The Rugenian language (Rüügernitscher spääh [ʀyːgeɳɪt͡ʃeɐ̯ ʃpɛːç]) is a Germanic language and thus is closely related to the English, Swedish, German and Icelandic languages. Rugenian currently has less than 150,000 native speakers. The vast majority of its speakers come from the north-east of Germany, the east of Denmark and north-western Poland. In addition, there are few speakers in the south of Sweden. The language gets its name from Germany's largest island, Rügen (called Rüügern in Rugenian). The language is first attested in the 10th century by a copy of the Book of Malachi found at Rønne on the Danish island of Bornholm.
