Mmm... no _Ethnologue_ entry, but ovd is the code, isn't it?
There's another curiosity here, however: The request page suggests an autonym in runes, and the Wikipedia page about the language indeed says that runes were used for writing this language until very late, but nowadays the Latin alphabet is used.

The request [1] is for a North Germanic language [2] spoken in Sweden. There is no Ethnologue page about it, but there is SIL page [3], which indicates it's about a relatively new addition.
It's spoken by ~2000 people, but Sweden is one of the richest countries in the world and I am sure this language has a chance to become a valid encyclopedic language.
