Grendel speaks Old English here and says the following: Grendel's mother: My son! my poor son! Grendel: Mother! Grendel: He beat me, mother! Grendel's mother: Sleep now, my son. Grendel: He murdered me, mother! Grendel's mother: Who murdered you, my son? Grendel: He ripped off my arm! Grendel's mother: He will pay, my darling. Who was the man? Grendel: He was so strong, so strong! Grendel's mother: Who was the man? Grendel: His ... his...name was....Beowulf.

Old English is very similar to Old Norse, and ofc they are both Germanic languages. :)

Well, Old English was spoken in England in like.. 800 AD, so really it's been evolving for like... 1,200 years.

Its astonishing how easy it is to understand the old english he's saying, and how close it sounds to scandinavian languages (^^)

Sounds like a mix of German and Dutch to me...

@miketh6 Uh, yes, there is. Old English became Middle English, became Modern English as we know it today...the language has been evolving for the past 5 or 6 hundred years.

In a way, I'm glad that we don't get to see her true form in its entirety. While I am curious as to what she looks like, it added some mystery about her.

@miketh6 Yes, there is. It's the language in which the poem was written. When heard, it sounds like Swedish.

[miketh6]
