Wessedian is a North Germanic language spoken by several thousands of people, principally in the Republic of Wessey. Communities of Wessedian speakers are also found in the United Republics of Ireland and Scotland, where it is recognised as a minority language. There are considerable amounts of speakers in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in the Monarchy of England and Wales. Smaller communities also exist in Canada and the United States.
Wessedian shares a lot of similarities with other North Germanic languages, especially with Western Norwegian dialects and Faroese, but also features some influences from Goidelic languages and Scots.
