i was looking at the old saxon language wiki page and the lexis is SO similar to dutch. i can understand some words without even looking at the translation

#rambling #this makes perfect sense considering they’re both germanic languages #but it’s very fun #seggian is to say in old saxon. and zeggen is the dutch word for it #same with flegian and vliegen #and there’s some words recognisable as english. like faran which means to travel #like ‘to fare’#awesome as FUCK
