There used to be a language called Norn but it's extinct because of English.
Seem like its phonology is heavily influenced by English but its grammar is much less so.

Conservative.
Iceland would be bad-ass if they reverted back to using Runes.
>>75725654
yes and no. Phonetically it is very different, vocabulary is closer, but it is so artificially. Because nationalists replaced all the words considered foreign, with old norse.
Funnily enough, modern icelandic is now closer to old norse, than it is to 18th century icelandic.
