Talk:Þeodiscland

RFV
Did the Anglo-Saxons really use this word to refer to Germany? It seems unlikely because as far as I know even the Germans didn't call their country that at the time... —CodeCat 10:10, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * See w:ang:Gesprec:Þēodscland. Shortly said, Þeodiscland is a modern word. - -sche 04:04, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That certainly doesn't help with WT:CFI. Is Old English actually practised at a native or near native level anymore? Mglovesfun (talk) 11:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Is that relevant? Incoherant or idiosyncratic usage should be rejected, native level or no, and language that is successfully being used to communicate should be recorded, even if it's almost unreadable to anyone not familiar with (say) Tanzanian English. If Þeodiscland is being used as a word in CFI-eligible publications, then it should be good, native or not. Of course, I don't know of anyone publishing Old English, which is going to be the hurdle to get over.--Prosfilaes 18:40, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
