Finhamish is a West Germanic & Brythonic language spoken in Finham,Hālwegnēatgemearc. Descending from Proto-Hukranduic Finhamish has roots in both North Sea Germanic (the language spoken by the Angles) and in Old Welsh. Finhamish has around 2200 native speakers, with the small number being due to the already small size of the Finhamish ethnicity.
History
The Proto-Hukrandu People, also known as the Proto-Finhamish, originated in the south of the Jutland peninsula along with the rest of the Angles and would begin to see a number of raids by the Huns of Ukraine. These Huns would actually mix with the Proto-Hukrandu, there native Tengriism mixing with the Proto-Hukrandu's Paganism to create the blueprint for what would become Finhamish Faith, Bagitnonian Faith and Stoneleighen Faith. This mixing would also cause the Finhamish to distance themselves away from the Angles, and so when they arrived in England they easily adapted there Hun-influenced version of North Sea Germanic with the local Brythonic language, Old Welsh and give way to Proto-Hukranduic. Then the 'Great Migration' would begin, with disgruntled Proto-Hukrandus moving to what would become Baginton, Stoneleigh and Greater Finham, creating there own languages and cultures. Due to this migration those that stayed would've quickly evolved into the Finhamish, with there dialect of Proto-Hukranduic becoming Classical Finhamish. Classical Finhamish would stay relatively the same until the early 19th Century, when Finham was more exposed to English culture. Finhamish would become partially Anglicised, taking a good number of English loanwords. This would continue until eventually the main Finahmish aristocracy would change Finhamish, making most-nearly all- its words into reversed English (This was now Modern Finhamish). This was to preserve Finhamish for the next generation, so it would be easier to learn and speak in a world where english was becoming dominant. Despite most of its words being changed Finhamish kept most of its pronounciation of punctuation, like its plural conjugation.
Sample
Here is a sample of a Finhamish Shingon Buddhist prayer in Modern Finhamish:
Ho! Taerg Mother sselb em, sselb em ma! rouy rewop setaname hguorht lla eruatn, hguorht eht Rahcti, hguorht gnihtyreve no siht tenalp!
Oh! Great Mother bless me, bless me! Your power emanates through all nature, through the Cats!, through everything in this planet!
Pronounciation
Finhamish pronounciation varies through dialects, with the West dialect not saying any special sounds, like Doof (Food) would not be said with an oo sound, instead with a double o sound. The Eastern dialect does the oposite, with doof being said with the 'oo' sound. in the West ereht (there) would be said as e r e h t while 'aire' sound would be said in the Eastern dialect. In the Transitional dialect both of these occur, with some words having there special sounds aid while some would not. (Like ereht would be said in the western way but doof would be said the eastern way.)
Punctuation
The normal English punctuation is used in Finhamish, but there are actually two extra characters used for exclamation. Alongside the ! mark I (pronounced ee) is used and ma is also used. Eg Toidi ma = Idiot! Rahcti = Cat!.
Distribution
Finhamish is spoken in Finham, with it also having speakers in region of Stivichall like around Fred Lee Grove, which is due to it being a Finhamish territory up until the 18th Century.
Script
Finhamish was originally written in the Anglo-Saxon Futhark but would adopt the Latin script in the 1500s and then adopt the modern Finhamish Script.
