Lazurus said (cant get the hang of quoting
online-sorry!) "would be useful to hear an icelnadic
radio station..." or words to that effect.

I actually meant I was interested in resurrecting as
accurately as possible "Viking speech" (Sounds a bit
melodramatic but you know what I mean) rather than
using the mutated but similar pronunciation of modern
icelandic. I think Barnes took his suggestions from a
medival text on grammer or something? I willn find out
the name when I find that book again but does anyone
know anything about this?
