Frank and Helen were English.

Telmarines did not change that, so there would have been English pirates among their ancestors. Even if names sound slightly Spanish to Sindarin.

Even Calormen, despite titles and names very exotic, must have spoken English if Shasta and Aravis could understand King Lune and Edmund and Susan and so many others - including an 'edge'og - and same for Northern Wilderness.

So, what exactly was the language Prince Caspian was studying for Doctor Cornelius in the book by Pulverulentus Siccus? Latin? For what precise occasions?

English hardly needs a whole textbook for accidence (a k a morphology).

And how exactly was English preserved identical to 19th C London + some Middle Ages and + some Pirates of 17th C. for thousands of years between Creation and Telmarine times?

If Hebrew was preserved from Adam to Abraham basically unchanged, at least lifespans were longer and therefore more overlapping.]]> Prince Caspian hansgeorg https://www.thelionscall.com/community/prince-caspian/what-language-was-spoken-in-narnia/ Cair Paravel's ruins https://www.thelionscall.com/community/prince-caspian/cair-paravels-ruins/ Sat, 11 Apr 2015 17:09:10 +0000 Prince Caspian when the Pevensies come back to Narnia after a thousand or so years, they find Cair Paravel in ruins. What's bugged me about that since I read PC, VDT, and SC, is that by even the time of VDT, everybody seems to be going about business in Cair Paravel like nothing ever happened. How long does everybody think it takes to rebuild a ruined castle? :P ....or have I totally missed something in one of the books?]]> Prince Caspian narniac101 https://www.thelionscall.com/community/prince-caspian/cair-paravels-ruins/ Narnia similar to Israel? https://www.thelionscall.com/community/prince-caspian/narnia-similar-to-israel/ Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:17:06 +0000
It's an idea that I've been playing around with for some time. I'm working on pulling some of the historical and Biblical evidence from both of these times into the story that I'm writing about the Telmarine Invasion, but I wanted to know your thoughts.]]> Prince Caspian narniagirl11 https://www.thelionscall.com/community/prince-caspian/narnia-similar-to-israel/
