Comparing languages. Examples [gothic-l]

[keth at ONLINE.NO]

Hi Cory!
Thank you for your response. But from what you write (below) it
appears as if you didn't have the great "aha" experience.
I suppose I made the mistake of explaining too much. Bairisch is
of course irrelevant. Below I have Dutch-German instead as example.
The point is that people just LOOK at the texts !!!    :)

I repeat the two examples again. The point is just to compare. Keth.

Example 1.
Dutch text (Nederlands):
Vandaag heb ik de gehele dag getypt; toch ben ik niet vermoeid
omdat ik ook een wandeling gedaan heb.  (sample text of 18 words)

German translation of Dutch text:
Heute habe ich den ganzen Tag getippt; doch bin ich nicht müde
weil ich auch eine Wanderung getan habe.

Example 2.
Old Gutnish text:
Gutland hitti fyrsti maðr þann sum þjelvar hít. þá var
Gutland sá elvist at þet dagum sank ok nátum var uppi.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Icelandic translation of Old Gutnish text:
Gotland hitti fyrstr maðr sá sem þjalfarr hét. þá var 
Gotland sá ?elvist at þat dOgum sOkk ok nóttum var uppi.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
