Terminological chaos
editHello! While the classification here seems to be the most common, I have also been able to find sources using Old Danish to refer to what is here called Middle Danish (see wiktionary:Old Danish), although these do not have linguistics as their primary topic. Worse yet, it seems that, over at Wiktionary, we are using Old Danish in this latter sense (see wiktionary:Category:Old Danish lemmas for examples), constituting a contradiction. Can someone confirm that one taxonomy is standard/significantly more common than the other?__Gamren (talk) 16:07, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Gamren: The periodisation of the Scandinavian languages is a perennial quandary (that I recall discussing with people not too long ago), but as far as I can determine, Old Danish is usually considered to be approximately parallel with Old Swedish and Old Norwegian, so would refer to the language of the 13th and 14th centuries. Before this period, I'd speak of the Danish dialect of Old East Norse, or Runic Danish. But this issue is better discussed somewhere else, like WikiProject Languages; nobody will find your question here except accidentally. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 22:28, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- I would suggest using the periodization of Brøndum-Nielsen: "Old Danish" 800 AD to 1525; subdivided into "Runic Danish" (800-1100), "Early Middle Danish" (1100-1350) and "Late Middle Danish" (1350-1525).·maunus · snunɐɯ· 08:08, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
