The pronoun "I" in traditional Scandinavian dialects

by jkvatterholm

I've aimed for this map to show the traditional area around 1900. It is similar in many ways still today, but some areas have shrunk a lot. Many Danes do no longer speak the genuine dialects for example, instead speaking standard Danish (incl. "jeg") with a local accent. This was starting already then of course, but on a much smaller scale. For example, Læsø, Djursland and Århus had already begun to move away from a at the time.

The spelling in the info should be close enough that IPA is not needed.

I've used tons of sources from this, including maps from regions or countries, trying to stitch them together and fill in any holes and correct discrepancies.

I can not separate forms with and without the final consonant (ja/jag) because that's impossible. Almost half the dialects may use both, depending on if the word is emphasised, on the end of a sentence or followed by a vowel etc.

Some spoken samples:

"ieg" in South-West Inland of Norway. (Press the speaker icon)

"i" area of Norway by Sweden.

Icelandic "ég" being pronounced "jeg".

Southern "i" area of Sweden.

Northern "i" area of Sweden.

The "je/ji" area besides it.

"je" on Swedish/Norwegian border.

Southern "æ" area of Denmark

Northern Jutland, Denmark

"e(g)" from Western Norway

"e" from Eastern Norway.

In standard languages:

Proto-Norse: ᛖᚲ (ek), ᛖᚲᚨ (eka)

Old Swedish: iak, iæk, iægh

Swedish: jag

Old Norse: ek, ec

Faroese: eg

Bokmål: jeg

Nynorsk: eg

Icelandic: ég

Old Danish: iak, iæk, iægh, æk, ak

Standard Danish: jeg

Yesterday I posted an infographic about how metathesis changed words in the Germanic languages. Metathesis is the interchange of two sounds within a word, like in to ax /æks/ vs. to ask /æsk/. Today, let's have a look at the same phenomenon in some of the Romance languages.

jeg er begyndt at date en fyr her for lidt over en måned siden, og på en af vores første dates blev vi lidt fulde og sad spurgte hinanden om wackass spørgsmål a la “hvad er dit yndlings dyr og hvorfor”, og lige siden har jeg udelukkende drunktextet ham billeder af odder som var hans svar på ^^

eksempel:

æk fortæl mig at jeg ikke er en romantiker

[christineforevigt]

har fået en masse bagervagter i sommerferien

The pronoun "I" in North Germanic languages.

by jkvatterholm

The Proto Norse form was "ek" and "eka".

In the form "eka" the e split into "ja", making the pronouns in the norse period be "jak" and "ek" in standardised spelling. "Jak" was common in the east, as seen on the map. In Icelandic as well it was "ek". The change to "jeg" there is newer, also appearing in words like "fé" being /fjɛː/ and not /fɛː/.

The "je" form has also expanded a lot westwards. In Jämtland forms like "ek" seems to have been in use in the 18th century, while gone now. In urban dialects in western Norway it is expanding even today.

"Ek/eg" has not remained unchanged in Norway either. Some places have had a diphthongizationit into "eig" while others have turned into an "æg". With or without the g. Some even just say "I".

Dalarne in Sweden are worth mentioning, especially because of the Elfdalian dialect there using "ig".

In Jutland as well the breaking into "ja" never took place. In the middle ages forms like "æk" and "ak" existed, now being "a" and some places "æ".

Some examples of the word in use:

"Je" - Jämtland, Sweden.

"Je" - Ringerike, Norway.

"Eg" - Hordaland, Norway.

Various, Nothern Sweden.

"Ig" - Älvdalen, Sweden.

"Æ" - South Jutland, Denmark.

"Ei" - Sunnmøre, Norway.

"Æ" - Trøndelag, Norway.

"Jeg/ég" - Iceland

"Eg" - Faroe Islands

My own transcription under the cut with an improved Scots orthography which also allows for the fact that the song is partially in English

She’s lent her back against a æk Aa alone an alone-ei-o She’s pushd an she’s pushd til her back’s neir bræk Doun in the bonnie greenwoodside-ei-o

She’s læt her head against a thorn Aa alone and alone-ei-o Two bonniest babies ever were born Doun in the bonnie greenwoodside-ei-o

Everyone here who cares at all about traditional song ought to listen to Lizzie Higgins, a Traveller from Highland Aberdeenshire who has several albums of some of the best renditions of Scots traditional songs I've ever heard, all in an unaccompanied and highly decorated style. Some of the most moving material I've ever heard in the anglo tradition, up there with Berzilla Wallin.

My transcription under the cut, with apologies for my poor Scots orthography.

jeg ville ønske mænd der havde en snert af en SoMe presence (eller ser Porno) betød fængselsstraf. de bruger det forkert…. De blir reelt delusional og misinformeret om at de er den lækreste mand på jorden og kan score tilfældige Instamodeller. de glemmer hvordan rigtige mennesker ser ud i dagligdagen og kalder smukke mennesker for grimme. har du set dig selv. shit påvirker mig. hvis en Dood følger flotte piger selvom de har en stor following og det er bare fordi de er bloggere eller har fedt tøj på i ny og næ så du weird og har misforstået noget. og du lyver overfor dig selv. Bring back men der faktisk kan lide deres partnere. min ekskærestes startside var tynde hvide piger og graffiti og jeg lod ham overbevise mig at jeg var usikker og overreagerede, fordi jeg blev rørt af det. jeg spurgte flere gange pænt om at han ikke ville lade vær, især fordi han havde en offentlig profil mine venner sagtens kunne finde. sagde det endda meget undskyldende. Jeg fik det så skidt og havde overvældende dårlig samvittighed for at synes det. “cool chill gf” der også kigger på lækre damer sammen med en. shit jeg ignorerede var bare ham der var en nar. jeg gir ikke en fåk skulle ha fået ham til at trykke unfollow på alle han ikke kendte personligt / han havde bollet. og tilfældigvis var det kun tiltrækkende tideligere veninder han fulgte. og sån kun en hjemmedreng fra hans provinsby. Boy, jeg ved du æk snakker med dem længere og ikke har tænkt at række ud nogensinde igen. why u need to look at them…. mænd elsker at have en plan B. for mig er det dem foran mig, og de skinner så meget jeg ikke kan se andre omkring dem. Baseret på deres profiler kunne jeg reelt gætte mig frem til hvem han havde kneppet. Han var en bitch og er heldigvis helet og jeg håber ikke jeg kommer til at trygle og være på knæ (bogstaveligt talt) for at en fuckin mand lytter til mig og validerer mig. nu var jeg slet hellere ikke værdsat intellektuelt eller fysisk eller andet af ham, så det skubbede sikkert også narrativet hah. Anyways “alle mennesker smukke” er en scam og en svigtet måde vi har behandlet problemet på. ultimativt endemål er at se på kroppen som en krop. jeg behøves ikke at være pæn, og det gør min mave hellere ikke. mine ar er ikke smukke, de er legit bare ar. Og de klør nogle gange. jeg har brug for en cleanse, jeg har ikke brug for at blive beskuet. jeg vil begynde kun at følge folk jeg kender og kreative sider og mennesker der inspirerer mig kreativt og ka agere som muse. tryk. Unfollow noget mere . jeg gør det hver dag. jeg bør slette Tik tok det er lidt visende og et faresignal at hvis jeg scroller mere end 15 min på den gudsforladte App så får jeg en meget specifik hovedpine. ligesom når jeg spiller Minecraft loll
