Title: Any of you speak "Old German"?
Post by: Irongrip400 on August 14, 2015, 06:19:34 PM: Bought some documents from 1785 with a bunch of crap from Joseph II Austrian Emporer. Only thing, is some of it is written so it's hard to translate. Legit stuff, basically talking about how Bohemia and a few other areas were now under his control.

Gotta love what Europe used to be.

I have some documents that date back to WWI from my great grandfather and they were written (by the Kaiser) in "High German". I had to get a historian to translate, and this was less than 100 years ago.

I can be, stud.
