Old Norse was the language of the Vikings from the 8th century to the 14th century. It was written in Runic script originally but started using the Latin script after the Christianization in the 11th century. You should see my
Latin Script to Elder Futhark Runes Translator and my
Latin Script to Younger Futhark Runes Translator for that. Old Norse brought many new words to Old English. Many of these words still survive in Modern English, like the words: 'give' and 'take.'
Old Norse had many dialects. These dialects eventually broke into different languages. The closest living language to Old Norse is Icelandic.
Because the Old Norse Lexilogos is not enough for this translator, I have made some reconstructed words based on Old Norse's descendant languages.
This is not a perfect translator. Please give any suggestions that you have.
For the approximate pronunciation of the special letters:
ð = the "th" in then.
þ = the "th" in thin.
á = the "ow" in brown.
æ = the "ie" in lie.
é = the "ye" in yell.
í = the "ee" in feed.
j = the "y" in yell.
ó = the "ow" in show.
ú = the "oo" in noon.
ý = the "ea" in lead.
ö = the "o" in voilà.
