Verse:Tdūrzů/Knench

Knench /nɛnt͡ʃ/ (natively /ˈkʰnɔʁ̃nɪ/) is a divergent descendent of Canaanite spoken in Lõis Great Britain. It does not lose Semitic triconsonantal morphology, but it loses older Semitic conjugated verb forms in favor of a construction using the infinitive construct. Knench is the second largest Lõis British minority language after Welsh.
