     Good job! It doesn’t directly translate well (no W or K in Ogham obv) but people should get the idea now lol.

   Had to take a second to remember the fact that there are actually multiple languages present and everyone just doesn’t english for the sake of the audience.

     Yeah, I hope it’s working all right! The idea is the dialogue appears “English” if it’s one the POV character understands. The POV can change per panel so I hope it doesn’t get too confusing.

       shunka’s says, “Thank iou AIþelwulf.” My response was, “Þu eart wilcume,” which is “You’re welcome,” in Eald Englisc.

         Æþelwulf –
         Your Esoteric and Obscure Ancient Language-Fu is clearly Superior!

         I had to resort to translations of the various Nordic and Finnish Sagas
         and gave up on Beowulf in the original…

   Ibrahim speaks so many languages, but apparently not this one. I think he is going to rectify that very soon.

     Yeah he has less exposure to Celtic languages! But he’ll get there someday.

   I like this graphic portrayal of Gaelic as one of the most Gibberish languages on Earth 😀

   No offence meant, Gaelic has wonderful sonorities and is fashinating, but very hard to be understood and spoken, if you don’t know it well ^_^ .
