Of course, I'm not Scandinavian, but after next year I will be a junior-nord. I'm going on an exchange trip to Denmark for the 2013-14 school year, and my main conlang, Alska, definitely shows that.

Alska is supposed to be a real-world Scandinavian language, related as closely to Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish as they are to each other. While it is very similar, there are enough differences to distinguish it from any one of them.

I have several other conlangs which are not yet fully though-out enough to have a place here, but I am putting them on the back burner for now, since I just had a major burst of inspiration:

==Announcing the Mass Effect Language Project!==

After starting another playthrough of ME2, I decided to try and flesh the universe out even more by creating a conlang for each race in the game. (Where applicable. Some races don't have enough basis for me to construct one, and the Elcor communicate through subsonic sound)

My goal is to have a basic skeleton language for the following races:

-Salarian
-Turian
-Quarian
-Asari

There are more alien races, but there is not enough in-game reference to their languages for me to construct one.
