Root languages - Quarinteen - 12-11-2022
Hello I am new to the forum. I am not Jewish myself just hoping to find good information. I recently learned of the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet. I noticed some similarities to Viking alphabets and runes I have seen. Does anyone know if the old Scandinavian languages had their root in Hebrew?

I have no clue.

As I said in the other thread, I only see a rather limited similarity of a few of the runes to Phoenician/paleo-Hebrew. But, again, I am no expert in old Skandinavian, but it's obviously Germanic. Here's a few links to get you started:
