'''Lāgsmān''' is a Germanic language(specifically of the fictional South Germanic family) spoken by the nomadic Lagsmen, who freely roam the area between Varaždin, Graz and Szombathely, colloquially known as the ''Lāgsmānland''<ref>The Lāgsmānland is not a genuine nation-state, but the area is mostly united by ethnicity, culture and language, like Kurdistan. Of course, there are many who wish to see a Lāgsmānland nation-state, similar to Kurdistan, but the nationalistic sentiment is less widespread than Kurdistan. ''Kurdistana Azad!''</ref>. The endonym is a ''portmanteau'' of the Proto-Germanic word ''*hlaupanan'', "to leap"(also the root of German ''laufen'', to walk) and ''man'', from Proto-Germanic ''*manwaz''. | '''Lāgsmān''' is a Germanic language(specifically of the fictional South Germanic family) spoken by the nomadic Lagsmen, who freely roam the area between Varaždin, Graz and Szombathely, colloquially known as the ''Lāgsmānland''<ref>The Lāgsmānland is not a genuine nation-state, but the area is mostly united by ethnicity, culture and language, like Kurdistan.

The Lagsmen are usually quite pro-EU, because of the Schengen Area which, in modern times, allowed them to continue their traditional nomadic life across Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria. | |||

The main idea around this language is just to make a really goofy Germanic language without straying from that root. So in a way, its kind of like a jokelang, but I genuinely plan on fleshing the language out. | The main idea around this language is just to make a really goofy Germanic language without straying from that root.

===Orthography=== | ===Orthography=== | ||
There are currently two orthographies used to write Lāgsmān- the Ghrāßa orthography, supported by the Akādami Ghrāßa situated in Austria, and the Szumbaatal orthography, supported by the Akaadami Szumbaatal situated in Hungary. Ghrāßa is heavily influenced by [[w:German language|German]] orthography, whereas Szumbaatal is heavily influenced by [[w:Hungarian language|Hungarian]] orthography. | |||
Those who advocate for the Ghrāßa system, known as the ''Ghrāßarumuz'', claim that since Lāgsmān is a Germanic language, and also that other South Germanic languages such as [[Mudukris]] use a German-based orthography, they believe that Lāgsmān should also use a German-based orthography. | |||
Those who instead advocate for the Szumbaatal system, known as the ''Szumbaatalrumuz'', argue that as the majority of ethnic Lagsmen live in western Hungary, and that many learners of Lāgsmān as a second language are also Hungarian, Lāgsmān should accomodate for the majority and use a Hungarian-based orthography to minimise confusion among primarily Hungarian learners. | |||
In general however, the Ghrāßa system tends to be a bit more popular than Szumbaatal, with the Croatian Academy of Lāgsmān(''Akādami Gurvazkha Lāgsmān'', ''Akaadami Ğurvazka Laagsmaan'') officially using both. | |||

Lāgsmān is paroxytonic, so primary stress is placed on the penultimate syllable of a word. | |||

===Constituent order=== | ===Constituent order=== | ||
Lāgsmān is both an SVO and SOV language, depending on dialect and context. For example, in the Szubrun dialect of western Hungary, sentences tend to be formed as "''gu ğraasza eeter''"(cow-<small>PL</small> grass-<small>ACC</small> eat.<small>3SG</small>, cows eat grass), whereas the equivalent in the Ghrāßa dialect would be "''ghu ēter grāßa''"(cow-<small>PL</small> eat.<small>3SG</small> grass-<small>ACC</small>, cows eat grass). | |||
