Of course, I'm not Scandinavian, but after next year I will be a junior-nord.  I'm going on an exchange trip to Denmark for the 2013-14 school year, and my main conlang, Alska, definitely shows that.
I'm a small-time conlanger, most of my serious conlangs are ''a posteriori'', in which i like to take a pairing of languages and see what they would sound like mashed together.


Alska is supposed to be a real-world Scandinavian language, related as closely to Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish as they are to each other.  While it is very similar, there are enough differences to distinguish it from any one of them.
I speak English and Danish, and therefore also can converse with Norwegians (more in writing than in person), and I can understand written Swedish.  If a Norwegian or Swede speaks slowly I might be able to pick up more.  I also spoke German, but it's become mixed with my Danish and I've forgotten a lot of grammar, so I can basically only read it now.  


I have several other conlangs which are not yet fully though-out enough to have a place here, but I am putting them on the back burner for now, since I just had a major burst of inspiration:
I also have plans to learn Afrikaans someday (I find it cooler than Dutch even though they're almost the same), and I've thought about learning Spanish or Portuguese.


==Announcing the Mass Effect Language Project!==
==Conlangs==


After starting another playthrough of ME2, I decided to try and flesh the universe out even more by creating a conlang for each race in the game. (Where applicable.  Some races don't have enough basis for me to construct one, and the Elcor communicate through subsonic sound)
'''[[Alska|Alska]]'''
Alska is my first conlang, and is therefore very conservative.  It went through many changes, first from an odd-germanic based language with asinine grammar and phonology, to a more stable Nordic language, although I decided after a while that it needed a spelling reform and a basis.  The Alska you see today is intended to be a Esperanto-like lingua franca for the Nordic Countries, even though it looks very similar to Danish/Norwegian.  I've attempted to simplify the grammar even more and extend and restrict the phonology to the sounds that are commonly found in all three mainland Nordic languages. 


My goal is to have a basic skeleton language for the following races:
'''[[Buerkáns|Buerkáns]]'''
Buerkáns is my newest language, and attempts to invent a new Germanic language based on a blending of German, Afrikaans, and Danish.


-Salarian
'''[[Fejãto|Fejãto]]'''
-Turian
Fejãto is not quite finished or fully thought-out.  I am just playing around with phonology and new grammar rules here.  It has a ver 'messy' sounding phonology, with lots of frictaves.
-Quarian
-Asari
 
 
There are more alien races, but there is not enough in-game reference to their languages for me to construct one.
