Elfdalian: The Nordic Language That No One Knows Of

video: Most people know Nordic languages such as Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic, but deep in the Swedish woods exists a language which very few people have ever heard of. Elfdalian, which the language is known as, is spoken by 2,500 people in the region of Dalarna in Sweden. May 7-8, researchers from the Nordic countries will meet in Copenhagen to discuss Elfdalian, which contains Old Norse as well as modern Nordic linguistic features. Hear two of the organisers present the conference in Elfdalian below or read more at http://humanities.ku.dk/news/2015/elfdalian_the_nordic_language_that_no_one_knows/ view more
