  • I could not understand a word those guys were saying to each other in the pub at around 6:00...

  • @eoinneo

    It does not only sound like that, it is actually closer to German than modern English - as long as I'm a native German speaker.

  • I really liked this movie and i would like to see more on the same topic.....Thanks..John from Canada

  • Marvellous! Thanks for putting this in the public domain - such an asset!

  • @eoinneo That's because germans created it, The barbarians who broke off created it.

    

  • Old English sounds much more like German than modern English. :S

  • Wonderful. Thanks for uploading this.
