Nousuerian (''in Nousuerian'': '''nusveksa''' [nusveskə] or '''det nusveska spròket''' [de nusveskə sprɔke]) is a North Germanic language spoken in the Kingdom of Nousuerian Isles. It is spoken by about 66,000 people, a majority of whom live in the Kingdom. Nousuerian is a member of the Scandinavian family and shares a common ancestor with contemporary Swedish. Nousuerian is a descendant of Modern Swedish, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in the Nousuerian Isles at the time. Nousuerian has also heavily borrowed vocabulary from French with whom the islands have a strong, shared ancestral, linguistic and cultural past.

===Orthography===
Before Nousuerian became an official language in the country, it had no standardised form. It was written using French orthological rules. It wasn't until 1956, 51 years after the independence of Nousueria, when then-ruler Queen Majelys declared that a standardised form was being developed by the newly-founded Royal Academy of the Nousuerian Language. This was in efforts of strengthening and maintaining national pride and retaining the cultural language.


<!-- ***Phonology*** -->
Queen Majelys's declaration of the completion of the Nousuerian alphabet was made on Dec. 24, 1956. The alphabet was completely integrated into society by the end of the decade and with it came rising literacy rates.
