Thanks for the link, Norman!  I admit I've seen this before, but when a subject is interesting - like languages I run into in researching my ancestors! :-)  - I watch or read things more than once. One of the joys of genealogy research is that one's "necessary trivia" knowledge accumulates over decades and it becomes like a rich tapestry with ever more complicated designs that are interwoven to form a complicated and harmonious pattern.  One can study parts on a micro level..., or stand back and view the entire thing..., like looking at the Bayeux Tapestry..., but a far longer timeline..., like a strand of DNA. In the Norse language family there is also Elfdalian which is very nearly extinct and Sweden is working to preserve it.  There are a few YouTube videos featuring people who speak the language.  If you know the origin of the Swedish Dala horses, it includes that region of Sweden (not all that far from Norway). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elfdalian Here is a language tree that's been updated from a diagram I had since it now includes Elfdalian under the Norse languages next to Gutnish (a few new German categories are also listed on this language pedigree chart).  Download the image and keep it for future reference.  Nearly every time I get an updated link for this Indo-European language tree, it disappears on me and I have to go in search for this same image.  The first link should work if the second one doesn't after you click on the image.  The full view is very large. https://www.ancient.eu/image/1028/ https://www.ancient.eu/uploads/images/1028.png?v=1485680376 Beste hilsen, Bev On 7/24/2018 5:33 PM, Norman wrote: > > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onduQjgAj8Y >
