Riot, is this our first taste of the/a Freljordian dialect?
I'm a linguistics and art student and I definitely found some Nordic influences in it (Danish, Swedish, a bit of Norwegian) upon several listens. I know that some Freljordian terms come from Norse and a few proto-Germanic phrases and words, and we all know of course that the Freljord is very Viking / Norse themed.
Will a transcript be coming out of the song, since we got the written form of it in in English? A lot of the words actually sounds akin to their English counterparts if you listen closely, and base the words on the shared placement of Ornn within each stanza and in the song (although this makes sense, because English is a member of the Western Germanic language tree, which also includes Dutch and German as well as others like Yiddish and Afrikaans, which in turn is related to the Northern Germanic tree comprised of Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic and Faroese). I'm also wondering if this is a whole new language y'all came up with over there in Los Angeles like they did for Avatar or Fifth Element or Atlantis, or if you simply bastardized several Germanic languages?
This is a topic that interests me so I'd be very interested in hearing back from your (linguistics?) department.
