Northmannish Dictionary


Northmannish is a new conlang for northerners in Aldraheimr 2nd Edition, created by Oneo64. This language is mostly derived from Old West Norse (unlike Oddarish), with sound change rules, irregularity rules, orthographical changes, etc. The primary goal is to give it an archaic and ancient feeling while making it different from other Germanic languages.
