View source for Evonish

'''Evonish''' (subject to constant renaming) is a constructed language (for a possible constructed world) mostly limited to my day dreaming and notebooks.  It is a-posetriori and influenced primarily by (West) Germanic, (Insular) Celtic, and Russian. Its phoneme inventory is based on [[w:General American pronunciation|General American phonology]]. The wordstock has many influences of [[w:Germanic languages|Germanic languages]], [[w:Celtic languages|Celtic languages]], [[w:Slavic languages|Slavic languages]], and some [[a priori]] vocabulary.

Imagine Germanic tribes such as the Anglo-Saxons and the eastern gathering together with Celts and sailing the Baltic Sea. They landed near modern day Saint Petersburg where they established their own nation-state, absorbing some northern Russian groups.
