Fingallian

Fingalian is an extinct language spoken by the people of Fingal, an area to the north of Dublin. Similar to Yola language. The languages are often referred to as a single language "Yola and Fingalian", both of which became extinct in the mid-1800's.

Fingalian is usually regarded as a dialect of Old English. On the other hand, it could be a vestige of the Old Norse spoken by the Viking settlers of Fingal.
