Language
13 December, 2008
So while doing some grammatical criticism on a passage from the Gospel of Mark in preperation for my final, I found myself wishing once again that I already spoke some Koine. So I started thinking about language, because frankly exegesis is kind of boring, and trying to enumerate my languages.
Languages in which I am theoretically fluent: English, French
Dialects of the above which I can read to varying degrees: Middle English, Norman, Anglo-Norman, Scots (if you consider it a dialect of English)
Languages of which I have some knowledge/are learning: Biblical Hebrew, Latin, Icelandic, Scots (if you consider it a distinct Germanic language)
Languages in which I possess some rudiments: German, Koine Greek
Languages of interest: Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, Scottish Gaelic, Portuguese
I think it’s quite the list.
