I can read it. :) But I also spent most of a semester studying the language. Luther was writing in Frühneuhochdeutsch: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%BChneuhochdeutsch The English version of the article is a little better, since it actually gives side by side examples like you gave: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_New_High_German German was still in flux between Middle High and New High. And printing houses didn't standardize on a single orthography for some time. But between Gutenberg & Luther, standardization occured quite rapidly. It appears there's no ISO 639-3 code for Fnhd. I'll draw up a change request to see if we can get a new code. If not, we should add a subtag to the language of GerLut1545 to separate it from the real Nhd. material. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
