Húsnorsk is a distinct West Nordic language, it is so named "House Norse~~" or "House language~~" for its historical vernacular status. Húsnorsk is considered the continuation of the Norse spoken by the Varangians, though ~~its clear the ancient speakers lived in the far north of Kievan Rus~~, ~~and thus near the other~~ Nordic ~~languages~~. Húsnorsk is considered decently divergent for a Nordic language, often being unintelligible to the others (Take Húsnorsk /ɔ:.dɐ/ vs Swedish /al/, Danish /ælˀ/, Icelandic /atlʏr/, and Old (West) Norse /ɑlːr̩/)

#It is extremely common to turn word initial /x/ into /k/, roughly 65% to 70% of native speakers do so, and it rather consistently happens in those who do it, though proper names form a major exception to this, for example, "Hémnǫ́dą" ("Heimdall") is almost never pronounced with an initial /k/ by any speaker, this is likely due to people's hesitance to modify names.

#/v/ is /ʋ/ following a consonant (eg. /Cv/ = /Cʋ/), and for some speakers, word initially.

:Drýmda mik ą² drým í nátt um<br>sýki ók dýran fǿd

English:

:I dreamt a dream last night of<br>silk and fine fur.
