Westlandic

The Wessen Language (Wessen: Weseax Gepiodd) is a minor language spoken in Wessex. Mostly influenced by a revival of Old English, which was spoken at the time of the former Kingdom of Wessex in the 10th Century. Proposed by Wessen Nationalists as 'the modern language of Wessex,' in the early 1970's, however this has been dismissed due to the impractability of the concept.
