I believe - that the similarity between Old Norse and Modern Icelandic
Is maybe the same as Shakespeare/Marlowe is to our Modern English
Some compare Modern English to Chaucer in that context - but
I tend to believe that is going a tad too far

CD's now that is a different kettle of herring I hope someone can help
I tried Google - but they were not a lot of bottle this time

How similar is Icelandic to Norse? Is Norse different from Old Norse?
Apologies for being a bit obtuse.. I learned a poem from the edda..
recite in old norse.. I'd like to have more CD's to listen to.
is there an "old norse on CD" anywhere?
Please don't burn me for asking an elementary question.. I have been
lurking on the site for a couple months now.
I have a fascination with language.. so although I might not be able to
translate fully.. I like learning while commuting, I have one CD of Old
Norse...
thanks
