Early form | |
Ravenish (endonym: tiudisko kieli; Ravenish: [tiu̯.dis.ko kie̯.li) is a Finno-Germanic sprachbund. It is the result of a prolonged contact among members of both groups after the Ravenish tribe, at around 400AD, migrated to what is now North Ostrobothnia. These connections slowly formed the modern language, which, under influence of Finnish for centuries, led to the complete replacement of the native grammar with that of Finnish.
Etymology
The language name derives from the same source as German Deutsch, þiudiskaz, with the second part coming from Finnish 'kieli'. 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.
