    Old English example (minus actual orthography):
    Cnut cyning gret his arcebiscopas and his leod-biscopas and Þurcyl eorl and ealle his eorlas and ealne his þeodscype, twelfhynde and twyhynde, gehadode and læwede, on Englalande freondlice

    Silliness aside, yes, I feel Spanish should be available for the game. This has also been discussed many times before. Here's hoping!
    I would actually prefer if everything was written in Old English prose. It would beat the weird mix of American English and "must needs" that we currently have...

    Also, it's frankly bizarre that SE chose to translate the game into French and German rather than the second-most widely spoken language in the world.

    Yeah, that stilted English is annoying. >< (and now I want a game fully in OE with subtitles [or not... :3 ] )

    I think... German had to be included due to some commerce laws right? But (we've talked about this many times on other 'please add Spanish' threads), I don't understand why Spanish wasn't included. That makes NO sense at all to me. :/
