What Old Norse Sounded Like

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.

This is modern islandic language, the sound is from "víkingar" by Steindinn Okkar, a comedy show of tv from islandic television. (Sorry by my english, not is my mother language). (Search if you want "steidindinn okkar - víkingar)

This is the sound of modern Icelandic. Old Norse did not sound like modern Icelandic.

The pronunciation is hodiern icelandic combines with hodiern faroese.
Old norse phonetic is more gutural, slow and clear, vikings are tactical, strategical, reflexives, opportunists, the phonetics its other.
