-Alska [ɑls'-kɑ] is a Germanic language originating from the nation of Alsland, a rather large (area-wise) 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 Scandinavian languages as a whole.  It is <i>very</i> closely related to them, to the point of being mutually intelligible in some cases, although it is just as different from them as Swedish is from Danish, or as Norwegian is from Swedish.

 Basically, it has turned out kind of like Esperanto for Scandinavia, even though that isn't its intent.  Alska has a bit more structure when it comes to pronunciation and grammar, and sticks to them pretty well, if not for a few irregularities.
