The Enigmatic ICELANDIC Language Langfocus 2022-05-20 | This video is all about the Icelandic language, an Insular North Germanic language (along with Faroese). It can be also be classified as a member of the Western branch of the North Germanic languages (along with Faroese and Norwegian) because it developed mainly from Western dialects of Old Norse.Icelandic is said to be the closest North Germanic language to Old Norse (meaning Old Icelandic as it appears in old literature like the Icelandic sagas). Icelandic retains much of the inflection that existed in Old Norse. Contrast that with English which has lost most of the inflection that existed in Old English - a language which was very similar to Old Norse. The fascinating result is that Icelandic feels just like a familiar but somewhat distant cousin of English. And for anyone who has studied Old English, the relation will seem much less distant.►Learn a language with Pimsleur: imp.i271380.net/langfocus ► Get started with a free trial!

Luxembourgish - A Dialect of German? Or Separate Language? Langfocus 2022-04-09 | This video is all about Luxembourgish and its features, in comparison with Standard German. I also talk about Luxembourg as a rich multilingual environment and try to give a bit of an idea of what life must be like there. Luxembourg is officially trilingual, having Luxembourgish, French, and German as its official languages. Most people speak more than one language and switch between them depending on the setting and the person they are interacting with. The historical native language of Luxembourg is a Moselle Franconian High German dialect, which became Luxembourgish as it was standardized and made the national language of the country.Special thanks to Tom Weber for his Luxembourgish audio samples and helpful advice, and to Markus Doehr for his Standard German samples and helpful advice.►Learn a language with Pimsleur: imp.i271380.net/langfocus ► Get started with a free trial!
