & similar.
many words in Swedish is loan words & couple worfs in English is loan word from old norse.
Like finnsh has loan words from Swedish, which could make it sounds or seems like it could be some relation with old norse, but they just simple use loan words from Sweden, since Finland had been under Swedish rule for about 700y.
And this is not how the norsemen sounded at that time or have been. he didn't spell it correctly.
its actually a county in sweden called Älvdalen, and The languige is Älvdalska

Viking age 2: Norse Boogaloo

Modern swedish have evolved very much since we spoke old norse but i can hear many similarities between old norse/swedish and elf dalian. Also the place were they speak elf dalian is more western in sweden closer to the norweigan border and therefore they have a another dialect.
Det du hörde i videon var dock inte älvdalska, det var svenska
I thought Vikings spoke Old Norse
Älvdalska is basically old Norse but more like a accent aka cousins to rest of the old Norse community. They have been around same time period as nosrmens in southern part of Scandinavia, and have spooky the language since than until today, but only about 3k speak it, sadly.
@@Realsvear dang. I'm teaching myself Old Norse
@@Realsvear It's not as similar to Old Norse as you think; it has a lot of innovations. And Elfdalian isn't that unique; the other parishes in Ovansiljan speak pretty much the same language.
@@RealsvearElfdalian is not that Close to Old Norse, only Icelandic is extremely close to Old Norse(basically the same language), Elfdalian preserves some linguistic features like nasal vowels but Elfdalian speakers will struggle just as much to understand Old Norse as standard Swedes, in fact, perhaps even a lot more

@@unknownbutknown332 well viking culture was raiding slaughtering and enslaving small settlements mostly
@@razakid1993 So basically modern USA and Russia
@@razakid1993 viking wasn't a culture, it was an activity, you are thinking of norse culture.
The Norse spoke Old Norse. The closest language we have today is Icelandic. Many of us speak Icelandic. Elfdalian is very very conservative and was only a small spoken dialect even of its day. It developed due to isolation, but because of this it developed in ways that then seperated it from the other germanic languages that stem from Old Norse. Icelandic on the otherhand kept up before it was isolated. Once isolated it then became essentially frozen in time and is so close to Old Norse that I can read much of the original translations of sagas. I can not however understand Elfdalian. Both languages did keep some parts of the Old Norse root. Icelandic kept the Proto-Germanic voiceless sonorants, and interdental fricatives. Elfdalian kept the Proto-Germanic nasal vowels. Elfdalian does not have the vowel shifts that Icelandic has though.
Well, based of new historical facts, älvdalska is closer to old norse than Icelandic.
Reaons, Icelandic has change by the time more then älvdalska.

Agreed ! I’m married to an Icelander and I think Icelandic sounds Elvish like from The Lord Of The Rings. Icelanders have a better understanding of Old English literature as well as old Swedish texts that are 800 years old. Icelanders can understand them better than a modern day Swede or a modern day Englishman because their Icelandic language hasn’t changed much and has been well preserved since the time of the Viking Era in medieval Europe

Luv these Viking videos!👏🏽
Many of them is all lies though
danish is the most viking like language. and people who disagree are
either sweeden og norway
I’m Swedish and grew up in Dalarna the same county as Älvdalen where they speak älvdalska (elf dalian). It’s an old dialect that has been preserved as many other old dialects is because of segregation before it was easier to travel around. The dialect is not to hard for a regular swedish speaker to understand. And what I know are they not trying to kick start the Viking culture with it, it’s just an old unique dialect.
also, take English for example. Modern Day English today. The furthest back in time you could go and still have a half decent conversation would be around 1554. Past that point, no one could understand you.
It sounds something like this: BARABARABARA BEREBEREBERE

Elf Salian is not a Viking language. No Vikinger ever spoke it. It is a modern north Germanic language that developed FROM the language of the Vikings, the same as Swedish danish and Norwegian

Same
Probably easier for you, if you learn Swedish first as a stepping stone - fortunately it's fairly easy for English speaking people to learn Swedish, since there are many deep similarities with the basic vocabulary of English ( like a "mysteriously" parallel world of an older English WITHOUT the peculiar use of "do" and "-ing" with verbs ) as well as several similar grammatical features - and you would even "get" Danish & Norwegian as well almost for free ( just with slightly different spellings, different pronounciations and tonalities, essentially the same grammars in most important respects and then a few different words here and there , which will often be understandable anyway from their constituents and from the context. These words could potentially be Swedish words as well, or they even used to exist in older Swedish - and vice versa.
Sameee
Cool it sound kind of like German
I'm guessing they'll modernize their gear when they decide to go "a Viking". If not, they'll hard a fairly hard time raiding and plundering. 😂
Iam from Sweden and i have never heard this
All cultures should revive their traditional ways
This is not happening. And most of the vikings lived in Norway. Harald Finehair/Harald Harfagre united the Jarls or Norway around 1000.
What do you mean "this is not happening"?
Swedes were as much vikings as the norwegians.

1. I'm a little lost on the hype? Elfdallion is around as old, maybe slightly older, than Icelandic. It's not exactly super impressive in it's age, even moreso when you consider that their were different dialects of the Norse language throughout Scandinavia. So, while this language MIGHT have been spoken by our favorite raiders and traders, so were a bunch of other dialects and even other languages.
2. No, it sounds nothing like Tolkienian elvish. They have entirely different linguistic forms and inspirations. Elfdallion is derived from old Norse whereas Quenyan from Lotr is inspired by Welsh. The language of the Eotheod (Rohan) is inspired by Old English, so Norse adjacent but still different enough that it doesn't sound similar. The closet you get is the dwarves language but that really only does so far as naming conventions.
Elfdalian is amazing, but it is not as unique as people think, it's very similar to the other Dalecarlian dialects in Ovansiljan, especially Våmhusmål.

Älvdalen
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%84lvdalen
Älvdalska = Old Norse mixed with Walloon
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walloon_language
Sweden imported Walloon smiths from about 1620
🤔 wonder if I have any Viking ancestry?
Sounds similar to old English.
