For the non-Old English Speakers...I thought that I would start a new thread about Old English because I am learning it. I have translated some Orthodox prayers for you all. Yes, I am indeed learning Old English. Enjoy!I just found the origins of English to be interesting.
Basically, it's the standard prayers that begin most of the canonical hours. Linguistics is a crazy hobby of mine!
Comments? Criticism? Anyone else speak/learning/interested in Old English?
In Christ,
Andrew
