- Thorkel has a way with words and for the first of his videos he will educate us on the lesser known, but more used in the viking age, Younger Futhark. See the letters and hear the sounds, and maybe even you can learn to sound out the words written on the ancient Rune stones scattered around Scandinavia.

This was fantastic, thank you!!
"Tyr is missing one of its arms." I see what you did there.
;)
Younger Futhark is quite a bit more complicated than Elder Futhark, but both are fascinating! Thank you for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
If you wish to know about the younger futhark, you need to read Else Roesdahl Papers on them. Once discounted as a decadent form, it was Dah's work that put the that they were a traders short hand. A truncated steno like version, rather than a lesser version.

I can get most of the changes that were done when they simplified the runic alphabet and created the younger futhark. However, I still don't understand why the younger futhark didn't keep the Dagaz, Pertho, Gebo and the Ehwaz runes for /d/, /p/, /g/ and /e/. It's kind of making things more complicated. I've also heard that the rune yr made an /y/ vowel sound too. Is that true?
Yea, I was thinking, where are the Runes for the D and G etc, it is incomplete - the first Runic system is way better!
Short twig is much easier to carve
🤷🏻♂️️
Can you help me i need to make 4 bands in younger futhark runes. Can you tell me words for War, warrior, life, love, peace, eternity, chaos, and destruction. It would mean so much to me and help me out so much I'm not educated on thr younger futhark and i only have 4 days to make these 4 bands
You are supposed to be pronouncing Fé as “Fje” (pronounced as the word “fee” with an eh at the end”)
Same with all words that have au in them, which are actually pronounced as öy/øy.
Also the “Ó” in Óss, should be pronounced as how you would pronounce the letter “O” in modern English.
The “Á” Ár is supposed to be pronounced as the expression “ah” and “ooh” combined together like “ah-ooh-“.
The double L ending (ll) in “Hagall” should be pronounced as the letters “T” and “L” at the same time. Like if you try saying it fast, then you will get a sound similar to the “ch” in the word “child” only it sounds like someone’s trying to say it with a lisp. That’s at least how you should pronounce it, from the reference point of how it is pronounced in Icelandic, which is the language that is the most similar to Old Norse. It is so identical in fact, it’s considered a dialect off of Old Norse, not a separate language.
No, that’s the Modern Icelandic pronunciation - in Old Norse, é is pronounced e, not ye / je, and the ö letter does NOT exist in Old Norse, it is an ǫ in Old Norse which is pronounced o!
The AU in Old Norse is pronounced EU or EI, not OI - that’s the Modern Icelandic pronunciation!
