Link to this page: Originally posted by:I'm Dutch and we still use this, in English almost forgotten, word. We write it as 'zalig' with the a pronounced as the last a in 'mama' and the g as, the hard Dutch, ggg.It means something feeling very good or tasting very good. Also the pope can declare someone zalig, that's something between an ordinary person and a saint.The Dutch zalig is pretty much the German ' Seelig '.
Same meaning, almost same pronouncation.btw, how it is pronounced differs from dialect to dialect. Anglosaxon language was barbarized form of latin mixed with north german (saxonic) words. That meaning, I'm preety sure that it's pronounced 'Selig' with S spelled similar to Spelled or like Z(it's depending on the accent), E spelled exacly like ae/ or A with umlaut in German, L spelled like reaLLy, I spelled like english 'ee' and G spelled like geoGrafy.I'm preety sure that it's hard to spell to someone with 'soft' languages (romance mostly), because it mostly utilizes germanic character spellings, with ae digraf working exacly like E/A with umlaut in germanic languages. The way the OP is treating 'g' reminded me of Irish as well. The language spoken by the people in this game would be influenced by thousands of years of interactions between various Celtic peoples, Gauls, etc. Then you have the waves of invasions from the Angles and Saxons and that lot.
It's not unreasonable to suggest a weird sounding 'g' at the end of a word might wind up in the Eastern Lowlands of Britain.The OP's YouTube link of Old English is the best evidence I've seen yet but my mind still hears 'say-lig' when I read the word.I can't think of any language that isn't an excellent example of how messed up words and sounds and meanings can be (even Esperanto). I'm quite sure all of the people in the Dark Ages couldn't agree on how every word was pronounced either.Now I'm wondering, does literacy contribute to this problem?
In an oral culture, you can only know a word by hearing it spoken. Avid readers are often attrocious at pronunciation.Of course, the best response was the very first response.
