@@Bjarkigd1 Thanks! Guess Scotland has had its share of hotheads.

Why would you think the term to come from Latin in the first place? It doesn't even look latinate. The etymology is from Proto-Germanic *smiþaz, ends up as part of 𐌰𐌹𐌶𐌰𐍃𐌼𐌹𐌸𐌰 in Gothic for example (aizasmiþa, meaning coppersmith, we don't have enough Gothic available to see just the word smith alone outside of a compound. The first bit 'aiz' is cognate with 'ore' in English interestingly enough)

look up "The twa sisters"

Hallo!

Norwegian

Faroese

To me it sounds like a Færøyerne version of Norwegian. There is a bit of Danish in the spelling here and there.

Have you ever seen a comment section when Norway is mentioned!?

@@kristianstrm2375 do i need to, since i live in Norway...?

Don't know why you say that. The Norwegians sing this song too.This event is famous, and its memory is held in Norway.

@@bethkolle1 phh hahaha when do WE sing this song, eh?? i live in Norway, and i never heard this crap of ya.. yeeze... get real lol

Haha i am from faroe😂

Dette har veldig, veldig lite med Danmark å gjøre. Det er en norsk sang, sunget av færøyinger, om skotter som gikk i land i Norge for å dra i krig for svensker.

I think if i’m right sverker the 1st who wrote a letter to the danish king to avoid a bloody war but he was assassinated during christmas service around 1156 so the song is about Engelbrektsson?

Look up the "Völsunga saga"

Völsung was the name of the son of Rerir. He was the progenitor of the legendary Völsung line. The original Old Norse name is rendered as Volsungr. I haven't been able to find any etymological dissection of the name. "Ungr" means young, obviously, but I'm unsure about Völs. It might come to "Young Vols", but even then, the interpretation is a bit tenuous.

One interpretation for "Vols" given in the Nordic Names wiki is "chosen". So "Young Chosen" would be the meaning of Volsungr, but I'm unsure.

@@tamerofhorses2200 Has Jackson Crawford translated Volsung yet? I'm not sure. If not, I'm sure I can find some other people to ask.

It has nothing to do with whales or songs, being chosen or being young. The -ungr is a clan suffix, meaning 'descendant of'. It's equivalent to the Shieldings (Old Norse Skjǫldungar, Old English: Scyldingas), the descendants of a man named Shield (ON Skjǫldr, OE Scyld). So the Walsings (as is the English form of the name, from Old English Wælsingas, compare Old Norse Vǫlsungar) are originally the descendants of a man named Wals (Old Norse Vǫlsi 'rod, phallos'). In the Old Norse tradition the founder of the clan’s name has changed to Vǫlsungr, but this must be a back-formation from the clan name Vǫlsungar, and the cognate of his original name is attested as Wæls in Beowulf.

What would you compare a faroese accent to?

@@user-nr2kb3mw8i a Norwegian one probably. The lyrics are in Norwegian.

@@Vingul The lyrics are in pure Danish, though it's being pronounced according to Faroese rules by the singers. "løbe" is certainly not Norwegian.

@@germanicgems it’s Norwegian Rigsmaal. Obviously very similar to Danish as written Danish was enforced in Norway. Some Norwegians wrote for instance «løbe» well into the 1900s, for example Knut Hamsun.

​@@Vingul This was written long before Rigsmaal, in 1781, when the official written language of Norway, as you said, was Danish. Which means this is literally written Danish. Or am I writing in Swedish now because I'm sitting in Sweden? No. Everything about the language in this song apart from the pronunciation is Danish; grammar, spelling, the words used. And that makes it Danish.

?

Hvem?

@@Snoffles Det var under Kalmarkrigen, hvor Danmark og Norge kæmpede mod Sverige. Svenskerne havde hyret en skotsk lejesoldathær, som skulle slutte sig til den svenske længere nede i landet, men skottehæren blev nedkæmpet af de norske bønder, som sendte de få fanger de tog til København :)

Dette er jo helt likt som norsk (bokmål), ingen forskjell.

@@daginn896 somewhere inbetween norwegian and icelantic

@@barbarannop1799 Haha no, this is identical to Norwegian bokmål.

@@daginn896 I know, obviously. But I meant the faroese language.

@@barbarannop1799 ahh oki, then yes

Moor/heat landscape

The connection is with the word 'Heath' meaning open country or uncultivated land. Thus a 'heathen' is a person who subsists from such [aside from later Christian context] The meaning however still holds, since a 'heathen' is anyone one living outside the church influence, in this way they can be assumed to be doing 'witchcraft'.

@@vil4038 'De kommer vel over den hede' This makes more sense in the idea of a 'hede land' rather than body part.

Heather. Moor.

It's like Dutch "heide". Heathland.

The Scotsmen were on the way to Sweden to fight in the Baltic theatre. Whether one calls that an invasion is personal discretion.

@@0MVR_0 It's an invasion by definition of course, but you're right

@@0MVR_0 2

i realize it is kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?

@Jorge Rene thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I appreciate it !!

Probably, can't say I've heard it though

@@Bjarkigd1 Where did you find this one?

@@HrafnVidar The local radio made a bunch of records back in the day, those records have ended up on a bunch bootleg cd's and such that I've got my hands on.

@@Bjarkigd1 That's actually really interesting! I don't suppose these recordings could be found anywhere on the internet?

@@HrafnVidar All my videos are part of those recordings, there are a bunch more, but mostly just small snippets

That was probably the point. To keep rhythm among the rovers. Vikings probably sang songs like this to keep tempo.

The culture with them now at least is Traditional Faroese Dancing, where we all hold hands and walk to steps left, and one step right. until we're done.

Nei

You should Return to you fatherland

True Norwegians see us all as a nation no matter where you live, we are the most traveling people on earth and has twelve million of us outside of Norge, which was called vik and was north germania and considered the end of the world. Norwegian is a word which is strange to us nordmenn

@@HeathenRides so would you consider faroese people norwegian?

@@barbarannop1799 its the same People, it was no one Else there when they came. So i consider them as the same People and wouldnt object if they where called nordmenn to (we dont say Norwegian) but its kinda like an extension and they been away so Long and developed so many own customs and stuff, so i consider them as same, but most of the ones living now have never been in norway so its a difficult question. I consider them as the exact same People atleast

@@snuurferalangur4357 Det er beviselig feil. Selv sagalitteraturen vitner om en norsk nasjonalitet på 1300-tallet i den grad man kan snakke om nasjonaliteter på den tiden. Det vil si, verken mer eller mindre enn hva dansk nasjonalfølelse var på den samme tiden. Viken var periodevis under Danmark, periodevis autonom, og periodevis under Norge.

Andre kan ikke gøre det, vi må tage ansvaret på os selv - og håbe andre følger trop når vi fremviser!
