Christianity has been universalist since 1054, it's pretty hilarious how top clerics actually cannot comprehend the satanic nature of this
>>61472872

That said, the band is pretty good overall, but it's not my cup of tea anyway.
>>61475334
Some languages makes it easier to understand another one than the other way round.
The Dutch can understand German more easy than Germans can understand Dutch.
>>61475609
But German and Norwegian should be far apart wheras Danish and Norwegian should be closer.

>>61475916
Standard Ǿstnorsk er IKKE dansk. Selv om dansk har hatt mye innflytelse over det normaliserte talemålet så betyr ikke det at det er dansk. Ǿstnorsk er like norsk som enhver annen dialekt.

>>61476219
Norwegian has a tone system and it has a nice rhythm that almost makes it sound like singing. The tone part is probably the only thing it has in common with Chinese. Chinese sounds absolutely nothing like any European language.
I know I fell for terrible bait, but I felt like I should let you know.
>>61476410
>Norwegian has a tone system
No. No it doesn't. It's just the accent that makes it sound like that.

>>61476512
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_phonology#Tonal_accents_and_morphology
On a phonological level most dialects of Norwegian have a pitch accent system to distinguish words that would've otherwise been pronounced identically.
company once sent me to Norway for three months. After a while I went crazy because of their language. It sounds like they're singing all the time. It was actually driving me crazy.
>>61476773
That's true. But that's not a "tone system."
A tonal system is something like Chinese where the whole language is built around pronouncing 1 of the 4 tones in a word correctly, else it means something else entirely.
Example:
>Chinese tongue twister:
>四是四,十是十,十四是十四,四十是四十
>Pronounced : "sì shì sì, shí shì shí, shísì shì shísì, sìshí shì sìshí"
>"Four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty."
Whereas in Norwegian, the pitch differences are usually visible when written, e.g bönner, bönder.

NON PHONETIC LANGUAGES SHOULD NOT EXIST ANYMORE
With that being said:
Germanic languages sound like a cavemen grunting. It's like you can measure how retarded does someone sound, by how strong his Germanic accent is. Norwegian sounds like a Chinese person trying to speak Germanic, like it has a heavy Mandarin choingchoingdoingboing sounds to it.
Romance languages sound nonsensical and gay, it's like if pretentious people had to have an accent, it would be a Romance one. I speak English and I can tell you that rules are shit, nothing makes any fucking sense, there is NO FUCKING CONSISTANCY, there are no rules, there is no logical or sensical way to predict how will letters sound, its not even a language, it doesnt matter what you write down, it's going to sound NOTHING like the previous word, it does not follow any patters or order, its just pure chaos.
Same goes for Germanic languages too I guess.
And now, Slavic languages. They are the best. Simply the best, at least as far as Serbian go. Makes perfect sense, phonetic, one letter, one sound, you can see the word for the first time and you will know exactly how it sounds, there's no grunting, there's no pointless shit, it's just a perfect way to transmit information from one intelligent being to another.
>>61482420
Fun fact: German in slavic languages literally means mute person because the old slavs couldnt understand them and thought they just couldnt speak properly
Sounds like someone trying to speak German while having a seizure and choking on their tongue that theyve just bitten off because they were having a seizure.
There was one language spoken around the border to Asia somewhere that sounded exactly like Norwegian, but I can't remember what it was called. May have been in Turkey or Georgia or something, I don't know. Anyone have the video or know what I'm talking about? Saw it on /int/ years ago
>>61482655
Yeah, Chinese. Village/province Chinese, to be more specific, since "Chinese" isnt an actual language. It sounds like, imagine a drunk poor villager in medieval period stealing a horse and ridding off a cliff at full speed, shouting maniacally as he is falling down in his confusion, drunkness, fear, anger, remorse.. That's how Norwegian and Mandarin sound to me. Like a drunken peasant in bumfuck nowhere ridding off cliff. So much tones. So much shouting. So fast. So uncalm.

Still, if a language sounds like grunting of a caveman who got hit by a few too many rocks to the head, AND it's also not phonetic.. people really shouldnt speak that shit today (unless in a museum environment or something, definitely not in a business interaction).
What is up with your sounds having no rules? What is up with randomly and chaotically pronouncing your letters with zero sense? Also, using tones? Like I get using tones if a bear was right behind you or if you are having a stroke or I dont know..... but shouting in a normal conversation?
Ban your languages pls.
>>61471910
Like a weird mix of German and French. Sound okayish.
>>61483741
>What is up with your sounds having no rules? What is up with randomly and chaotically pronouncing your letters with zero sense? Also, using tones? Like I get using tones if a bear was right behind you or if you are having a stroke or I dont know..... but shouting in a normal conversation?
There are rules and there is consistency. German is pretty phonetic. Norwegian has a bunch of silent letters and exceptions, but it's not as bad as English.
>>61483934
And there are usually rules for which letters are silent, so even in words with silent letters you will much of the time know how to pronounce it
it sounds very abrupt. It's like you are speaking a bunch of words by themselves instead of joining them together in sentences.
>>61483934
Yeah, it has rules and there is consistency, a bare minimum of it just so it can pass off as a human language.
Bullshit such as not being at least 95% phonetic, tones, silent letters, grunting sounds, shit you write down not sounding the same etc.. there is really no practical reason or purpose for a modern human being to 'talk' like this.
If you need to shout, shout, if you need to be silent, be silent, but if you are having a normal conversation where there's no need to shout or be silent, than you should figure out already how to transmit information without sounding like a barbarian from a bad movie.
>>61484167
> grunting sounds
what do you mean by this? no germanic language has grunting sounds, especially not Norwegian.
>>61471910
dat ass
>>61483741
As I said, english is a clusterfuck. It's considered a germanic language, but a majority of it's words have comes from latin or romance languages, mainly french/norman. It's not really comparable to other germanic nor romance languages.
>>61484206
The way words sound. They.. how do I put this in English, they just dont sound 'normal'.
You know that Dutch and Arabic throat sounds? You know that sound they make all of a sudden, like a choking camel? Well, to people who do not speak Germanic languages, Germanic languages also have such sounds, but do not imagine a choking camel, imagine a half retarded caveman trying to convey information to his tribe of half retarded cavemen, more with movements and pointing and shouty sounds than actual words.
>>61482420
>slavic languages don't sound like cavemen grunting
It sounds like arabian, shit is nasty.
>>61484463
Can you describe the sounds, or link a youtube video with information about the time of the grunting sounds?
>>61484463
North Germanic languages have no throaty sounds at all (except some dialects. The dialect in the OP is not representative of how all Norwegians sound.)
Does this really sound like caveman-speak to you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEscRzkY4o8

That one felt a bit clearer, but still felt like the girl is saying some letters much harder than other letters and I dont get why. Like she is hitting at certain sounds/letters much harder than some others. Sounded kinda fun but I am not sure why would people opt for speaking like that. It sounds a bit weird and unusual.
I listened it a second time and, you know when she says words that have heim in them, she says them all evenly, all sounds said with same intensity, but some other words, like stedet, she just says steda with a small a like its not even there, or sluttet, she says that middle T like its I dont know, much more important than all other sounds in the word.
That's just my take on it, I dont know what either one of that words mean, heim kinda sounds like home from English tho.
>>61484846
jeg mente ikke å hentyde til det
>I listened it a second time and, you know when she says words that have heim in them, she says them all evenly, all sounds said with same intensity, but some other words, like stedet, she just says steda with a small a like its not even there
You're referring to the Norwegian schwa sound (the upside-down e in the middle of the chart.) The vowel inventory of Norwegian is greater than that of Serbian so you might hear some vowels that don't directly correspond with anything in your language, so they might sound strange. "stedet" has a silent -t, so it's pronounced like "stede", and that last -e is unstressed so it's pronounced with a schwa sound. Native speakers don't even think about stuff like that, they just speak the language and it just werks.
>>61485214
Serbo-Croatian
>>61475143
Damn i like this song, moar ?
>>61485272
yes!! this is what I am talking about, you see these sounds? simple a e i o u, very simple, very easy to hear, very easy to say, a perfect way to transmit information from one person to another, no "schwa" or greek/hebrew/arabic symbols even needed to explain the sounds, no weird brackets or weird little triangles or lines over letters
see what I am talking about? see the clarity, the simplicity, the lack of grunting?
people over here would use those weird sounds with triangles and lines over letters only if they were mortally scared or something, people dont use such gruntings in a calm and normal everyday conversation, sure if a tiger is chasing after me I'd shout in those sounds, but never in a normal conversation

Is it just me or does this host speaks Norwegian in a really strange way? It's not how I know it and I don't like it. I prefer the "typical" Norwegian, which is simply beautiful in my opinion. Is this Bergen dialect or something?
>>61485353
it sounds like trash.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgFINp_knMY
>>61484973
There are stressed and unstressed syllables, and the "stedet" ends with an unstressed "e" which is pronounced as a schwa like the other person explains.
In "sluttet", there is a "long" consonant, like in many other languages. Finnish, for example, is known for their long consonants. In Norwegian, our long consonants aren't that long. Actually, Norwegian consonant length and vowel length are connected, and usually only vowel length is considered, because the length difference in consonants is so subtle. But it may be that you notice. Short vowels means long consonants, and long vowels means short consonants. You can see the long and short vowels in the vowel chart for Norwegian the other person posted.
An additional comment to that vowel chart, the schwa should probably be considered an allophone of short e, not an independent phoneme, and Norwegian as it is spoken would probably have to include short "æ" too, having entered the languages in the past few decades in words like "hacke", "campe", "caps" and some more.
>>61485525
She speaks dialect yes, Sunnmǿre dialect. You've probably heard Standard Eastern Norwegian in the past, like in the video in this post: >>61484672
>>61485578
Wait the chart actually does include the short æ. I just assumed it lacked because these charts always do.

>>61485578
>>61485672
and that's what I find so weird, this.. straining of your throat, to speak in everyday conversation
serbian doesnt have anything like it, in serbian you never have to strain your throat to produce any of the weird sounds, people use much more clear and simple sounds that are produced with ease, not relying on hard/soft/short/long sounds to say things
that's for talking only, in singing, its the complete opposite of that, while singing most singers will try to sound more melodic and try to reach for weirder sounds
>>61485906
>straining of your throat, to speak in everyday conversation
to a native speaker it's not straining at all. it feels completely natural to me to pronounce those vowels.
>>61480043
Sumerian is an Ural-Altaic language after all
>>61485982
well, strange is a wrong word, I guess I should say those are 'emotional' sounds, sounds you say when you are happy or sad or afraid and so on, it's how you imagine a caveman would speak, much less with what I would describe 'calm sounds', and much more with the 'emotional sounds' that germanics use on a daily basis much more
that's why serbs, poles, well actually everyone who speaks slavic, all slavic people call germans "nemci/niemci" which literally means "stupid/numb people" and with context, "people who have a trouble speaking (clearly, calmly)", they 'grunt' much more
a norwegian might speak to me very calmly about a topic such as.. i dont know, weather, and I would think he is describing to me something very upsetting/happy/sad/scary

I see serbian has voiced fricatives, lel and you talk about our language being hard to pronounce/straining
Voiced fricatives are literally the hardest sounds to make
>>61472641
fucking hot, can I meat her?
>>61485906
And this is why Serbo-Croatian (or Standard Slovenian for that matter) is boring af.
When I was getting into Norwegian I was really struck by variety of unexpected sounds. In my opinion it makes the language much more interesting.
I understand your opinion on the practicality of such phenomena. It's also not very practical that you have to write 4 letters in German to make the sound as a Slavic "č", doesn't it? But I suspect things like that are remnants of the earlier version of the language and the fact that written speech did not follow closely the evolution of the spoken language.

>have no clue what you are saying
>google it
>a symbol for this thing is literally a germanic letter
>serbian language has no examples of this thing you speak of
yep, never heard of this thing in serbian, just another "grunting" sound germanic/arabic/hebrew languages do
proofs in pic related is taken straight from the wiki, as you can see, both norwegian and swedish are in this, however serbian is not here, people here dont use the weird unclear retarded caveman dounds
>>61486476
Yeah. Earlier. Muuuuuch much earlier. This is how fucking illiterate rock to the head throwing imbeciles spoke. I was also struck by the "unexpected sounds", I was like "these fucking people speak like God damn savages".
If I saw it in a movie or something I would think this is some subsaharan African tribe speaking this bullshit. First association when I heard foreign languages was an African shaman throwing skulls and consulting with the fucking spirits on how many face scars should the tribe have next year.

Voiced fricatives, not voiced dental fricatives.
Letters like z, the sound in English fusion, stuff like this.
Norwegian has no real voiced fricatives. The example from the dialect they mention is an approximant.
>>61485906
This does not look simple to me
>>61486701
Ah, I see now, you're a shitposter. Sorry, I haven't read through your previous comments.
>>61471910
Poor man's Swedish.
As you can see above, our lanfuage is not demanding with intonation and stress (Serbo-Croatian)...and thisbis what makes Norwegian peculiar and tiresome for me. Swedish as well. The perky way you pronounce words. The pronunciation is not hard. Former-Yugoslavs can replicate many sounds so Norwegian pronunciation is not a problem
Even Russian is quite perky for us and we might have trouble with proper intonation
>>61486830
Language that uses that is "proto-balto-slavic" and a bumfuck nowhere accent of "Serbo-Croatian" which is a meme language to begin with.
I dont know who speaks this bullshit, this isnt Serbian I speak. "Shtokavian dialect", the fuck is even that thing?
>>61486972
When I speak Russian I tell to myself "how would I sing this?" and than I say it like it's a song and it ends up sounding how it's supposed to sound. When someone speaks Russian it kinda sounds like they are singing instead of talking.
>>61487091
Ma ubij se. Izgledaš glup. Ne znaš ništa
>>61487091
You don't know much, but at least you have your opinions.
>>61486830
My friend, you should read more on Chakavian, a Croatia dialect. It is an utter massacre. It employs a Serbo-Croatian grammar and a pitch system almost equal to Asian tones system lmao
Makes Norwegian a blessing, truly. Your language is beautiful, elegantly simple (at least the basics), compact, a bridge to all Scandinavian languages, with a kept Scandinavian vocabulary...
Swedish is tok "singy" and Danishbis just...Danish
like an ancient language, i was thinking before starting the video "it's going to sound just like german" but nope...
i would expect people to talk like that in a history channel show
>>61487091
Shtokavian is a dialectal basis for our language, Radomire
>>61487557
Eh, I dont know, I still think our language sounds the best, Germanic languages sound like retarded cavemen, and Romance languages sound like pretentious hipster gays with a postmodern art degree thingie.
>>61487667
Our language sounds brutish to them. Just to portray another perspective...
Have you ever heard Swedish? I recommend. It's singing embodied in a language
Romance languages have a flair, a passionate argument kind of tone, and Germanic ones sound explanatory and bookish/dry. Like instructions
Everyone has their view. I find Turkish quite nice. It is also melodic and without the occasional Arabic loanword, it would be even more pleasing
>>61487850
Your language sounds kinda brutish to me too desu. Only one sound each for E and O, most words stressed on the first syllable...it sounds very monotonous. It's good for rhyming exactly because of that, while it is impossible to rhyme in Slovenian without bending the rules of pronunciation a bit to sound more like Serbocroatian.

It sounds good. Would like to see her singing more songs in norwegian

Like Swedish but with a heavy accent.
I can't understand nynorsk at all though.

Alle skal kunne nynorsk!!

Very obviously germanic but more melodic than German.
It sounded like the man was saying "Flüchtlingskrise" at about 1:20 but pronounced differently and without the consonant shift.
>>61471910
It sounds like an autistic kid trying to speak English but just ends up babbling instead
>*brrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaspppppppppp*
>>61471910
like more nasal german
>>61471910
Pretty gay
>>61471910
danish is more aesthetic

You know English is Germanic, right?
>>61497626
>You know English is Germanic, right?
Actually, it's a hybrid language: half Germanic, half Romance.
>>61497656
No, it's Germanic.
>>61497706
Oh... perhaps you don't know what happened in 1066?

Here's me speaking fake Norwegian for y'all
>>61471910
Sounds like a combination of unintelligible English and French.
