Old Norse, Old Nordic, or Old Scandinavian is a stage of development of North Germanic dialects before their final divergence into separate Nordic languages. Old Norse was spoken by inhabitants of Scandinavia and their overseas settlements and chronologically coincides with the Viking Age, the Christianization of Scandinavia and the consolidation of Scandinavian kingdoms from around the 7th to the 15th centuries.The Proto-Norse language had developed into Old Norse by the 8th century, and Old Norse began to develop into the modern North Germanic languages in the mid-to-late 14th century, ending the language phase known as Old Norse. These dates, however, are not absolute, since written Old Norse is found well into the 15th century.Old Norse was divided into three dialects: Old West Norse or Old West Nordic (often referred to as Old Norse), Old East Norse or Old East Nordic, and Old Gutnish. Old West Norse and Old East Norse formed a dialect continuum, with no clear geographical boundary between them. For example, Old East Norse traits were found in eastern Norway, although Old Norwegian is classified as Old West Norse, and Old West Norse traits were found in western Sweden. Most speakers spoke Old East Norse in what is present-day Denmark and Sweden. Old Gutnish is sometimes included in the Old East Norse dialect due to geographical associations. It developed its own unique features and shared in changes to both other branches.The 12th-century Icelandic Gray Goose Laws state that Swedes, Norwegians, Icelanders, and Danes spoke the same language, dǫnsk tunga ("Danish tongue"; speakers of Old East Norse would have said dansk tunga). Another term was norrœnt mál ("northern speech"). Today Old Norse has developed into the modern North Germanic languages Icelandic, Faroese, Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish, of which Norwegian, Danish and Swedish retain considerable mutual intelligibility while Icelandic remains the closest to Old Norse.

Hi,
I'll be moving in to my first house soon which was built in 1890 from stone. The bathroom is currently downstairs in an extension. Looking to move this upstairs in to the small bedroom.

Evening all,
Quick question on priming old walls. Original plaster is in reasonable condition, some minor imperfections etc.

So I have two new quotes and I'm a tiling virgin so want to be prepared for what to expect. Any tips on the subfloor prep is much appreciated. I'm panicking about making a mistake or drastically underestimating the time required to prep.

I appreciate that the round notched trowels give better coverage (primarily as...

Hi everyone
Long shot I know, but trying to help a customer out sourcing some tiles. I'm pretty sure its either the Pilkingtons Roma 250x200 Light Peach (ROM70) or the Light Cream (ROM30) which were used by house-builders such as Persimmon, Redrow, David Wilson and Barratts in the late 1990's...
