Phonology

Old Norsian Phonology

Norsian phonology is quite simple

It contains around 20 sound of consonants like m,p,b,f,v etc. W isn't an independent letter here, it's just a variant of letter u when it's used in diphthongs. It has classic sounds that you see very often in German like /ç/ and /x/, there's also sound developed from Celtic which is fl /ɬ/ used in loan words or in later words which are new and that didn't exist in Old Norse, every soronant has it's voiceless equivalent when it's near a voiceless sound or when the h is next to it

Something pretty exclusive to the language is devoicing of j in sj /j̊/ which is not a same sound like swedish sj /ɧ/; in soon dialects it won't be really kept on because some dialects can drop j and think of i as both /i/ and /j/ like in Latin

It has really interesting vowels (17 of them) that change on their placement like a,å and æ turning into /ə/ sound in CC_C sequence; another thing which is œ /ʉ/ which changes into /ʊ/ if it's between two consonants; now both æ and e get change into shwa (ə) sound on the end of a word.
