Early forms

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/)
