Conlanging for the real world.

Post by Wario Toad 32 »

I was think of making a language for Schlewig-Holstein which is a region of Northern Germany and Southern Denmark. It could also be called Jutland. I was think of making my Frisian Dialect the language of that region but have the language be a mix of Frisian, Low German, and Danish Dialects. The Language could also be spoken on the North and East Frisian islands of Germany and Holland. What do you think?

I prefer to not be referred to with masculine pronouns and nouns such as “he/him/his”.

Yeah this is the sort of stuff you can just do, it's easily justifiable historically if that is what you're asking

There is already a natural language/dialect that is about what you are talking about. It is called Petuh.

Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

Oh. I have a dialect that would probably be spoken somewhere close to that region.

Ain - /aɪn/ - 1
Twu - /tvy/ - 2
Trai - /tʀaɪ/ - 3
Far - /faɹ/ - 4
Feif - /faɪf/ - 5
Seix - /saɪks/ - 6
Sövën - /sœvən/ - 7
Ächt - /æxt/ - 8
Nüün - /ny:n/ - 9
Tön - /tœn/ - 10

Probably along the Dutch-German Border on the Frisian Islands

Why is Anglo-Frisian monophthongization not occurring (ain>ān)? If it's Ingaevonic this would be likely.
Is there a methods to the way that the umlaut is being applied? I thought seven was /sebbun/ in OE. Shouldn't it be /sœvun/ if anything? All the germanic that I know is the English and the barest OE
