Do you know . . .

. . . which language Professor J.R.R. Tolkien admitted moved him to tears simply by hearing it spoken aloud?

Do you want . . .

. . . to hear Beowulf or the great Sagas recited as by the poets of old, in the dramatic and lively sounds of their original tongues?

Are you looking . . .

. . . for a fun, community-based way to study German? Swedish? Old Norse?

Are you interested . . .

. . . in exploring how one ancient language can split into three sub-branches, survive the wanderings of numerous tribes, and exist in several completely distinct languages today?

Then come be a part of a group reborn!

Germania's Kunjarazdôz: The Language Lounge has been experiencing renewed vigor of late, and you are invited to be a part of the excitement. The group, which has the broadest scope of any language group in Ancient Worlds, was created to explore all Germanic languages, both ancient and modern. Recent posts have covered topics from Old High German dialects to Modern German vocabulary and trivia to the lost Germanic language of the Franks. We always enjoy welcoming new members, and would like to welcome you, too.

Is it really for me?

You bet it is! Don't know any Germanic languages? Not true! If you're reading this post, you've already got a solid grasp of the world's most widespread Germanic language. Are you a native speaker of German, Swedish, Icelandic? Come, share your knowledge! Perhaps you're a non-native speaker and had to learn English or German from the outside? We'd love to know what you found most challenging or different from your own language. Do you specialize in another language--Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Chinese, something else? Come and share your knowledge, too; we would love to know how it compares with English, German, Gothic, Old Norse... We all benefit from learning how other peoples express themselves--both in what's similar and what's different.

So, you see, no matter who you are, you can be a valuable member of Kunjarazdôz. Come as you are, or if necessary ... as someone else ... but come. No one else can contribute your thoughts and observations, so join us as we explore the languages of the Germanic peoples!

Wesað ge hal!!
