'''L-Norwegian''' is a Finnic language spoken in [[User:IlL/Lõis]]'s Norway.


<!--
This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.
-->
==Introduction==
<!-- Design goals, inspiration, ideas, who speaks it?, when was it created?, where does it come from?, any peculiarities? -->
<!-- Example categories/headings:
Goals
Setting
Inspiration
-->
<!-- ***Phonology*** -->
<!-- What sounds does your language use? -->
<!-- Here are some example sub-/other categories:
Vowel inventory
Consonant inventory
Syllable structure
Stress
Intonation
-->
==Phonology==
All letters are pronounced as in Finnish except '''d''' which is pronounced /ð/, '''ë''' pronounced /ə/, '''ü''' pronounced /y/ and '''ie, uo, üö''' pronounced /iə, uə, yə/.
Stress is always on the first syllable.
===Vowel harmony===
'''a, o, u''' are back; '''ä, ö, ü, e''' are front; '''ë, i''' are neutral.
