'''[[Fjämsk|Femmish]]''' (known as fjämsk [fjɛmʃ] or deð fjämsk språgið [dɪθ fjɛmʃ ’spʁɔ:xɪθ] in the language itself) is a North Germanic language, spoken by the 550,700 inhabitants of the island nation of Femland. It is a member of the Northern Germanic (Scandinavian) family of languages and is largely mutually intelligible with Norwegian, Danish and Swedish. Femmish is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in Scandinavia during the Viking era. Femmish has also absorbed vocabulary from Dutch with whom the island was a trading partner during the middle ages.

The standard word order is subject–verb–object (svo), though this can often be changed to stress certain words or phrases or in certain adverbial sentences.
The standard word order is subject–verb–object (SVO), though this can often be changed to stress certain words or phrases or in certain adverbial sentences. Femmish morphology is similar to English; that is, words have comparatively few inflections. There are two genders, the so-called common and neuter; often known as neuter and non-neuter or ð-words and n-words. There are two grammatical cases, and a distinction between plural and singular. Adjectives are compared as in English, and are also inflected according to gender, number and definiteness. The definiteness of nouns is marked primarily through suffixes (endings), complemented with separate definite and indefinite articles.
