[[Húsnorsk]] (/husnorsk/; [[w:endonym|endonym]]: ''Húsanorska''; Varhúsnorsk: /xuː.sa.nor.ska/; Nygadsnorsk: /xuː.sa.nor.ska/; Jugsnorsk: [xʊu̯.sɐ.nor.kʰɐ]) is a distinct Nordic language (or possibly two closely related languages), it is so named "House Norse" for its historical vernacular status. Húsnorsk has long been considered the continuation of the Norse spoken by the Varangians. Húsnorsk is considered decently divergent for a Nordic language, often being unintelligible to the others (Take Varhúsnorsk /au̯dj/ Nygadsnorsk /ɔ:dj/, Jugsnorsk /o̞udʲ/ vs Swedish /al/, Danish /ælˀ/, Icelandic /atlʏr/, and Old West Norse /ɑlːr̩/, Old East Norse /ɑlːʀ/)

While Nygadsnorsk and Jugsnorsk are often considered dialects of Húsnorsk, they are divergent enough to be difficult to communicate between, where Varhúsnorsk (or Standard Húsnorsk; Geneologically ''Common Húsnorsk'') is also distinct enough from both to be unintelligible. ~~This~~ article will ~~present all three in detail side-by-side as if in comparison to each other~~.

While Nygadsnorsk and Jugsnorsk are often considered dialects of Húsnorsk, they are divergent enough to be difficult to communicate between, where Varhúsnorsk (or Standard Húsnorsk; Geneologically ''Common Húsnorsk'') is also distinct enough from both to be unintelligible. As such, all three will be split into separate articles, this article will focus on Varhúsnorsk, with minimal coverage of the others.

==History==

===Early Húsnorsk (1100AD~1350AD)===

Line 119:

*Vowel shifts:

**Overlong to plain long

**Mid-highs and mid-lows merge (affects nasals)

**Mid-highs and mid-lows merge (affects nasals), short /ɛ/ merges with /a/ though.

**Unstressed shifts:

***Short: /i, e, y, ø, u, o, a/ > /ɪ, ɛ, ʏ, œ, ʊ, ɔ, ɐ/

Line 130:

**Not all speakers have wV- assimilation, those that don't finish the w/v merger.

*/sC/ to /Cʰ/, likely through intermediate /ʰC/

*(not all speakers) in some of the more common verbs, geminates are reduced to approximates/fricatives

~~at some point after~~ -ðr-/-nn- ~~leveling~~, ~~both turn nasal vowels into long vowels.~~

**"-pp-, -bb-" > "-v-"

**"-tt-, -dd-" > "-ð-"

**"-kk-, -gg-" > "-j-"

~~{{Jugsnorsk nouns|lem=ǿ|type=c-i|ty=i|str=y|v=y|al-|ol-|ó-|ǿ-|mean= - "awl"}}~~

As can be seen with this table, nouns can be irregular, especially when it consists of a vowel followed by l, as historic l-vocalization caused additional vowel alternations on top of umlaut.
