    The three linguist hosts answer fan questions about the languages of the sci-fi crime drama Beforeigners. What do we know about Old Norse, the language of the Vikings? How do you construct a completely fictional but believable language for people from the Mesolithic era? And is Navn Ukjent the best character ever?
