  1. Modern #Icelandic is another Nordic vernacular that would be much easier to understand for Scandinavians if it weren’t so innovative(!) in its phonology and puristic in its new derived vocabulary. Also this is often misrepresented in stating that “strange Scandinavian dialect X” must be mutually comprehensible with Icelandic because both sound “old” (read rather “strange”).
    Yet, unlike #Närpesiska, and unlike any ”Dialect X” except #Övdalian, Icelandic is indeed very archaic in morphology.
