Not really. We don't use it at all here, but it's not hard to pronounce or anything.

Þ, þ, Ð, ð

Fucking Normans.

We have almost eliminated all special characters. We mostly stick to two letters making one sound now. Which is the most recognizable feat of our language.

Na een lekker eitje zeurt mijn maag ontzettend. Wat moet ik hieraan doen?

>>76920291
don't know

the "é" I guess, as it's used (or supposed to be used at least) in English for some loanwords like fiancée

and maybe the ç, as it appears in the very French name "François"

You also have that circumflex thingy. Turning letters into houses.

Carolingian was derived from insular lettering to begin with, though.

I wish we still used the seanchló. An Caighdeán Oifigiúil is a bastardisation of Irish.

>>76922020
it's a meme accent that exists mainly for the lulz, it doesn't even have a specific use

on a "e", it just changes the sound to a "è"

on "i" and "u" it doesn't do anything

on "o" it changes the sound to the Greek omega, or at least it's supposed to do so, but nowadays people just pronounce it like a regular "o"

on "a", it changes the sound a bit by making it, well, I don't know how to describe... "deep", maybe, but it's not really used anyway as people often associate this sound with you being some arrogant toff guy looking down on pleb

and in a lot of cases, for some strange reason, it indicates a change from an archaic version of a word... typically, "hospital" became "hôpital"

>>76921558
Seh ich zum ersten Mal.. wie neu ist das?

>>76922020

I think it marks where there used to be an 's' following it. So like forêt used to be forest. It actually makes a lot of words more recognizable when you realize.

I've been learning Icelandic and I have a question. I came across the word háhyrningur and it seemed like a compound word so I looked about on wiktionary, which said that há- is a prefix for shark-like animals and hyrningur means polygon. So am I missing something here or is your word for orca really "shark-like polygon"?

>>76920374
this is literally in the greek alphabet

>>76923278
Relativ neu. Ist schon seit längerer Zeit im Unicode enthalten, haben die da einfach mal hinzugefügt, weil man sich gedacht hat, irgendwann kommt das eh. Seit Ende Juni ist es offiziell Teil der deutschen Rechtschreibung.

>>76922101
>tfw you remember the rest of the world doesn't call February spring

>>76923659
If that was the case it would be háf.
há is "high", hyrningur refers to the fin.
So it's highfin directly translated..it sounds less retarded in Icelandic

>>76921558
What is it
It looks like a ß but different

>>76924183
It's the capital ß. Necessary for properly writing in all caps, e.g. on ID cards.

Until now, the miniscule ß was used in ID cards (e.g. WEIß) which looks ugly. In normal texts, ß was replaced by double s in all caps (e.g. GROSS). Now there's a capital version. WEIẞ GROẞ

>>76924183
Capital eszett, never actually used in real life.
