 Nousuerian (Nousuerian: nusveska; French: nousuédois; Swedish: nusveska) is a constructed, a posteriori language in the North Germanic family of languages, descended from the Old Norse language. It has about 66,000 people, most of whom live on the Nousuerian Islands. Other communities of Nousuerians who speak Nousuerian as a native language live in France, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The grammar of Nousuerian is very close to that of Swedish, but most of the vocabulary of Nousuerian is directly borrowed from the French language. With the Nousuerian language comes an alternate history of the places in which it developed and is spoken; namely, the real-life Faroe Islands.
