* The Country of Eittland
|
||||
** Eittlandic Geography
|
||||
Eittland is an active volcanic island. In its center we can find the
|
||||
most active volcanoes, surrounded by glaciers and some regular
|
||||
mountains. It is surrounded by some taiga, taiga plains covered mainly
|
||||
by ashen pines (/pinus fraxinus/), and a large cold desert covering most
|
||||
of the center of the island and its northern eastern part. Outside
|
||||
this largely unpopulated region, Eastern Eittland mainly consists of
|
||||
grasslands with some temperate rainforests on its southern shores as
|
||||
well as some occasional wetland and marshes. On the other hand,
|
||||
Western Eittland has a lot more temperate deciduos forests, temperate
|
||||
rainforests and some more wetlands and marshes still. Three small cold
|
||||
deserts spawn in Western Eittland, including one north-east of
|
||||
Đeberget not far from the city. More details can be found in the map
|
||||
below. Overall, the southern and western parts of Eittland can be
|
||||
compared to Scotland in terms of temperatures, or a warmer Iceland.
|
||||
This page was moved to [[https://wiki.phundrak.com/s/eittland][its dedicated wiki]].
|
||||
|
||||
#+html: <ImgFigure src="/img/eittlandic/map-biomes.png">Biomes of the Eittlandic Island</ImgFigure>
|
||||
|
||||
Eastern Eittland is also recognizable by its great amount of flat
|
||||
shorelines, especially in its northern and eastern parts which are part
|
||||
of the more recent paths of lava flows. On the other hand, its few
|
||||
fjords and the numerous fjords found in the western part of the island
|
||||
are characteristic of much older parts of Eittland. The Fjord
|
||||
themselves were formed during the last ice age, while the smoother
|
||||
shore lines formed since. Western Eittland also has two main bays
|
||||
which are two very old caldeira volcanoes. It is not known whether
|
||||
they will be one day active again or not.
|
||||
|
||||
** Culture
|
||||
The Eittlandic people share a common basis for their culture which
|
||||
remained rather conservative for much longer than the other nordic
|
||||
people due to its resistance towards Christianity conversion. The
|
||||
number of people adhering to Norse beliefs remained very high through
|
||||
the ages and only recently began declining, going from 93% of
|
||||
Eittlanders declaring themselves follower of the Norse Faith in 1950
|
||||
to 68% in 2019. This decline is also due to either people converting
|
||||
to a religion or due to the immigration boom from the last seventy
|
||||
years, though the main reason is the decline in people identifying to
|
||||
any faith at all --- the number of atheists went from only 2% of
|
||||
Eittlanders in 1940 to 15% in 2019. The evolution of the religious
|
||||
population is shown in the chart below, and a geographical
|
||||
distribution of these in 2019 can be found in the map following the
|
||||
chart --- note that only the main religion is shown in a particular
|
||||
area and religions with fewer people in said area are not shown. You
|
||||
can also see on said map the population repartition of Eittland.

|
||||
|
||||
There is also a regional cultural difference between Western, Eastern,
|
||||
and Southern Eittland marked with some differences in traditions and
|
||||
language. There is currently a nationalist movement in Southern
|
||||
Eittland to create a new state within the Kingdom of Eittland. The
|
||||
repartition of the different eittlandic cultures is shown in the map
|
||||
below.

|
||||
|
||||
Standard Eittlandic is a relatively young language, created in the
|
||||
1960s by the government in order to create a standard dialect to
|
||||
facilitate communications between Eittlanders and make learning the
|
||||
language easier. Standard Eittlandic is now enforced as the /de facto/
|
||||
legal language of the High Kingdom of Eittland, used by its
|
||||
government, schools, and universities, but the local dialects are
|
||||
still widely spoken privately and in business which remains regional.
|
||||
They still have a strong presence in popular media and are still
|
||||
spoken by younger generations, however, a decline has been registered
|
||||
since the 90s among young people living in cities, speaking more and
|
||||
more in Standard Eittlandic instead. Dialects are also rarely used on
|
||||
the internet outside private conversation. An estimate of 17% of
|
||||
the Eittlandic population younger than 25 in 2017 do not speak any
|
||||
dialectal Eittlandic outside of Standard Eittlandic, although only 2%
|
||||
of them do not understand their family’s dialectal Eittlandic.
|
||||
Standard Eittlandic also became the default dialect for Eittlandic
|
||||
communities living outside Eittland --- in these communities the
|
||||
inability of speaking other dialects rise to 61% while the ability to
|
||||
understand them rises to 25% among Eittlanders younger than 25 in 2018
|
||||
and who still have Eittlandic as their mother tongue.
|
||||
|
||||
It is estimated only 0.05% of people living in Eittland do not speak
|
||||
any Eittlandic dialect, all of them being immigrants or children of
|
||||
immigrants. It is therefore safe to say Eittlandic is still going
|
||||
strong and does not face any risk of disappearing anytime soon,
|
||||
although we might be at the start of the decline of the historical
|
||||
dialects of Eittland in favor of Standard Eittlandic.
|
||||
|
||||
In this document, you will see references to both Standard Eittlandic
|
||||
and Modern Eittlandic. Although some people use the terms
|
||||
interchangeably, they are not. /Standard Eittlandic/ refers to the
|
||||
official dialect described above, while /Modern Eittlandic/ refers to
|
||||
all modern dialects of Eittlandic. This document focuses on Modern
|
||||
Eittlandic in general, and when details about specific dialects are
|
||||
given, the name of said dialect will be shared.
|
||||
|
||||
** Name of the Country
|
||||
The origins of the name of Eittland are unclear, two main theories
|
||||
exist regarding its etymology.
|
||||
|
||||
The first theory says the root of the name of “Eittland” is the
|
||||
accusative of /einn/ (Old Norse /one/, /alone/) and /land/ (Old Norse /country/,
|
||||
/land/). This is due to how remote it seemed to the people who
|
||||
discovered, before Iceland and Greenland were known. Hence, a possible
|
||||
translation of “Eittland” can be /Lonely Land/. The term “Eittlandic” is
|
||||
relatively transparent considering the term “Icelandic” for “Iceland”
|
||||
and “Greenlandic” for “Greenland”.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the second but least probable theory is the island is named
|
||||
after /eitr/, a mythical poison from which the first Jøtunn Ymir was
|
||||
created. Eittland’s waters near the volcanoes containing high amounts
|
||||
of sulfur, a poison, could be what named the island. This association
|
||||
with poison, as well as the association to the place where it was
|
||||
found, /Ginnungagap/, could have acted as a deterrent to prevent people
|
||||
outsiders from coming.
|
||||
|
||||
This last theory’s first recorded mention is from the 18th century,
|
||||
while the first theory appears to be much older, and therefore much
|
||||
more likely. It is possible the latter was thought of as a way to
|
||||
re-invigorate Eittland’s identity as a pagan country unlike its other
|
||||
Nordic counterparts, maybe even as a fearsome country.
|
||||
|
||||
Although the country is known as Eittland, the island itself bears a
|
||||
few other names. Early records show the island being referred to as
|
||||
/Vestrheim/ by early settlers, meaning /West Home/, and its inhabitants
|
||||
being referred to as /Vestrheiming/ and /Vestrheimingjar/ (singular and
|
||||
plural respectively). Around the same time, settlers living closer to
|
||||
the mountains would also call the inner lands /Fjallheim/, meaning
|
||||
/Mountain Home/, which stuck until now as a name for the Northwestern
|
||||
peninsula of Eittland. Lastly, the name /Eldøy/, /Fire Island/, was used
|
||||
to refer both to Eittland and Iceland due to their volcanic activity.
|
||||
Nowadays, the name morphed into /Eldfjall/ to refer to the volcanic
|
||||
cluster at the center of the Island.
|
||||
|
||||
** History
|
||||
*** Early Eittlandic History (late 8th century - 14th century)
|
||||
According to historical records, Eittland was first found in 763 by
|
||||
Norwegian explorers. Its first settlement appeared in 782 on its
|
||||
eastern shores with hopes of finding new farmland. The population grew
|
||||
rapidly after the discovery of the southern shores, and in 915
|
||||
Eittland became self-governing with Ásmundr Úlfsonn declared the first
|
||||
Eittlandic king. However, in order to avoid any unnecessary conflicts,
|
||||
the new king swore allegiance to the Norwegian king Harald I
|
||||
Halfdansson. Eittland thus became a vassal state to the Norwegian
|
||||
crown while retaining autonomy from it, which was granted due to the
|
||||
distance between the two countries.
|
||||
|
||||
Shortly after however, the beginning of the christianisation of the
|
||||
nordic countries and especially of Norway created a new immigration
|
||||
boost in Eittland with norsemen seeking a pagan land untouched by
|
||||
christian faith. In 935, a year after Haakon I Haraldsson became king
|
||||
of Norway and began trying to introduce Christianity to its people,
|
||||
the newly crowned king Áleifr I Ásmundson of Eittland adopted a new
|
||||
law forbidding the Christian faith to be imported, promoted, and
|
||||
practiced in Eittland. This decision forever weakened the alliance
|
||||
between the two countries and detariorated their relationship.
|
||||
|
||||
As more and more people in Eittland were moving to its western part
|
||||
due to larger opportunities with its farmlands, king Áleifr I chose in
|
||||
936 to move the capital of Eittland from Hylfjaltr to Đeberget and
|
||||
split in half the country. He appointed his brother Steingrímr, later
|
||||
known as Steingrímr I Áleifsbróðr, as his co-ruler and gave him
|
||||
authority over Eastern Eittland while he kept ruling himself over
|
||||
Western Eittland. This choice is due to the difficulty of going from
|
||||
one side of the island to the other by land --- lava often flows from
|
||||
volcanoes to the shores and destroy paths joining the two parts
|
||||
together. This gave birth to the two states of the Kingdom of Đeberget
|
||||
(also called the /Western Eittlandic Kingdom/) and the Kingdom of
|
||||
Hylfjaltr (also called the /Eastern Eittlandic Kingdom/). More on that
|
||||
in [[file:country.md#Political-Organization][Political Organization]].
|
||||
|
||||
*** Crusades and Independence (13th century - 1400)
|
||||
As soon as the 13th century, and through the 14th century, the
|
||||
Teutonic Order and the Livonian Order, backed by the Holy Roman
|
||||
Empire, proposed crusades against Eittland to get rid of its norse
|
||||
faith. However, these never came to be due to the distance between
|
||||
Eittland and mainland Europe, despite the papal authorisations in
|
||||
1228, 1257, 1289, 1325, and 1367.
|
||||
|
||||
In 1397, the creation of the Kalmar Union kicked a new crusade, this
|
||||
time backed by the Union itself as well as the Teutonic Order --- Eric
|
||||
of Pomerania aimed to unify his country both religiously by getting
|
||||
rid of the norse faith in Eittland and politically by getting rid of
|
||||
its established monarchy. A contingent sailed to Eittland to submit
|
||||
the island, however they were met with fierce resistance by the locals
|
||||
on arrival. Estimates show that while some 2,400 Eittlandic people
|
||||
died during this first invasion, most of the 3,000 men sent were
|
||||
either killed or taken prisoners.
|
||||
|
||||
In 1398, a new contingent of 12,000 men landed in Eittland. This time,
|
||||
a much more prepared army of 14,000 men faced them on a battlefield
|
||||
east of the eastern capital of Hyfjaltr. This resulted in an
|
||||
Eittlandic victory, however the Monarch of Hylfjaltr Eiríkr IV
|
||||
Ásgeirsbróðr lost his life during the battle. Coincidentally, the High
|
||||
King Ásgeirr I Biœrgson died of unknown causes around the same time.
|
||||
Historians still debate whether it is due to the ongoing conflict, and
|
||||
if it is by whom. Theories range from poisoning by spies from the
|
||||
Kalmar Union, to assassination by the next rulers, to a much more
|
||||
simple, unknown health condition which coincided with the ongoing
|
||||
events.
|
||||
|
||||
During the same year, the Althing elected Arvid I Geirson as the new
|
||||
High King who nominated his brother Havardr I Arvidbróðr as the
|
||||
Monarch of Hylfjaltr. While the previous monarchs took a more
|
||||
defensive approach, they chose to become much more aggressive,
|
||||
striving for independence. After demands were sent to the Kalmar
|
||||
Union, Eittland began a series of raids on its territories, ranging
|
||||
from Iceland to the Faroese Islands to even two raids in Norway and
|
||||
Denmark. These raids only aimed trade and military ships but severely
|
||||
handicaped the Union’s marine.
|
||||
|
||||
On September 17th, 1400 High King Arvid Geirson of Eittland and King
|
||||
Erik of the Kalmar Union met in Reykjavík to sign the Treaty of
|
||||
Reykjavík, during which the Kalmar Union recognized the independence
|
||||
of Eittland and renounced its claims to the island. On the other hand,
|
||||
Eittland ceeded its Greenlandic colonies to the Kalmar Union. Both
|
||||
parties agreed to end the hostilities towards one another.
|
||||
|
||||
While the Union no longer launched any crusades against Eittland, the
|
||||
Teutonic Order attempted to land again in 1407 with 4,000 men.
|
||||
Although the Kingdom of Hylfjaltr took a devastating blow during the
|
||||
initial days of the crusade, loosing well over 6,000 men, the invaders
|
||||
were ultimately defeated thanks to reinforcement from the Kingdom of
|
||||
Ðeberget. This marked the end of crusades in Eittland.
|
||||
|
||||
*** The Absolute Monarchy (1400 - late 1700s)
|
||||
Once independent, Eittland quickly became isolated among the European
|
||||
nations due as it was percieved as a pagan nation by the rest of the
|
||||
continent. For over a century, the country had to be almost entirely
|
||||
self-sufficient. This lead to a more in-depth survey of the resources
|
||||
of the land launched in 1421. Large quantities of iron were discovered
|
||||
in 1432 in Western Eittland in the geologically older parts of the
|
||||
island as well as copper and some gold.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately for the island, no coal deposit ever got found, the
|
||||
islanders turned to charcoal instead. During the following century, an
|
||||
important deforestation of Eittland took place until the royal decree
|
||||
of 1542 was proclaimed in order to protect the forests. It ruled that
|
||||
for each tree felled in the next hundred years, four shall be planted,
|
||||
and only one once the period ended. The only exceptions were for
|
||||
creating new pastures with the condition of the request being
|
||||
submitted and accepted by the local Jarl and its government.
|
||||
|
||||
The discovery of important marble deposits in the geologically more
|
||||
recent parts of the island in 1512 was the event that reopened trades
|
||||
with the continent. England was the first country to openly trade with
|
||||
Eittland, swiftly followed by states from the Holy Roman Empire and
|
||||
other protestant countries. The country became famous for its pure
|
||||
white and green marble, which became its emblem. Walking in the
|
||||
streets of major cities today, we can still see most of the monuments
|
||||
and buildings from during that era made of marble. It is particularly
|
||||
the case in Hylfjaltr, known by the nickname of “The White City” due
|
||||
to the sheer amount of monuments made of ouf this material.
|
||||
|
||||
It is around this time religious wars broke out in mainland Europe,
|
||||
and war refugees coming at first from Scandinavia and soon enough from
|
||||
all Northern and Western Europe came to Eittland to seek refuge. They
|
||||
were accepted on the condition never to try and spread their religion
|
||||
on the island with the risk of expulsion back to continental Europe.
|
||||
At the time, the influx of refugees represented around one percent of
|
||||
its total population, with about two thirds of it being protestants
|
||||
and the rest catholics. The local protestant population officially
|
||||
founded in 1587 the Church of Eittland.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find in the chart below a breakdown of the various countries
|
||||
and regions religious refugees came from. Although Scandinavia was one
|
||||
of the first regions to take refuge in Eittland, most refugees came
|
||||
from the Holy Roman Empire and from France where religious wars were
|
||||
particularly violent. It is estimated most of the Protestant
|
||||
population of Eittland are mainly from French descent, while the HRE’s
|
||||
and Scandinavian population came with mixes of Christians and
|
||||
Protestants. On the other hand most, if not all, of the English
|
||||
population was Christian.

|
||||
|
||||
With the beginning of coloniolization of Northern America, Eittland
|
||||
became a naval hotspot. Its position allowed ships to cut in half
|
||||
their journey if necessary and replenish their supplies. England and
|
||||
the Netherlands were the first countries to halt in Eittland for such
|
||||
reasons, participating in an important economic boom in the early 16th
|
||||
century on a national scale. France later joined this trade route
|
||||
starting in 1619 when going to their colonies in modern-day Canada.
|
||||
|
||||
On the 30th of March 1775, England demanded from Eittland a port to be
|
||||
used as a military port as part of their war effort during the
|
||||
American revolution. Eittland refused these demands, invoking a
|
||||
neutrality concerning the ongoing conflict. In response, England sent
|
||||
an ultimatum, asking the port of Vátrsteinn to be their military base.
|
||||
On Eittland’s second refusal, England declared war and launched a land
|
||||
invasion of the island. The general in charge of the invasion, Sir
|
||||
Andrew Sapping, decided to avoid landing in fjords, judging it too
|
||||
risky and prone to ambushes. Instead, English troops landed in the
|
||||
flatlands west of Vátrsteinn. While eittlandic troops were massing in
|
||||
the nearby town of Vestrfjoðarkjapt, a volcano erupted into a
|
||||
pyroclastic flow. The English landing site being on its path, half of
|
||||
the invading English forces were immediately wiped out, and two thirds
|
||||
of their vessels were badly dammaged or destroyed. Immediately after
|
||||
this, Sir Sapping surrendered to the Eittlandic troops which were
|
||||
captured as prisonners of war. Due to this defeat and the sudden
|
||||
reduction in available men and ships in the English army, the Treaty
|
||||
of Hylfjaltr was signed on the 25 of May of the same year. While
|
||||
England recognized its defeat, Eittland promised not to intervene on
|
||||
any side in the current rebellion of the American colonies (which was
|
||||
not the intent of Eittland in the first place).
|
||||
|
||||
After the independence of the United States of America, Eittland not
|
||||
only retained its status as a maritime hotspot but also boomed as one
|
||||
between Northern America and Europe. Its ports of Kóparvall and
|
||||
Tvinnár, near Ðeberget and Hylfjaltr respectively, became the two
|
||||
major ports in Eittland, with Tvinnár generally favoured by ships
|
||||
coming from Europe and Kóparvall favoured by ships coming from
|
||||
Northern America.
|
||||
|
||||
*** Industrial Revolution and Constitutional Monarchy (18th century)
|
||||
By the beginning of the 18th century, Eittland begins to heavily
|
||||
industrialize out of a need for larger and more effective ports,
|
||||
requiring themselves lots of various machinery and base materials.
|
||||
Mines in Western Eittland became much more active, extracting primary
|
||||
resources such as iron, aluminum and other precious metals.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to a lack of coal in the Eittlandic island, the country had to buy
|
||||
it from other countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States
|
||||
or modern-day Canada. Coal stayed the primary source of power in
|
||||
Eittland for most of the century up to around the 1880s when Eittland
|
||||
found deposits off its Eastern coast. Oil extraction remains to this
|
||||
day a significant part of the Eittlandic economy, although in decline
|
||||
due to the deposits progressively drying up.
|
||||
|
||||
Industrial development mostly happen in Eastern Eittland due to its
|
||||
flatter terrain compared to Western Eittland. Primary resources
|
||||
extracted from Western Eittland were primarily brought to factories by
|
||||
boat; although the country pushed towards building train tracks, the
|
||||
eastern and western parts of the country remained separated due to the
|
||||
frequent eruptions of the volcanoes in the central part of the island
|
||||
cutting off any attempt to link the two regions.
|
||||
|
||||
Fishing also developped as a significant activity in Eittland, most of
|
||||
its products was sold within Eittland for its people and only a small
|
||||
portion became available for international market. Nonetheless,
|
||||
Eittlandic fish slowly built a reputation of quality and became sought
|
||||
after by Northern American and Western European elites. In 1895, fish
|
||||
and seafood exports represented 35.3% of Eittland’s exports.
|
||||
|
||||
In 1826, the country underwent a change in its government, going from
|
||||
an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. More details in
|
||||
[[file:./country.md#constitutional-monarchy][Constitutional Monarchy]].
|
||||
|
||||
*** 20th Century, World Wars, and Europe
|
||||
At the turn of the century, Eittland became an important hub of
|
||||
commerce between Europe and Northern America with its two major ports,
|
||||
Kóparvall and Tvinnár.
|
||||
|
||||
**** Women’s right to vote
|
||||
On August 22nd 1902, a billed written by the House of the People led
|
||||
by the Labourer’s Party is ratified by the High King. It gives women
|
||||
the right to vote in any election open to the Eittlandic people. On
|
||||
March 15th 1915, a second law written by the Labourer’s Party is
|
||||
ratified by the High King, giving women the right to be elected at the
|
||||
House of the People while noblewomen got the right to inherit the
|
||||
title of Jarl, making them eligible to the House of the Land. Quickly
|
||||
after, Kari Niallsdóttr became the first woman ever elected to the
|
||||
House of the People during the general election of September 1905,
|
||||
while Ása Sigríðsdóttr became the first woman to enter the House of
|
||||
the Land in 1934.
|
||||
|
||||
**** World War One
|
||||
When World War I started, Eittland stated their neutrality regarding
|
||||
the matter and continued business with any country willing to do so.
|
||||
The only Eittlandic deaths recorded were three voluntary men of German
|
||||
descent who went to mainland Europe in order to fight on Germany’s
|
||||
side. Two of them died during the battle of the Somme while one died
|
||||
of an unspecified illness.
|
||||
|
||||
**** 1920s and 1930s
|
||||
As it was largely unaffected by the Great War, Eittland became an
|
||||
important economic partner of the European countries affected by the
|
||||
war, especially in terms of reconstruction. This further cemented
|
||||
Eittland’s place in European economics. However, the country became
|
||||
affected by the Great Depression too. Some twenty thousand Eittlanders
|
||||
left Eittland at the time, fifteen thousand of them went to the
|
||||
United States while five thousands left for European countries such as
|
||||
Norway, Germany, the UK, or France. To this day, Chicago (Michigan,
|
||||
USA) is known for hosting the only significant Eittlandic population
|
||||
outside Eittland, and second-generation Eittlandic immigrants
|
||||
retained their Eittlandic nationality despite most of them never going
|
||||
to Eittland.
|
||||
|
||||
**** World War Two (1940-1944)
|
||||
In the years leading up to World War Two, Nazi Germany spent great
|
||||
efforts to develop a positive relationship with Eittland, mostly due
|
||||
to their fascination for ancient Nordic culture and Eittland being the
|
||||
only still pagan Nordic country. Eittland’s location would be also of
|
||||
great strategic importance in the Atlantic with such a central place,
|
||||
with the ability of acting as a relay between Northern America and
|
||||
Europe, or as a base of operations allowing for a much greater range
|
||||
of action. However, Eittland reaffirmed several times their will to
|
||||
remain neutral in any conflict. After war broke out in mainland
|
||||
Europe, the United Kindom, fearing Eittland joining the Axis, offered
|
||||
Eittland on January 23rd 1940 to join the Allies in order to not only
|
||||
benefit themselves from Eittland’s geographical advantages, but also
|
||||
avoid Germany to benefit from it. This proposal was once again
|
||||
refused, yet again due to Eittland’s will of staying neutral.
|
||||
|
||||
However, on April 3rd 1940, Germany launched a surprise naval invasion
|
||||
of Eittland, landing South of Hylfjaltr. This triggered an immediate
|
||||
military response from Eittland, fighting back as they could the
|
||||
German army. On the same day, Eittland called for help and joined
|
||||
almost immediately the Allies. Three days after the beginning of the
|
||||
invasion, British troops and ships arrived in Eittland, attacking the
|
||||
German army from the sea while Eittlanders attacked from land. The
|
||||
last German soldier surrendered on April 14th, eleven days after the
|
||||
beginning of the invasion. Eittland became then a base of operations
|
||||
of the Allies in the Atlandic, strengthening their position against
|
||||
German U-boats and other warships.
|
||||
|
||||
Fearing a similar fate awaited Iceland, Eittland suggested to the
|
||||
United Kingdom a preemptive occupation of the country by themselves.
|
||||
Thus, on May 10th 1940, the British and Eittlandic navies invaded
|
||||
Iceland, violating their neutrality. However, aside from diplomacy,
|
||||
this went without any incident, and while the British army left
|
||||
Iceland a year later, the Eittlandic army stayed for protection of the
|
||||
country.
|
||||
|
||||
Eittlandic ports played an important part in bringing US warships and
|
||||
war material to Europe, especially in the months leading up to D-Day
|
||||
and the different landings in the Mediteranean Sea.
|
||||
|
||||
**** Eittland-Iceland Alliance
|
||||
When the war ended in Europe and Iceland gained its independence, a
|
||||
referendum was held in both Eittland and Iceland regarding the
|
||||
potential unification of the two countries, as both were already close
|
||||
to one another both geographically and culturally. This however never
|
||||
came to pass, as it failed both in Iceland with 54% of the voters
|
||||
answering “no”, while 64% of Eittlandic voters also answered “no”.
|
||||
|
||||
The two countries still entered a close alliance, Iceland relying on
|
||||
Eittland for military protection while an economic alliance was made
|
||||
between both of them, inspiring the Schengen Area some decades later.
|
||||
It was thus possible for citizens of both countries to move freely
|
||||
between Iceland and Eittland and live in either country as any of its
|
||||
citizens would while goods could also be freely exchanged. Thus, in
|
||||
1965, Páll Jónsson became the firts Icelandic citizen elected to
|
||||
public office as the Town Master of Eldheim in Western Eittland.
|
||||
|
||||
**** Computer Sciences Pioneering
|
||||
Out of personal interest, the then Co-King of Ðeberget Ragnarr
|
||||
Sigurðsbróðr asked the Dean of the Royal University of Eittland to
|
||||
open as quickly as possible a lab focused on the development of
|
||||
computers and computer sciences. This accompanied a new law raising
|
||||
the annual budget allocated to universities in Eittland to 9% of the
|
||||
nation’s GDP. As the first lab grew in size and became more and more
|
||||
proeminent internationally, even becoming one of the leading
|
||||
laboratories along with MIT, Bell Labs and CERN, numerous other
|
||||
laboratories both public and private appeared in Eittland.
|
||||
|
||||
What is now known as the Internet is born of a mix of ARPANET, the
|
||||
American standard, and Skruggmál, the Eittlandic standard. Eittland
|
||||
also became the first country off the coast of the United States to
|
||||
become connected to the American continent. It also became the main
|
||||
relay between mainland Europe and Northern America with one third of
|
||||
internet connections between the continent going through Eittlandic
|
||||
servers in 2015, although this number is slowly getting lower, as new
|
||||
direct lines between Northern America and Europe are being laid.
|
||||
|
||||
Eittland became one of the first countries to pledge on a national
|
||||
level in 1989 to conform to the Unicode standard when it would be
|
||||
ready, which came in effect on the publication of the first version of
|
||||
its standard on October 1992. The Teknikráðuneyt, the Eittlandic
|
||||
Technology Ministry, remained a full voting member of the Unicode
|
||||
Consortium from 1991 to 2006 and from 2015 until today. It is through
|
||||
its lobby that the first version of the Unicode standard integrated
|
||||
runes, Eittland’s official alphabet, and compatibility with the
|
||||
=ISO-EI-1a= through =ISO-EI-5c= encoding systems as well as various
|
||||
non-standard encoding systems used by minor Eittlandic operating
|
||||
systems.
|
||||
|
||||
*** 21st century
|
||||
**** Eittland and the European Union (1994-present)
|
||||
Although it never applied for membership in the European Union,
|
||||
Eittland is still part of the European Economic Area as well as the
|
||||
Schengen Area, making it easy for European citizen as well as
|
||||
Eittlandic citizens to move freely in Europe. It joined these two
|
||||
organisations on their creation, in 1994 and in 1995 respectively,
|
||||
after signing both in 1992 and 1985 respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2008, due to the economic crisis and instability of the Eittlandic
|
||||
Krúna (*EIK*), discussions opened with the European Parliament to adopt
|
||||
the Euro. Brussels accepted the application in 2013 and the Euro
|
||||
became the official Eittlandic currency in 2015. Eittlanders have a
|
||||
ten years window to convert their Eittlandic Krúna in Euros, which
|
||||
will become the sole currency accepted in Eittland starting January
|
||||
1st 2026.
|
||||
|
||||
EU membership became an important debate topic in politics after the
|
||||
2013 in the Eurozone, however the government sent no official
|
||||
membership application to the European Union. Poll estimates paint
|
||||
mixed feelings from the Eittlandic people with only a thin margin
|
||||
putting either "yes" or "no" in front of the other when asked if
|
||||
people would like Eittland to join the EU, as seen below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
**** Internet and Computer Boom
|
||||
Eittland is home to some of the largest websites in the world,
|
||||
considered the European counterpart to the United States’ Sillicon
|
||||
Valley. Some of its best known websites are Raustr, a podcast and
|
||||
blogging platform often compared to a Facebook or VK alternative, as
|
||||
well as Sønmek, a video streaming and sharing platform compared to
|
||||
YouTube and Twitch.
|
||||
|
||||
An entire governmental department of the Teknikráðuneyt got assigned
|
||||
to developping and auditing the Linux kernel in 2011. Although it has
|
||||
no official name, it is often referred to as the *pengvinsstyrsamhald*,
|
||||
or *Penguins’ Batallion* in English. It was later integrated in a larger
|
||||
department dedicated to open source software in general.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2014, the Eittlandic government announced fully switching to free
|
||||
and open-source software on all levels of government. This became
|
||||
fully effective in 2016, with all software developed for the
|
||||
government changing their license to the GPL-3.0 or AGPL-3.0 licenses
|
||||
and their source code available on the Teknikráðuneyt’s website.
|
||||
|
||||
** Political Organisation
|
||||
*** Kingdoms and Monarchy
|
||||
While Eittland is a single country, it hosts two kingdoms: the Kingdom
|
||||
of Đeberget in the western part of the country, and the Kingdom of
|
||||
Hylfjaltr in its eastern part. This is due to a separation of the
|
||||
country in two halves during the reign of Eittlands second king
|
||||
Áleifr I when he realized the difficulties he and the following
|
||||
monarchs of the island would face trying to rule the country alone
|
||||
while the latter is almost always split in two by active volcanoes.
|
||||
Thus, while the two kingdoms operate very independently of each
|
||||
other --- each have their own policies on economics, education,
|
||||
industry, and so on --- they also operate in cooperation as the
|
||||
Eittlandic High Kingdom with the king of Đeberget at its head when it
|
||||
comes to common policies, such as military decision and internrational
|
||||
affairs.
|
||||
#+html: <ImgFigure src="/img/eittlandic/map-political.png">The Two Eittlandic States</ImgFigure>
|
||||
|
||||
This means that while both governments are independent of each other
|
||||
and are legally equals to each other, the western monarch is the one
|
||||
with the authority to decide on national actions after negotiations
|
||||
between them and the eastern monarch. This is reflected by the throne
|
||||
rooms found in official buildings such as the royal palaces where
|
||||
three thrones can be found: a central, very large throne surrounded by
|
||||
two other identical thrones, the right one for the monarch of
|
||||
Hylfjaltr and the left one for the king of Đeberget. Most of the time,
|
||||
both monarchs sit on their side throne, including when they meet each
|
||||
other as the monarchs of Hylfjaltr and Đeberget. However, when the
|
||||
monarch of Đeberget is meant to act as the High Monarch of Eittland,
|
||||
they step up to the central throne and then represent the country as a
|
||||
whole.
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of the reign of the High King, either through abdication or
|
||||
their death, his successor is enthroned within a month. Then, within a
|
||||
year, the new High King has to appoint a new monarch for Hylfjaltr.
|
||||
Traditionally, the new co-ruler is a brother of the current High
|
||||
Monarch, however history showed it could be sometimes an uncle, a son,
|
||||
a sister or even sometimes a daughter. When the eastern monarch either
|
||||
abdicates or dies, the High Monarch has a month to designate a new
|
||||
one.
|
||||
|
||||
Up until the 14th century, the monarch of Hylfjaltr was rarely the
|
||||
successor of the High Monarch. However, High King Ólafr I changed this
|
||||
tradition and created a new one. He named his brother and co-ruler
|
||||
King of Eittland and his son Prince of Eittland. From here on, the
|
||||
King (or occasionally the Queen) of Eastern Eittland was meant to
|
||||
become the new High Monarch of Eittland and make the Prince (or
|
||||
occasional Princess) the ruler of Hylfjaltr. Then, once the reign of
|
||||
the King ends, the Prince becomes the new High King and nominates a
|
||||
new King and a new Prince. This was done to ensure the upcoming High
|
||||
Monarch would be prepared in ruling the whole country by first ruling
|
||||
the state. If anything were to happen to the Prince or Princess of
|
||||
Eittland while the King or Queen of Hylfjaltr is on the throne, they
|
||||
would have to nominate a new heir among the other possible heirs
|
||||
possible for the late High Monarch.
|
||||
|
||||
When the High Monarchs steps up to the central throne, they may
|
||||
designate someone to fill in the role of the monarch of Đeberget for
|
||||
the time being. They can also authorize the monarch of Hylfjaltr to do
|
||||
so in case they are unavailable and someone needs to represent the
|
||||
country in front of foreign representatives. The last example was
|
||||
during the two last years of Eríkr IX’s reign from 1987 to 1989 when
|
||||
he could not act as High King due to his illness. While he did not
|
||||
abdicate, he authorized king Harald III to act as High King while he
|
||||
appointed his daughter and present-day High Queen Njall III as the
|
||||
acting monarch of Đeberget.
|
||||
|
||||
*** Regions and Jarldoms
|
||||
While each kingdom is ruled by a monarch and the country is ruled by
|
||||
the High Monarch, the kingdoms are divided into several kinds of
|
||||
subdivisions. The most common one is the jarldom, historically ruled
|
||||
by and still represented by a jarl during ceremonies. “Jarl”
|
||||
translates as “Earl” in English, and they were the nobles in charge of
|
||||
managing parts of the land in the name of the ruler.
|
||||
|
||||
#+html: <ImgFigure src="/img/eittlandic/map-provinces.png">Eittlandic Provinces</ImgFigure>
|
||||
|
||||
Some parts of the land are directly under the control of the crown,
|
||||
such as the districts of Đeberget and Hylfjaltr, which the ruler ruled
|
||||
without intermediaries. They are the private possessions of the family
|
||||
of the rulers.
|
||||
|
||||
On top of this the center of the island is divided in territories, one
|
||||
administered by the government of Đeberget and two by the government
|
||||
of Hylfjaltr. These territories are supposedly not inhabited by anyone
|
||||
and are currently natural parks. This is mostly where you can find the
|
||||
mountains and volcanoes of Eittland as well as its cold deserts.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the Last Royal Decree of 1826, jarls no longer rule their
|
||||
jarldom themselves anymore. Instead, a local elected government takes
|
||||
care of this role now.
|
||||
|
||||
*** Governments
|
||||
**** Monarchy and Things
|
||||
The first form of government created in Eittland revolved around
|
||||
Things (/þing/ in Eittlandic), assemblies of varying size occasionally
|
||||
created at various levels of the state to decide on important matters,
|
||||
with the Althing being the highest Thing to exist in Eittland. The
|
||||
Things allow at first any adult man to participate, but as the
|
||||
population grew some restrictions were put in place in order to limit
|
||||
the amount of participants. Only one man could represent a household
|
||||
starting from 982. Then, starting from 998, only jarls were allowed to
|
||||
the ruler’s Thing, and only ten jarls from each kingdom, elected among
|
||||
all the jarls from the same kingdom, would be allowed to attend the
|
||||
High Monarch’s Thing. These jarls would then act as representatives of
|
||||
the kingdom to the High King and his counsellors.
|
||||
|
||||
In 1278, the first formal ministry (or department) was created in the
|
||||
Ðeberget Kingdom, called a /Ráðuneyt/ (litt. “fellowship of
|
||||
counsellors”) with a /Ráðunautr/ at its head, to aid the King Hallþórr V
|
||||
Gunhildson’s in administering agriculture. The Hylfjaltr Kingdom soon
|
||||
followed, creating its own in 1283 by order of Eyvindor III
|
||||
Steingrímson. From then, ráðuneyts were created as needed with a
|
||||
growing number.
|
||||
|
||||
**** Constitutional Monarchy
|
||||
In 1826, fearing the revolutionary climate in mainland Europe, Ólafr V
|
||||
passed the appropriately named “Last Royal Decree” in 1826. This act
|
||||
put in place a new form of government based on the British monarchy.
|
||||
|
||||
The king transfers all the royal power from the rulers of Đeberget and
|
||||
Hylfjaltr to the House of the People and the House of the Land (the
|
||||
equivalent of the lower and upper Houses respectively). The House of
|
||||
the People is composed of men elected during general elections every
|
||||
eight years. It was decided for each jarldom and district, one
|
||||
representative would be elected plus another one for each percentage
|
||||
of the population of the kingdom the jarldom represents.
|
||||
|
||||
A similar system was created for jarldoms in order to replace jarls
|
||||
with locally elected governments, as well as the organisation of
|
||||
municipalities.
|
||||
|
||||
At first only male landowner of the Nordic Faith could vote and could
|
||||
be elected. In 1886, all men of the Nordic Faith got the right to vote
|
||||
and be elected in the general elections. In 1902, women gained the
|
||||
right to vote, and they gained the right to be elected in 1915. The law
|
||||
that allowed women to vote also made the authorities stop enforcing
|
||||
the restriction on the faith of the participants --- while the
|
||||
original texts of 1826 and 1886 were clear on the fact only men of the
|
||||
Nordic Faith were allowed to vote and be elected, women had no such
|
||||
restriction making it unclear if it only applied to women or if this
|
||||
restriction was revoked for everyone. Organizers of the next elections
|
||||
in 1905 chose not to enforce this religious restriction and ever since
|
||||
then. In 1998, Queen Siv I exceptionally used her powers of High Queen
|
||||
to pass a law to clarify this issue and formally make Eittland a
|
||||
non-religious country. This also removed the long unenforced ban on
|
||||
other religions in Eittland.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that while the rulers of Đeberget and Hylfjaltr have lost all
|
||||
their power with the “Last Royal Decree”, the High Monarch remained
|
||||
unaffected by the text though they act and are expected to act as if
|
||||
it were the case. To replace them, the eastern and western governments
|
||||
elect a single national representative meant to act as the head of
|
||||
both states instead of the High Monarch who now holds only a
|
||||
ceremonial position. However, it happens from time to time the High
|
||||
Monarch passes a law, although they only write down in the law already
|
||||
well established traditions, such as the ban on the religious
|
||||
restrictions for voters which had not been enforced for almost a
|
||||
century by that point.
|
||||
|
||||
Today, Ráðuneyts still exist, but their head is no longer designated
|
||||
by the monarch but by the head of the House of the People. Here is the
|
||||
list of Ministries that exist in Eittland in 2022:
|
||||
- /Bærráðuneyt/ :: Agriculture Ministry
|
||||
- Dæmaráðuneyt :: Justice Ministry
|
||||
- Erlendslandsráðuneyt :: Foreign Affair Ministry
|
||||
- Fræðiráðuneyt :: Education Ministry
|
||||
- Heilsráðuneyt :: Health Ministry
|
||||
- Konungdómráðuneyt :: Kingdom’s Ministry (State Affairs)
|
||||
- Náttúrráðuneyt :: Nature Ministry (including ecology)
|
||||
- Rógráðuneyt :: War Ministry
|
||||
- Teknikráðuneyt :: Technology Ministry
|
||||
- Kaupráðuneyt :: Economy Ministry
|
||||
- Vinnaráðuneyt :: Employment Ministry
|
||||
|
||||
With the separation of the State with its religious departments
|
||||
following the law of 1998, the /Heiðniráðuneyt/ (the Heathendom
|
||||
Department) became an entity separate from the Government. Its
|
||||
Ráðunautr used to be exceptionally appointed by the House of the Land,
|
||||
unlike the rest of Ráðunautrs.

* Eittland
|
||||
|
||||
Eittland (Eittlandic: /Eittland/, {{{phon(ɑɪʔlɑ̃d)}}}) is part of the family of
|
||||
Nordic countries and a member state of the Nordic Council, with a
|
||||
population of 31.5 millions as per the 2019 national census. It has a
|
||||
superficy of 121 km^{2}, making it the second largest island in Europe
|
||||
after Great Britain. Its capital Đeberget is the largest eittlandic
|
||||
city with a population of 1.641.600 in 2019. The island is naturally
|
||||
separated in two, its western and eastern sides, by a chain of
|
||||
volcanoes spawning on the separation of the North American and the
|
||||
Eurasian plates, much like its northern sister Iceland. Thus, its
|
||||
Eastern side covers 49km^{2} of the island and hosts 11.3 million
|
||||
inhabitants while the western side covers 72km^{2} with a population of
|
||||
20.1 millions.
|
||||
Eittland (Eittlandic: /Eittland/, {{{phon(ɑɪʔlɑ̃d)}}}) is a fictional Nordic
|
||||
country, made from the question /what if there was another island like
|
||||
Iceland that never got christianised?/. Eittland is both a
|
||||
worldbuilding and a conlanging project. Its language is derived from
|
||||
Old Norse.

** Spelling and pronunciation
|
||||
Eittlandic is written in two different alphabets: Modern Futhark, also
|
||||
known as the Eittlandic runes, and the Latin alphabet. Eittland saw
|
||||
some use of the Latin alphabet in the 13th and 14th century, but
|
||||
documents ceased to be produced with it until the 17th century, when
|
||||
immigrants from continental Europe brought this script with them and
|
||||
as commerce opened up with European countries again. Until a few
|
||||
decades ago, the Modern Futhark alphabet was the most popular alphabet
|
||||
in use in Eittland. But since the democratisation of the computer and
|
||||
smartphone, usage of the Latin alphabet saw a quick rise in
|
||||
popularity. According to some estimates, only 2% of Eittlanders used
|
||||
the Latin alphabet more often than the Modern Futhark alphabet in
|
||||
1920, while in 2020, 23% of Eittlanders primarily use the Latin
|
||||
alphabet.
|
||||
|
||||
Most letters are used the same way in Eittlandic as they are in most
|
||||
standard European languages, with a few additions that lack in the
|
||||
standard Latin alphabet, Just like Icelandic, Eittlandic still uses
|
||||
the letters «þ» and «ð» when using the Latin alphabet. These letters
|
||||
were already used in Old Norse but nether became deprecated, unlike in
|
||||
other Nordic languages such as Swedish or Norwegian, or other Germanic
|
||||
languages such as English. They represent the sounds {{{phon(θ)}}} and
|
||||
{{{phon(ð)}}} respectively; unlike Old Norse, these two sounds became
|
||||
distinct enough to constrast in some words, such as in /maðr/ (/man/) and
|
||||
/maþr/ (maths). You will also find vowels with acute accents. They used
|
||||
to represent long vowels, but due to sound changes, they are
|
||||
associated with a lower tone and generaly more lax vowel, as described
|
||||
below.
|
||||
|
||||
Aside from Standard Eittlandic, there is no standard spelling and the
|
||||
language is written generally phonetically, although there is a
|
||||
tendency to keep the spelling reflecting the historical pronunciation
|
||||
of words; i.e. when representing the vowel {{{phon(ɛ̀)}}}, Eittlanders will
|
||||
tend to write «á» when it comes from a historically long {{{phon(ɑ)}}} but
|
||||
«é» if it comes from a historically long {{{phon(e)}}}. There is also a
|
||||
tendency in dialects other than Standard Eittlandic to write
|
||||
word-final vowels, even if they are no longer pronounced, as in «posi»
|
||||
(Standard Eittlandic /pos/, meaning /seal/).
|
||||
|
||||
These are the letters used natively in Eittlandic:
|
||||
|
||||
#+begin_quote
|
||||
a b d ð e f g h i j k l m n o p r s t þ u v y z ø œ
|
||||
#+end_quote
|
||||
|
||||
All vowels, with the exception of «ø» and «œ», can bear an acute
|
||||
accent, extending the list with:
|
||||
#+begin_quote
|
||||
á é í ó ú ý
|
||||
#+end_quote
|
||||
|
||||
Most of these letters represent their standard phonological value, but
|
||||
a few don't. Here are some rules that will help you read Eittlandic
|
||||
phonetically:
|
||||
- «a» :: this is an unrounded, open back vowel {{{phon(ɑ)}}} in some
|
||||
dialects, or front {{{phon(a)}}} in some others
|
||||
- «á» :: this is an unrounded, mid open front vowel {{{phon(ɛ)}}} with a low
|
||||
or falling tone
|
||||
- «ð» :: this is a voiced dentad fricative {{{phon(ð)}}}, as in English “this”
|
||||
- «é» :: pronounced like «á»
|
||||
- «g» :: the most unstable letter in Eittlandic. When in contact with
|
||||
another consonant, it will be a standard voiced uvular stop {{{phon(ɡ)}}}.
|
||||
However, if it is a word-initial consonent immediately followed by a
|
||||
vowel or between vowels, it will be pronounced as a {{{phon(j)}}}. Lastly,
|
||||
if it is word-final and preceeded by a vowel, it is pronounced as a
|
||||
voiced velar fricative {{{phon(ɣ)}}}.
|
||||
- «í» :: this is an unrounded mid closed front vowel {{{phon(e)}}} with a
|
||||
low or falling tone. It contrasts with «e» wich is pronounced with a
|
||||
neutral or high tone
|
||||
- «j» :: this is the palatal semivowel {{{phon(j)}}}, as in German or other
|
||||
North Germanic languages
|
||||
- «ó» :: this is a rounded mid open back vowel {{{phon(ɔ)}}} with a low or falling
|
||||
tone
|
||||
- «p» :: in most places, pronounced as a voiceless bilabial plosive
|
||||
{{{phon(p)}}} as expected, unless before a «t» where it becomes a
|
||||
voiceless bilabial fricative {{{phon(ɸ)}}}
|
||||
- «þ» :: this is the unvoiced counterpart to «ð», the {{{phon(θ)}}}, as in
|
||||
English “think”
|
||||
- «ú» :: this is a rounded mid closed back vowel {{{phon(o)}}} with a low or
|
||||
falling tone. It constrasts with neutral or high tone «o»
|
||||
- «v» :: this is the voiced bilabial fricative {{{phon(β)}}}, unless when
|
||||
following an «h» in a word-initial position; in this case, «hv» is
|
||||
pronounced as a voiceless labialised velar approximant {{{phon(ʍ)}}}.
|
||||
- «y» :: this is the rounded front high vowel {{{phon(y)}}}, as in German /ü/ or French /u/
|
||||
- «ý» :: this is the mid front rounded vowel {{{phon(ø)}}} with a low or
|
||||
falling tone, contrasting with the neutral or high tone «ø»
|
||||
described below
|
||||
- «ø» :: is a mid front rounded vowel {{{phon(ø)}}}, like German «ö» or
|
||||
French «eu» in /deux/
|
||||
- «œ» :: this is a low, lax, frount rounded vowel {{{phon(œ)}}}, like French
|
||||
«eu» in «neuf», but with an additional low or falling tone
|
||||
|
||||
There are another three additional digraphs when it comes to vowels:
|
||||
- «au» :: this is a rounded mid open back vowel {{{phon(ɔ)}}} with a neutral
|
||||
or high tone, which contrasts with «ó»
|
||||
- «ei» :: this is one of the two diphthongs left in Eittlandic,

||||
{{{phon(ɑɪ)}}}

- «ey» :: this is the other diphthong left in Eittlandic, {{{phon(œʏ)}}}

** Consonant Inventory
|

/Under construction/
|
||||
Regarding Eittlandic's consonants, the two main changes from Old Norse
|
||||
other than changes in their pronunciation is the now differenciation
|
||||
between «þ» and «ð» where in Old Norse, the former was used
|
||||
word-initially while the latter was used in all other positions.
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, the «f» letter was used to represent both {{{phon(f)}}}
|
||||
word-initially and {{{phon(v)}}} in all other positions. In Eittlandic,
|
||||
voiced «f» {{{phon(v)}}} merged into «v» {{{phon(β)}}}. Therefore, the letter «f»
|
||||
is no longer used to represent {{{phon(v)}}} anymore; the letter «v» is
|
||||
instead used to represent both historical «v» and historically voiced
|
||||
«f».
|
||||
|
||||
Occasionally, the letter «h» may precede another consonant in a
|
||||
word-initial position, mainly «l», «r», and «v». These consonants
|
||||
become devoiced, with «hl», «hr», and «hv» becoming {{{phon(l̥)}}}, {{{phon(r̥)}}},
|
||||
and {{{phon(ʍ)}}} respectively.

||||
While most word-final vowels were dropped a few centuries ago, they
|
||||
still exist as underlying vowels that may affect the word's
|
||||
morphology. By default, when there is no final vowel for a noun, a
|
||||
dummy «i» is used to join the word with the definite morphene
|
||||
together. For instance, /dag/ (/day/), a word with no underlying vowel,
|
||||
which becomes /dagin/ in its singular accusative definite form. However,
|
||||
even if it is no longer present in its non-definite form, /sag/ still
|
||||
bears the word-final vowel «a» which appears in its definite form,
|
||||
such as /sagat/ (singular accusative definite form).

||||

||||

The original bitonal pitch accent of Eittlandic is thought to have

Western Eittlandic is currently going a phonological merge of the

English, therefore creating a word and place name meaning “lonely

this word is a compound of /Noreg/ (“Norway”) and /úlf/ (“dog-wolf”), the
