Alska is a Germanic language originating from the nation of Alsland, a rather large island in the northern sea. | Alska [ɑls'-kɑ] is a Germanic language originating from the nation of Alsland, a rather large island in the northern sea. Alska is supposed to be somewhat related to the Scandinavian languages, although it's really more of my own take on Germanic languages as a whole. | ||
The speakers of Proto-Alska came from an unknown land, banished by their gods, according to legends. While Alsland itself has a survivable climate, the stories tell of a paradise. As Alslandic thinking progresses, it has been suggested that the Alslanders are not actually <i>from</i> anywhere, but made these tales up to give a basis for the harsh conditions of Alsland's weather. | |||
