Distribution of the dative case in Scandinavian dialects.

Similar to my earlier maps, feel free to ask questions! My sources are different books in .pdf form (mostly Ivar Aasen), personal experience, Swedish language sites and similar.

I know many of you wanted a map over "not", but that's hard and complicated! And I want to do it properly. (Dialects languages that have two forms are the main reason. Icke-Inte, Itt-Int, Ikkje-Inkje).

Der Tat ihr Ort: Der Saar ihre Brücken

Das fleißige Lieschen

Dem Wald sein Herr

Der Schlange ihr Herz

Der Erde ihre Kälte

Dem Geld sein Fluch

also speaking of latin in les mis this one's fun asdkjfhjsda

non licet omnibus adire Corinthum ("not everyone may get to Corinth") -> version (from at least the 17th century afaict, Hugo didn't invent it) of a line from Horace Epistles 1.17.36: non cuivis homini contingit adire Corinthum ("it doesn't come to pass that every man gets to Corinth") -- which then makes for a Really terrible pun here where omnibus, "everyone", also means literally the type of vehicle "an omnibus" and Corinthum rather than meaning "the city of Corinth" means. the wine shop the Corinthe. lmao.

the latin brainworms returned for a brief moment last night so i assigned grammatical cases to the lifers based on absolutely nothing

[velaraffricate]

i alternate between more worldbuilding and more conlang heavy phases and whenever i enter back into a conlanging phase the autism just kicks into overdrive its all i can think about i already have so many ideas. i was thinking word order could start out as VSO. then S/O verb agreement evolves thru pronouns becoming suffixes. the subject now gets fronted, > SVO. one daughter language could then evolve topic marking, fronting the object when it's the topic, > OSV. now in sentences where the S is the topic the O retains its position before the verb, > SOV, the new default. maybe this change could also trigger prepositions to become postpositions. no idea how naturalistic this would be but its an idea

So there's this really cool thing Spanish does with pronouns. I'll try to explain (I'm no linguist, so feel free to correct me!).

Pronouns can be used as an accusative to mark the direct object of an action, as in "me bañe y me vestí" ("I showered and dressed myself"), or in "te beso" ("I kiss you"). Simple enough, right? It's your standard accusative personal pronouns.

But here's the thing. They can also be used as dative when the action concerns someone even though they may not be its direct object. For example, you can say "se rompió" ("it broke [itself]"), which is an accusative, but you can also add a dative and say "se me rompió" ("it broke [itself] [on me]"). You could very well imagine, then, a mother warning their children "¡Se me van a matar si siguen brincando así!" ("You're gonna kill yourself [on me] if you keep jumping up and down like that!"). You could even say, so as to mark a personal affection for the action's direct object, "no se me ponga a llorar" ("don't you start crying on me").

Alright. But you can take that a step forward. If your partner is looking particularly cute when going out, you could tell them "estás tan guapo que se te me van a robar" ("you're so cute they are gonna steal you from me").
