You can read wikipedia in Anglo-Saxon?!?
I'd like to know:
A) Who put the time required into translating tens of thousands of wikipedia articles into Anglo Saxon? (As far as dead languages go, Latin is a little more understandable, but only a little.)
B) What the few scholars who do happen to read Anglo Saxon are doing using wikipedia as a reference instead of their own 1000 year old resources. Is it just good practice?

ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I actually might look at Wikipedia now. I loved my college time reading Old and Middle English.
ReplyDeleteYesssss. So my original comment was something like how on EARTH did you find this out because the internet is dead, don't you know. The Prince formerly known as an artist said so.
ReplyDeleteDang that was witty. But seriously, who translated it all???
