Anyone know how I can say "Hello, leave your voice (or
message) after the tone (or sound). Goodbye" in Old English/Anglo-
Saxon? It's for my phone message.
-Michael

- God dæg (God daeg: the ae combines into the letter ash
(alt145/alt230) " æ "). Means Good day.
Also you can say "Ic grete þe" (Ic grete (th)e: the (th)
stands for the letter thorn(alt254) " þ "). Means I greet you.
- Wes gesund, is a common way to say Good bye.
Wes ðu hal, (Wes (eth)u hal: the (eth) stands for the letter
eth(alt240) " ð ")is another way to say Good bye.
- Also if you are saying Good bye to more than one person,
then say Beoð ge gesunde (Beo(eth) ge gesunde).
You pronounce every single letter. Like in German.
æ Æ Ash is pronounced as (a in pat).
þ Þ Thorn is pronounced as (th in thin).
ð Ð Eth or Edh is pronounced as (th in the).
