Jyglagi

From Linguifex

This is a conlang created to be spoken by a fictional people group located in the eastern seaboard of England called the Jyglagis.

The language's creation was headed by my first found intrest in linguistics in the 6th grade. At first it was to be a fusion of Latin and some Germanic languages. Over time I dropped that idea, and moved to Welsh and Swedish.

The next and final iteration was an ancient Scottish tribe that spoke a language isolate. They fled to Wales, and formed a creole, and they then left Wales for other lands. Most made it to eastern England.

After the formation of the Kalmar Union, a Swedish resistance group rebelled against the government, and the remaining rebels fled to England.

The then Jyglagi language then fused with Swedish to make the current one.

It also has it's own writing system, developed from a writing system believed to be derivative of Ogham. It has later been influenced by Latin Scripts.
