The Nielander language (Nylenska) is a North Germanic language of the West Scandinavian branch derived from Old West Norse and closely akin — indeed, almost indistinguishable except for the local accent — to modern Icelandic. Nielander is spoken in some rural areas of the Kingdom of Nieland within the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland and is preserved by Nielander separatists and academics. Nielander nationalists have made numerous efforts to re-introduce and re-establish the language within the autonomous region, culminating in the Nielander Language Act, 2005 that recognised Nielander as an official language of both Nieland and the United Kingdom as a whole.
