The Lords Prayer in Old English

The Lords Prayer in Old English, the Welsh, Irish & Scots all know their language, but we here in England are not being taught our heritage, traditions or values in schools today, only to forget them !

Waes Hael, St. Edmund, Saxon King & Patron Saint of England !

Absolutely brilliant Kewl. We should learn this and demand Anglo-Saxon courts immediately.

Wow what a big differance. Why did they, refine it and change it so much?

It sounds so unreconisable. I guees modern English would sound foreign to them, as this does to me. I have never heard the spoken word of old English. Nothing like what we use today. Why would they forge it. Was it to crude?

@isamtator Language doesn't change because it is flawed or as a conscious decision, it changes because small differences in pronunciation or word choice eventually become exaggerated. The word 'true', for example, was pronounced with a hard 't' sound (as with other words that begin with 'tr') that eventually morphed to sound almost like 'ch'. There are a lot of people who now pronounce 'true' as something more like 'chroo'.

@isamtator

the structure and conjugations and the extremely basic pronouns/words are for the most part not changed much, but the vocabulary was so heavily supplemented by latin that most of the old english words were just slowly phased out

@Pantherandpolitics Screw Islam

Some examples: Fire= Feuer (pronounced almost identically), "rice" here in this Lord´s Prayer = Reich - has also something to do with rich = reich - in the Cologne+North German dialects they still say risch for reich - which is pretty identical -also pronounced - with the modern English rich.Especially if you listen to modern - still spoken - German dialects (Rhinish dialect or North German dialects) you can hear +read the gleaming of many words almost identically spoken like modern English....

[MrSKINFLICK]

@RattytheSecond:The melting of Saxon+Anglic idioms seems already very progressed here.But the two Germanic dialects had obviously a lot of trouble melting together during 5 centuries.Every modern German -especially from the North German parts -can still read(not so much hear)the surprising resemblance of many words here to German words...on the other hand many English words(40-60%)are still pretty similar to modern German words,the English don´t know it because we pronounce them so differently!

@RattytheSecond One correction to what I've written. I called the English spoken during Chaucer's time Old English; it was actually Middle English. Sorry about that!

[RattytheSecond]

@isamtator You've asked some excellent & interesting questions. English is a Germanic language. As spoken now it's evolved from its ancient form over a period of more than a thousand years. Compare this ancient English with Old English of Chaucer’s time in the fourteenth century & it sounds very different again. By the seventeenth century English was spoken in the "Shakespearian" way. No deliberate changes were ever made. A thousand years from now it will sound as different as this does to us.
