Kalmar Languages (The Kalmar Union)

Danish is the usual working language of the Kalmar Union. This is due to the central role of Denmark in the union historically as well as the fact it is intelligible to several other national languages. It is taught as a second language in most of the member states.

The official languages of the Kalmar Union differ slightly to the official languages of the constituent nations:


 * Abernaki (Abernakriga)
 * Ais (Aismark)
 * Anglian (Anglia)
 * Danish (Denmark)
 * Estonian (Estonia, Saaremaa)
 * Faroese (Hordaland)
 * Finnish (Finland, Lade)
 * German (Denmark)
 * Götamål (Gothenland)
 * Icelandic (Iceland)
 * Karelian (Karelia)
 * Manx (Man)
 * Norn (Orkney)
 * Norwegian (Lade, Hordaland)
 * North Russian (Lade)
 * Passamaquoddy (Passamaquoddia)
 * Pomersk (Denmark)
 * Ranish (Denmark)
 * Sami (Lade)
 * Sveamål (Svealand)
 * Vinlandic (Vinland)
 * Welsh (Man, Ynys Mons)
 * Álengsk (Álengiamark)

Finnish, Sami, Karelian and Estonian are Ugrian languages distantly related to Hungarian. Manx and Welsh are Celtic languages. Pomersk, Ranish and North Russian are Slavic languages. Abernaki and Passamaquoddy are Algonquin languages with heavy Norse influences. Meanwhile Ais is an Leifian isolate.

The remainder (and by far the most widely spoken) are Germanic languages.

Below is a family tree of the Germanic languages showing their relationship and development.

†Essentially Vinlandic with a significant Central Algonquin vocabulary. ‡Essentially Vinlandic but with Southern Algonquin grammar and phrasing. ¶Álengsk with considerable Finnish vocabulary following large settlement in 1790s.
