Hælish is a North Germanic language spoken by about 1.3 million people, principally in and around Hæland. Communities of Hælish speakers are also found in Shetland, Orkney and the Faroe Islands. Minor Hælish-speaking communities are also found in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the United States, Canada, and Scotland. Along with the other North Germanic languages, Hælish is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples who lived in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. Hælish, together with Danish, derives from the East Norse dialect group. A more recent classification based on mutual intelligibility separates modern spoken Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish as "mainland (or continental) Scandinavian", while Hælish, Icelandic and Faroese are classified as "insular Scandinavian". Although the written languages are compatible, spoken Hælish is distinctly different from Norwegian and Swedish and nearly completely indistinguishable with Danish, thus the degree of mutual intelligibility with either is variable between regions and speakers.
