old swedish? or gothic?

Since Icelandic belongs to the Western Scandinavic subgroup, together
with Norwegian (Old Norwegian and Landsmal/Nynorsk) and Faroese, the
closest continental language to Icelandic is Old Norwegian. They
share some phonetic innovations not found in Eastern Scandinavic
(Danish, Swedish, Gutnish).
