Quote from: gatsby on March 24, 2016, 09:03:02 AMI really wonder what language I would have spoken had the Muslim conquests of the Levant never happened. Ew maybe Turkish grossIslam helped the Turks conquer the Levant. It took down a Sassanid Persia and much of a Byzantine empire that were crippled by decades of brutal and extensive warfare. This is how the Arabs, now united, were able to defeat forces larger and more advanced than theirs (although not as large and advanced as Arab historians want you to think). Later, Turks BTFO the Arabs.Had this not happened, it would be unlikely that either empire would fall so soon, and one or both might have had the chance to recover fully.You'd probably speak some more developed form of Aramaic, maybe Greek if your family was upper-class.

Old Norse sounds a bit like Icelandic to me, which I'm not surprised by, but I still find it cool.
