'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''THEED-ish''; natively ''þe þiúske rarde'' /θə ˈθʲuːskə ra:[retroflex d]ə/; from Proto-Thedic {{recon|''þiudьskъ''}}) is a Germanic language which was historically spoken in parts of Southern Italy and Tunisia but is now mostly spoken by diaspora populations in North America and Brazil. It's from a fourth branch of West Germanic (i.e. not Ingvaeonic, Istvaeonic or Irminonic). Its speakers are called Thedes (''þiúsken''). {{PAGENAME}} is intended to have a pseudo-Irish and pseudo-Slavic aesthetic.
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (natively ''the glómsьke rarde'' [θˠə ɣɫˠoːmʲsʲkə ɾˠaːɖə]) is a Germanic language which was historically spoken in parts of Italy but is now mostly spoken by diaspora populations in North America and Brazil. It's classified as West Germanic in-universe, but forms a distinct group from what is called West Germanic in our timeline. Glommish is phonologically the most conservative Germanic language in Jarthe and is strikingly similar to reconstructed Proto-Germanic. Its speakers are called Gloms (''Glóme''). {{PAGENAME}} is intended to have a pseudo-Irish and pseudo-Slavic aesthetic.
 
In-universe German name: ''Glommisch''

==History==
 
Hasien Elь-Chuliédí (todo: Glommish pseudonym) was a somewhat controversial Simon Stevin-like figure who reformed the language, by essentially creating and promoting his own dialect of Glommish (which eventually turned into modern American Glommish dialects) -- he was a scholar of Germanic philology and invented coinages based on Old English and Old Dutch; he also published a dictionary of the ancient Langobardic language.

===Native script===
===Native script===
Thedish today uses an alphabetic writing system inspired by the Arabic script, written from right to left but with a Latin aesthetic. It was devised by Andrie Hóchenhym.
Glommish today uses the Latin orthography used in this article. It was devised by linguist Andrie Hóchenhym.


There was a traditional Roman orthography which was historically used in Italy; spelling was very unsystematic and there were sometimes many different glyphs for the same sound (for instance, at least five different glyphs are attested for ''þ''), and vice versa (e.g. final -i mostly denoted both palatalization and -''ie'', but -''ie'' was sometimes written -ii for disambiguation). In North Africa, the most common writing system for Thedish was the Arabic abjad. Today, the latter is used for ceremonial purposes.

Voiceless stops are aspirated unless after /s/, as in English and German.
Voiceless stops except ''th'' are unaspirated, as in Dutch. (In New York they are aspirated the same way as in American English.)
 
Final /b(ʲ) d(ʲ) g(ʲ)/ are most often devoiced: ''dag'' [dak] 'day'.
 
Word-final or preconsonantal /p(ʲ) t(ʲ) ts(ʲ) tʃ k(ʲ)/ undergo preaspiration, but not prevocalic /p(ʲ) t(ʲ) ts(ʲ) tʃ k(ʲ)/: e.g. ''nat'' [naht] 'wet', but ''nate hiár'' [natə çɑːr] 'wet hair'. Final ''t'' may be reduced to [h].

* Regressive voicing assimilation occurs in clusters of two or more obstruents, as in Slavic: ''tiúsdag'' 'Tuesday' is pronounced as if it were spelled ''tiúzdag''.
*Hard /θ/ is strongly velarized [θˠ~ðˠ]; the voicing alternation is conditioned by whether it is a stressed onset. Soft /θʲ/ may be [θ~ð].  
* /t̪ʰ tʰʲ/ are somewhat breathy aspirated stops [t̪ʱ tʱʲ]. They are affricates or fricatives when word-final and not retroflexed.
*Hard /ɾ/ is generally a retroflex approximant or flap. It retroflexes alveolars that follow it, as in Swedish and Norwegian; when this retroflexion happens, it compensatorily lengthens the preceding vowel.
*Hard /ɾ/ is generally a velarized retroflex approximant or flap. It retroflexes /n t̪ t̪ʰ d s/ that follow it, as in Swedish and Norwegian; when this retroflexion happens, it compensatorily lengthens the preceding vowel.
*Soft /ɾʲ/ may be [r̝] like Czech ''ř''.
* [dʒ] and [g] are allophones of /ʒ/ and [ɣ] used after /n/ which assimilates to [ŋ] before velar stops: ''jung'' [jʊŋg] 'young', ''junżer'' [ˈjʊ{{adv}}nd͡ʒəɹˠ] 'younger'.
*For younger speakers of Thedish in New York, the distinction between broad and slender is neutralized in labials and alveolars. Furthermore, slender t d n are pronounced as in Polish ć dź ń, and broad v is pronounced /w/.
* In accents that distinguish it, soft // may be [r̝] like Czech ''ř''. The Czech-ř pronunciation predominates in Connecticut and is often known as ''the konetekatske żírь'' 'the Connecticut buzz'.
*For younger speakers of Glommish in New York, the distinction between non-palatalized and palatalized is neutralized in labials and alveolars, except for labials before back vowels where palatalized labials become /Cj/: ''biar ik'' [bjaɹ ɪk~bjɛɹ ɪk] 'I carry' vs. ''bierier thú'' [bɛɹəɹ tʰʊ] 'you carry'. Furthermore, palatalized t d n are pronounced as in Polish ć dź ń, /ʃ tʃ ʒ/ are pronoounced as /ʂ tʂ ʐ/, and non-palatalized v is pronounced /w/. Dental stops are pronounced as alveolar, ''t'' and ''th'' are merged, and posttonic intervocalic ''d'', ''t'', and ''th'' are flapped.

There are five phonemic vowel qualities with length. '''y y''' can be considered non-palatalizing allophones of '''i í'''.

*For the masculine genitive singular, ''-es'' is used if the final consonant is ''t, d, s, z, th'' or their soft counterparts. Otherwise ''-s'' is used.
*For the masculine genitive singular, ''-es'' is used if the final consonant is ''t, d, s, z, þ'' or their soft counterparts. Otherwise ''-s'' is used.

=====Possessive pronouns=====
To form possessive pronouns, "determiner" endings are added to the genitive of the personal pronouns; the stems of ''unsier'' and ''úrer'' become ''unsь-'' and ''úr-'' when a suffix is added. The reflexive ''sín'' is used to refer to a third person subject in the same clause, while ''jaz'' or ''jar'' refer to 3rd person subjects other than the subject.

The standalone negator ''nie'' (''nié'' when stressed) and negative verb forms with ''n-'' (from Proto-Germanic *ne) remain in use in poetry:

This defective verb from Proto-Germanic ''*unnaną'' 'to grant' is only used in the past subjunctive, for example in construction ''Mir ándie...'' 'I would like...'.

{{PAGENAME}} word order is V2 but is more similar to Icelandic than German.
{{PAGENAME}} word order is V2 but is more similar to Icelandic than German. German-style SOV is considered poetic.


:'''''Fanь ik vakse up, ví ik biegrán ne lyriernie.'''''
:'''''Fanь ik jém már, ví ik biegrán ne lyriernie.'''''
:''When I grow up, I want to become a teacher.''
:''When I grow up, I want to become a teacher.''
:(German: Wenn ich groß bin, will ich Lehrerin werden.)
:(German: Wenn ich groß bin, will ich Lehrerin werden.)
Pronoun objects precede infinitives; nominal objects follow them.
: '''''Sí kán fádien the map. / Sí kán jan fádien.'''''
: She can feed the boy. / She can feed him.
: (German: Sie kann den Jungen ernähren. / Sie kann ihn ernähren.)
Dative pronouns bind more tightly to ditransitive verbs than accusative pronouns:
: '''''Ik [[żave jam] jan]. / Ik kán [jan [jam żaven]]. / Ik kán [[jam żaven] the kempiúter].'''''
: ''I'm giving it to him. / I can give it to him. / I can give him the computer.''
: (German: Ich gebe ihn ihm. / Ich kann ihn ihm geben. / Ich kann ihm den Computer geben.)
In modern Glommish, phrasal verbs are always separated, except in derived agent and verbal nouns. Colloquial Glommish does so even in agent and verbal nouns derived with -erь and -eng, using the borrowed English construction ''VERB-erь/-eng PREP-erь/-eng'' (cf. English ''fixer-upper''). Only the second suffix takes declension inflection.
: '''''húżen út'''''
: 'to express'
: '''''úthúżeng'''''
: 'expression'
: '''''húżeng-úteng'''''
: (''colloquial'') 'expressing'
===Negation===
===Negation===
The negative particle is ''yncz'' (pronounced /ɪntʃ/ or /əntʃ/) and is used like negative particles in typical Germanic languages.
The negative particle is ''yncz'' (pronounced /ɪnʃ/ or /ənʃ/) and has the same syntax as ''nicht'' in German independent clauses.


:'''''Drincz þe vatie yncz, er isь fúl!'''''
:'''''Drincz the vater yncz, er isь fúl!'''''
:''Don't drink the water, it's dirty!''
:''Don't drink the water, it's dirty!''


===Possession===
===Possession===
Usually the genitive is placed after the noun: ''þí żáve míns fadiers'' 'my father's gift', but genitive before noun is acceptable too when the noun is definite and animate: ''míns fadiers żáve''.
Usually the genitive is placed after the noun: ''thá żáve míns fadiers'' 'my father's gift', but genitive before noun is acceptable too when the noun is definite and animate: ''míns fadiers żáve''.
 
For "have", in addition to using ''hán'' 'to have' like other Germanic languages, one can use an Arabic-influenced construction ''At mir sinь tvy sunie.'' "I have two sons."


For "have", in addition to using ''hán'' 'to have' like other Germanic languages, one can use a construction similar to Irish: ''Et sinь at mír tvy sunie.'' "I have two sons." (lit. There are two sons at me, like Irish ''Tá dhá mhac agam'')
The construction "et finsь" (there is) can take nominative or accusative objects.


===Passive===
===Passive===
The passive can be formed by using either ''piamen'' 'to come' or ''niamen'' 'to take', followed by the past participle of the verb. The two choices of auxiliary are in free variation.
The passive can be formed by using either ''piamen'' 'to come' or ''niamen'' 'to take', followed by the past participle of the verb. These have the participles ''piumen'' or ''niumen'' when used as auxiliaries. The two choices of auxiliary are in free variation.


For example, ''Þe káke piám jaten.'' or ''Þe káke niám jaten.'' means 'The cake was eaten.'
For example, ''The káke piám gejaten.'' or ''The káke niám gejaten.'' means 'The cake was eaten.'


Or, one may use the impersonal pronoun ''sum'' as the subject. This is used when the object is behind a preposition and hence the verb cannot be passivized.

Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
