Ravenish (autoglossonym: þiudiskon; Ravenish: [θiu̯.ðiʃ.køn]) is a Germanic language, with strong influence from Finnish. It is the result of a prolonged contact among members of both groups after the Ravenish tribe migrated to the area that is now North Ostrobothnia. These connections slowly formed the modern language, which, under influence of Finnish for centuries, led to the innovation of several new forms, such as a conditional verb form and definiteness distinctions in nouns.
While its vocabulary derives for the most part from Proto-Germanic, Finnish influence is most notable in its phonology and its grammar.
Etymology
The language name derives from the same source as German Deutsch, þiudiskaz. The English name is in reference to a cultural aspect of the people, their unusually large reverence for Ravens, they place an oddly high importance on Ravens even for a Germanic tribe.

Phonology

Consonants
Consonants have remained relatively close to Proto-Germanic, except for the few stops that had fricative allophones, these shifted fully to fricatives, the opposite of all other Germanic langs, the Velar fricatives also shifted to Uvular.
| Labial | Dental | alveolar | post- alveolar |
palatal | Velar | Uvular | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | m | n | (ŋ̊) | |||||||||||
| Stop | p | t̪, t̪ʷ | k, kʷ | |||||||||||
| Fricative | f | v | θ | ð | s, sʷ | z | (ʃ) | (ʒ) | χ, χʷ | ʁ, ʁʷ | ||||
| Approximant | w | l̥ | l | j | ||||||||||
| Trill | r̥ | r | ʀ | |||||||||||
Vowels
Vowels divert from PG more than the consonants, they've shifted closer to Finnish, also gaining harmony from Finnish.
Prosody
Stress
Stress, like in PG, still lies solely on the first syllable unless prefixed, where stress moves with the root word.
