They aren't saying they speak Old Norse, but a unique (and somewhat older) Norse tongue.

When the Nordic Council becomes the Nordic Federation, I hope they re-invent Old Norse as New Norse as the official language of the Federation.

I think we pretty much know the differences between Old Western Norse and Old Eastern Norse through the texts of that languages that were preserved.

Is Greek / Roman / Norse mythology (basically everything Western that isn't Christianity) not considered religion?

If Norse wanted to make this data useful, they'd present it as a CSV, too.

It has as much to do with Norse mythology as Diablo has with tabletop RPGs.

With Icelandic and Faroese related to Western Old Norse whilst Swedish descends from Eastern.

This would imply that Älvdalska would be related to Eastern Old Norse - hence not totally unique but still of great interest.

> because they speak an unique old Norse tongue They don't speak Old Norse, they simply didn't take part in as many changes as in Swedish.

I'd conclude that the map is not really meant to actually provide real threat warnings, but rather a way to see into what the Norse Intelligence Service is capable of monitoring.

I've always been more fascinated with the old norse religion than its runes.

Wasn't Old Norse divided into Eastern and Western?

The famous disclaimer "for entertainment purposes only" comes to mind, but in reality I think the Norse Map is just a really neat and sort-of functional advertisement for the capabilities of Norse.

Their homepage says "Norse Tracks over 200,000 tor exit nodes".

I'm going to be a bit pedantic, but wrt to this part: > because they speak an unique old Norse tongue They don't speak Old Norse Note that "old" in the original quote isn't capitalized.

The Norse Map used to have a little "about" section that explained how the map is a general aggregation of data and designed to show at a very high level what is going on, but doesn't provide any deep insight into each attack.

I've only had a few courses about Old Norse, that were mainly about Old West Norse, so I'm not really an expert in this topic.

Old Gutnish is usually seen as an additional dialect of Old Norse.

Norse Corp, the ones that make the map, has offices in St.
