Vāgøgjaskt

General information
Vāgøgjaskt (or in English, Vag Islander) is a classical Germanic language once spoken in and around the Norwegian fylke of Sogn og Fjordane. It gets its name from the isle of Vågsøy where the first manuscripts were discovered. Vag Islander shares many of the soundchanges that created it out of Proto-Germanic with Old Norse, but the two differ somewhat. It can geographically and etymologically be classified as Northern Germanic as it is remarkably similar to Old West Norse and somewhat less so to Old East Norse.

It is an inflecting language with traits similar to and complexity hovering around that of Old Norse. It distinguishes four cases in all forms and the vocative only marginally; it has a definiteness distinction on its nouns and verbs, marked with special inflectional endings. Unlike the definite inflections found in Old Norse, the ones in Vāgøgjaskt are more fully merged with standard case endings.
