Keˑs̠mmi (meaning "our language") is a divergent Finnic language, descended from Proto-Finnic. Its main source of aesthetic inspiration is Toda.

It features a system of initial consonant mutations similar to Celtic languages and Biblical Hebrew.

Initial v becomes p, as in pïḍ "stream" <- virta
Medial l becomes alveolar retracted s̠ in native vocab, as in kas̠ "fish" <- kala
Vowel shifts and umlaut: swïx "kin" <- suku, ïpšn "I studied" <- Estonian õppisin, söwr "society" ~ seura
Begadkefat spirantization: t tt -> θ t etc.
