{{PAGENAME}} was the North Germanic language ancestral to the Húsnorsk language(s), it is extremely notable for its archaic state, often noted as being "hyper-archaic", consistently preserving Proto-Germanic *z as distinct in ''all'' positions, even where lost in Old Norse, such as in ''*foglăʀ'', vs. Old Norse ''fogl''. (note that "ă" was historically written without the diacritic, and signifies a syllabic consonant. Also note that ''ʀ'' was historically written ''z'', though the sound is reconstructed as *[ʝ].)
