Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... THE OLD SHETLAND DIALECT. tunga," or "Danish tongue" was spread over nearly the whole north of Europe. It was not at all confined to Denmark: it was spoken in Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden), whose centre it was; it was spoken in Iceland, Faroe, Shetland, Orkney, to a great extent in the western Scottish Isles, the Isle of Man, and also to some extent in Britain itself--in part of Scotland, especially in the north and along the coast, in the north of England and part of Ireland, and finally along the south and east border of the Baltic Sea. It was the Scandinavian vikings who carried the Danish tongue so far: the Norwegians and Danes went west, the Norwegians taking a more northerly, the Danes a more southerly direction (in Scotland, and especially language called "Donsk A the islands north of Scotland, it was chiefly the Norwegians who settled; in England it was the Danes); the Swedes went more to the eastward and occupied f. i. the east border of the Baltic Sea, and even formed a little kingdom in the heart of Russia. I need not here say much about how Shetland was peopled, first by Picts, who came from Scotland, and then by Norwegians, especially those who at the close of the 9th century crossed the North Sea, flying from the tyranny of King Harald Haarfager and trying to find new homes. It is a general belief that the Norsemen extinguished the Picts in Shetland.

Excerpt from The Dialect and Place Names of Shetland: Two Popular Lectures During the years 1893-94-95, Mr Jakob Jakobsen, Cand. Mag. Of the University of Copenhagen, conducted an exhaustive series of investigations into the remains of the old Norse language in Shetland. Some of the te sults of his enquiries are embodied in these two Lectures, which were cast in a popular form, and were delivered at Lerwick and other places in Shetland before the author's return to Denmark. Other results of his in vestigations are contained in his Thesis entitled, Det Noronne Sprog paa Shetland, which was accepted by the University of Copenhagen as entitling him to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
