==== Notes on Rakki (my favourite language) ====
* Rakki resembles many modern Nordic languages. It contains some special letters, namely ä/æ, å/aa, ö/ø, ð and þ. This makes it somewhere between Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Faroese and Icelandic - if you factor in dialects, you can just choose whichever you like more.
* In Rakki, similarly to the distinction between modern Nordic languages, æ, aa and ø can often be interchanged with ä, å and ö. This usually related to which dialect you were speaking.
* Old Rakki is much the same as above, but without further sounds shifts (sj, sk, k sounding like h, w and sh). The most notable difference is that the letters á, í, ú and ý were only found in Old Rakki, whereas the letters ä and ö were only found in modern Rakki.
