"Primitive" Norse is believed to be the oldest Germanic language of
which we have any record. It is, in fact, believed to be dangerously
close to "Primitive" Germanic itself, the language from which every
Germanic tongue is believed to have come. Nevertheless, PrN was a
unique language. It was spoken by what is believed to have been a
largely monolingual and rather isolated people. While there was a
time when the curious could only speculate about what PrN might have
looked like, that time is now gone. Radical advances in linguistics
have been make which our forefathers could never have imagined. PrN
is the Mother of Old Norse. For those such as myself who appreciate
and admire Old Norse, which is a bright jewel of many wonders, and
who are interested in comparative Scandinavian linguistics, a single
written document in PrN would be a priceless possession. It would
illuminate the whole field of Scandinavian linguistics like a sudden
dawn after a night of centuries. As we possess no written document
of any length in PrN, those who would desire such should ask the
question: could such a document be produced? Given that several of
the daughters of PrN have survived in one form or another, either as
written or spoken tongues, and that advances in modern linguistics
have been truely great and unprecedented in western history, it now
seems that we can finally answer this question in the affirmative. I
have, therefore, as an admirer and student of Old Norse, taken it
upon myself to test the waters and openly ask the following question:
who amoung you would be interested in working toward the restoration
of PrN? I believe that beauties of Old Norse would be more apparent
than ever before, better understood and better appreciated, were her
ancient Mother to take her rightful seat beside her once again. Yet,
despite the advances in linguistics and the fantastic rewards which
such a restoration would bring, such a project could prove itself to
be very difficult. Nevertheless, as I believe it to be well worth
the effort, I am offering an open invitation to all diligent and
sincere people with an interest in the topic to work together as a
group toward this noble end. Bring whatever you have to the table.
While committments of time would of course be the most valuable, any
background in Germanic linguistics would be especially appreciated,
whether academic or spoken. Remember, whatever dust we can wipe from
the old diamond is for the bliss of glory of all. Let us delight our
ancestors and make them smile. Let us speak with them again.

Regards,
Konrad.
