One Nice Thing: Lexicity, Learning Ancient Languages (Including Old Norse!)
If you have been looking for sources to learn ancient languages, check out Lexicity, “The first and only comprehensive index for ancient language resources on the internet.”
The resources for each language vary. They are organized into categories: Dictionaries, Grammars, Charts and Aids, Texts, and Other Resources. I went through the links for the Old Norse page. The quality of some of the Other Resources is . . . variable, but the technical resources will give you a good start on learning the language, and most of them are free to access.
The available languages are:
- Akkadian
- Arabic
- Aramaic
- Church Slavonic
- Coptic
- Egyptian (hieroglyphics and Demotic)
- Elamite
- Ethiopic (Ge’ez)
