Vestlandic

Classification and Dialects
Vestlandic is a North Germanic language spoken in the Vestlandic Confederation. Unlike Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, it retained like Icelandic and Faeroese its case system inherited from Old Norse, as the settlers did not come in contact with the Hanseatic League and its elite speaking Low German and leading ultimately to the lost of cases in the continental Scandinavian languages. Being a daughter language of Late Middle Danish and being heavily influenced by Modern Danish (having been a Danish colony up until 1864, the Danish language was the sole language of administration and education), Vestlandic contains a lot of Danish words, but also words from other Germanic languages like Low German, Dutch and Upper German (due to the migration of people coming from the German and Dutch speaking world).
