Sæll Jens!

From this foreigner´s point of view, that would be extremely useful. As I
carry on with ON at uni, I believe I will be covering some EN texts as well
and the more exposure I get to Norse in general, the more interesting the
whole subject becomes.

Many thanks for the idea.
Kveðja,

Sarah.

I'm interested in recording some shorter ON texts using my own
northern Norse dialect Jamtlandic as an "environment". Well, the
texts you use are of Old Icelandic origin in most cases, so an
Icelandic accent is probably the most accurate reanimation. What do
you say about me recording pieces of 14th century Old Jamtlandic
texts (only texts related to law)? I think my Old Jamtlandic is
almost as accurate as your Old Icelandic.
This project would mainly be just for fun, but to some extent it
could be helpful for foreigners who only have heard the Icelandic
version of ON.

Regards,
/Jens
