Ostlandic language

The Ostlandic or Ost (in Ostlandic: Ostsk sprek, pronounced ['ostsk spr'ek]) is the official language of Ostland a Minoritarian language on Norway. It is a Germanic - Nordic language with Uralic (Finnish) influence,with English and Russian minimal loans.

Prehistory (1160 - 1200)
The Ostlandic began to form from 1404 properly, but before that, a group of Indo-Europeans arrived on the Island and together with the Natives of the Island, a nordic dialect of the Proto-Indoeuropean language was created.

Proto - Ost (1200 - 1800)
From 1198, the first Norwegian explorers arrived on the Island and with it, the Latin Alfabero and the Norwegian Language, from which the Ost would derive. Two years later, more explorers arrived from Norway, followed by a group of conquerors, who ended up making the Islands of Ost a Norwegian colony.

The Indo-European dialect that had settled on the island was preserved by the residents for almost a century, but before the imposition of schools in Norwegian and the Viking pressure, they made the Natives and Residents begin to try to speak the Norwegian, but it resulted in a kind of mixed dialect. Due to this, the Norwegians declared that the Dialect of the Islands of Ost, would be an official Norwegian dialect, and this Declaration lasted until the Independence of the Ost Islands of Finland and therefore, the Unification of Ost as a language.

Finnish Ost (1800 - 1850)
After the Islands of Ost separated from the Norwegians, the Finnish went in Plan of Conquest to the Island.

This arbitrary conquest of the Islands of Ost generated many Finnish influences in the Ost. The Influences settled and continued to be generated for 46 years, when after a Battle between the Ost / Norwegian Army and Finland, the Finnish retreated and the Islands of Ost were unified as an independent Republic.

Modern Ost (1810 - present)
The Ostlancid Language we know so far has been almost the same since 1810, since that date very few "evolutions" and grammatical changes have been made, but the most notorious occurred in the mid-1980s when a group of Russian Soviets arrived with the end of that Ostland would be part of the Soviet Union, an objective that would not be achieved, but if a few loans and Slavic influences were achieved in the Ost language.

Ost words

Ost Language Terms are variations or loans of other languages: Very few words in the Ost language are "own" or "not directly derived".

Ost grammar
Grammar in the Ost language is the same as in the Norwegian language. When the Academy of the Ostlandic language made the Written form of the language (Days after its foundation, in 1831), it used the Norwegian grammar as a base and in the final product, no changes were made, making the Ost and Norwegian really mutually intelligible.

The Finnish contributions to the language are of Terms, because during the Period of the Finnish Ostland, the people did not take root to the Finn nor to its grammar, but to many foreign terms or not very known in the Island (Technical Names, foreign words, Regionalisms, among others)
