midnightsjane's livejournal, a quiz about ancient languages:
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.
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.

Your Score: Older Futhark
You scored
Language of the Norse, Older Futhark! Thirty symbols, all told. And no hardier, more warrior-like tongue has ever graced the longships of the Viki or left the Celts and Saxons in such quivering fear. There's only one drawback, that being you died 800 years ago.
