The only problem is that Lombardic is an East Germanic language, which were all closely related. And, unfortunately, all extinct. Therefore, I cannot find a...

... Have you seen the speech of the Germanians in the Latin version of Asterix? They say things like "Audite ad! Venimus re!" The translators into Latin were...
Sorry for not posting about Germanic conlonags, but I have a question that needs answering. Tolkien said that Westron is descended from Adunaic. Tolkien also ...
Hello, ... True. ... BZZ! He doesn't say that. ... True. ... No. ... No. Tolkien had a lot of changing ideas as to what affiliation the Rohirrim had with the...
