    I've been periodically adding entries and, especially, links to the Timeline. They include original language texts that exist online somewhere, translations into modern English, and relevant discussions here in Kunjarazdôz or other AW groups.

    I also changed the color of Old Low Franconian from purple to a shade of green, to indicate its close relation with Low German.

    Also, I plan to add posts around Kunjarazdôz with more information about what the various old languages actually looked like. At first, I'll start with the Our Father prayer since, though it's not a native text but a translation, it's a nice bite-sized snippet of language that exists in all the various languages. Then I'll point out some of the characteristics that distinguish each language from the others. At least that's the plan.

    Please feel free to chime in about anything that strikes you.
