Thistil Mistil Kistil
by Sarah Schanze
Velkommen!
Thistil Mistil Kistil is a comic about vikings, Norse gods, and their adventures together (or against each other). Updates are on Thor’s Day.
Coal is going to have to keep his Loki’s true nature under wraps more and more.
Them silly Norwegians.
Oh dear… looks like I´m going to have something in my eye when the next strip goes online.
Mwahahaha maybe.
What? Everyone doesn’t speak common? A convenience in role-playing games both tabletop and computer, and yet utterly fictional. Even “Linga Franca” wasn’t universal, and Latin was for churchmen.
Yeah, I hope the different languages, and whether they’re “translated,” make sense here! Thankfully I have a good friend who can help me with the speech style (mostly the Gaelic this time).
Saoirse (pronounced: seer-shuh)
Goddamnit Celtic Language Family, I know you hate the English and everything involving them, but that’s no reason to drag the Latin Alphabet into this!
I knew a girl named Niamh … pronounced “Neeve” … because of COURSE it was. Czechs like myself may be mostly genetically Celtic (I’ve got a good deal of Asiatic raider in my lineage), but this is a terrible divergence from their fellow Indo-European languages. I swear I’d probably have less difficulty with Dari!
If they weren’t older than the languages my family speaks … well …
And just for good measure, Harrumph!
