      this latin textbook is forty chapters and they may as well have titled each one "and here's a new set of inflections"

      I guess a bonus is this makes learning any romance language trivial

      After a week or so, I found I could make myself understood in Italy by speaking Latin with a Hollywood gangster accent. Almost always worked. But, insight into how English works may be more significant. English is Viking-talk with a Latin overlay.

      If you want to learn pre-Christian Germanic law, Anglo-Saxon or Icelandic could be helpful. And then you can read Beowulf. Ða com of more under misthleoþum Grendel gongan, Godes yrre bær; mynte se manscaða manna cynnes sumne besyrwan in sele þam hean.

      more specifically I'm interested in frankish material, for instance law codes formalized under their aegis and how those changed over time

          aside from just the fact that I love the franks theirs was really interesting because it was the oldest written without heavy roman influence

          the burgundians and visigoths were older but very pwned by latin memes and neither lasted very long (to thus serve as a basis for evolving society) anyway

          but the franks practiced polycentric law and one of the first things they did when conquering any other tribe was get them to commit their customary law to writing

          the whole thing is this fascinating (well for me) like, alt-society, like it's the basis of our entire culture but its values and worldview are utterly alien

          Yes… that’s the fascination of the North-Germanic (Icelandic, Norse, Anglo-Saxon) stuff as well. That it’s incredibly alien, but also strangely familiar. Tolkien’s fascination with that queer mixture led to the LotR, apparently

          The earliest Anglo-Saxon material comes from just the time of the switch over from pagan values to Christianity, and it expresses the confusion that engendered.
