Seen on [livejournal.com profile] midnightsjane's livejournal, a quiz about ancient languages:




Your Score: Linear B


You scored




You are Linear B. Even those who can follow you think you're all Greek to them. Which, after all, is true - Linear B being the first known text for written Greek. To most people, you're incomprehensible. But what do you care? You're tough, hard, long-enduring and have greater nobility than most. Naturally, you don't admit to borrowing extensively from your brother Linear A.

I was all set to say that this was particularly cool because I've studied Linear B, but I've studied a lot of obscure ancient languages, so I guess the odds were good. But I've studied more Linear B than most of the others.


In fact, here's the list: Ogham, Glagolista, Phoenician, Linear A, Linear B, Old English, Old Finnish, Aramaic, Iberian, Akkadian, Sumerian, Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Demotic, Coptic, Lugano, Etruscan, Oscan, Proto-Elamite, Anatolian Hieroglyphics, Proto-Sinaitic, Wadi el-Hol, Byblos, Greek, Ugaritic, Mayan.

I've only formally studied five of them (if you count Etruscan), and have a small,passing familiarity with five more, if you count Linear A, which no one can read anyway. But I've forgotten most of that stuff.
