A TREASURE TROVE OF ANCIENT EUROPEAN LANGUAGES
We have all heard of Ancient Greek and Latin. But there are numerous other ancient European languages with their own fascinating histories and often extensive literatures. From Norse sagas to the stories of Cyril and Methodius and the conversion of the Armenian king around 300AD, this course will give you a rare taste of what is out there from both a linguistic and literary perspective. It is a chance for some to connect with their own particular European heritage. There will be an overview of a different language each week for 8 weeks. The following languages will be covered: Linear B (Mycenaean Greek), Oscan/Umbrian, Hittite, Old Norse, Old Irish/Ancient Gaulish, Tocharian A/B, Old Church Slavonic and Classical Armenian.
