Languages.


Anglo-Saxon usually spoke Old English, which is good because Iman and I primarily speak English. Old English is close to Germanic languages.

This is how you can speak Old English

Common Verbs
1. Say "art" instead of "are," as in, "Art thou coming?"

2. Use "dost" instead of "do," as in "Dost thou play cricket?"

3.Say "hath" in place of "has" as in, "Hath she any bread?"

4. Add the endings "est" to many verbs. For instance, you might say, "Needest thou some assistance?"

Pronouns
1.Use the terms "thee," "thou" or "ye," instead of "you," as in, "Thou must visit soon."

2. Say "thy" or "thine" instead of "your" or "yours," as in, "It is thy responsibility."

3. Replace "I" with "me" in certain subject-verb combinations, such as, "Methinks thou art rude."
