Language

Lençoèça is the most spoken language in Naleloospalakintula, a Germanic language said to be related to Old Norse. It's one of the few languages to retain the runic letter Þ. A language student from Fynulùc once said Lençoèça was a "language comprimising of Europe's finest contributions to language, but still kept it's Scandinavian charm". Quite a few natives agreed with this statement, though some do disagree, claiming it's fully Lençoèça and nothing else.

The language has an alphabet of 44 characters, including the two diphthongs. The alphabet is split into two due to it's length (the diphthongs are included in the consonants.

Vowels: a á à â æ e é è o ó ò õ ø u ú ù y ý ÿ

Consonants: b c ç d ð f j k l m n p þ q r s š t v w x z ž ig hå

The amount of letters has made it hard for overseas students to learn the language, with only a few non-Naleloospalakintulans fluent in the language.

English is the second most spoken language. Following the English occupation of the island, it was widely spread, and now most natives are bi-lingual in the official languages.

Sport

Football is the only major sport in the island, with sixteen teams shared between the two existing divisions.
