And they missed Älvdalsk:  http://www.alvdalen.se/alvdalska/#vadaralvdalska - 
can't find anything in English, but it's an archaic Nordic language spoken by 
about 3000 people in north and central Dalarne, Sweden. Fascinating stuff, 
they have kept the þ and ð sounds,  nasal vowels,  four grammatical cases, 
other linguistic traits close to the Swedish/Norse of 1000 years ago. Enough 
differences to be called a language, and a written form is now being 
normalized.
I hope the extra glyphs in the below sample make it through:

Mienum an al få wårå um ollt an beller kum iug so ärer övdalskun til, sos weðå 
å ar kumið, war å ir noger å språkkartun, wen so mertjer yr åna, og um eð ir 
grąl attwið min enner, eld ir eð nogų lysa.
