Olaf Minnesotan language
Olaf Minnesotan (Olav Minnesotansq) is a North Germanic language spoken primarily in St Olaf, where it is the official language. It is a daughter language of Danish.
Together with the Scandinavian languages as well as Faroese, Icelandic and some extinct languages it constitutes the North Germanic languages.
It evolved from Danish in the 19th century after the Olaftarian socially transgressive minority of Skjærhalden went to form its own society, ultimately forming the State of St Olaf in 1923. The first traces of the linguistic shape shift are found in the Olaftarian Order of Independence of 1878, in which the Olaf Minnesotans claimed land of current-day Kosma as its own.
"Wi swaeye pea et ban av ved, som wi skal eobe, hwad de e woes hoejtideliyt. I det yode, det bede oy vovaedeliye. Wi skal kaempe vo at avslutte uetvaediyhed, som woes bedstevaede hawde adwaet os. Sej skal wae’e woes." - Alan Tangerud, Olaftarian Order of Independence, 1878.
Translation: We do solemnly swear upon the child of peace that we shall conquer what is ours. In the good, the better and awful. We shall fight to end the injustice of which our grandfathers had warned us. Victory shall be ours.
