Language family relationships
[edit] [view] Múnirikir (Darkwoodish)Spoken on a northern called Darkwood Island, or Mœrkskóg, it is the language spoken by the descendants of the crew of a ship which landed on the Island during the colonialisation. It originally was a rather radical language, changing a few sounds to sound different from the Mainlanders. These days, however, it is more like the original language than any of the descendants and is as thus considered a sister, and no a daughter, to Old Northspeak
