Borgarnesian is an extinct Albic language once spoken in Iceland. It is only attested in a single (but rather long) stone inscription (probably from the 9th century) that was found near the Icelandic town of Borgarnes (hence the name). The language shows features (such as the merger of neutral and aspirated stops) which indicate that it belongs to the West Albic branch.
