Talk Like a Viking
Old Norse vocabulary, grammar, and the language of the sagas — the tongue spoken in Iceland, Norway, and throughout the Norse world.
Orð mér af orði orðs leitaði,
verk mér af verki verks leitaði.
Twelve centuries after the Codex Regius was written on Icelandic vellum, the language it preserves is still spoken across the Nordic world, and wherever the sagas are read.
The symbols and words of the North Germanic tradition belong to a living corpus that unites. The Eddas, the sagas, the runic inscriptions, and the scholarship built on them across generations. We at EddaLang build tools for that tradition; returning to the sources, bringing them forth again.
