abstract	Vāgøgjaskt (or in English, Våg Islander) is a classical Germanic language once spoken in and around the Norwegian fylke of Sogn og Fjordane, as well as some populations in Hordaland and Sunnmøre. It gets its name from the isle of Vågsøy. Våg Islander is a Northwest Germanic language; belonging to the same primary branch as Old Norse, it has close ties to several nearby North Germanic languages. It is an inflecting language with traits similar to and complexity hovering around that of Old Norse. It distinguishes four cases in all forms and the vocative only marginally; it has a definiteness distinction only on its nouns, marked with special inflectional endings. Unlike the definite inflections found in Old Norse, the ones in Våg Islander are more fully merged with standard case endings. Vāgøgjaskt belongs to the same branch of North Germanic languages as Īsdalskt and Hrīmlendsk do, sharing a common developmental history that ended around 650AD. It has been influenced by Sámi languages to a certain degree: it has many loanwords from an unidentified Sámi source. This branch of Germanic languages is primarily characterised by their distinctive passive constructions and absence of distinct weak and strong forms of adjectives.
