	Seggeynni is another conlang spoken in my far-future Antarctican conworld. It developed from language contact, when [[Kämpya]] speakers settled in lands where [[Thangha']] was spoken ~~(as well as other languages such as [[Habyela]] and [[North-East Antarctican]], which although unrelated to Thangha', form part of a Sprachbund)~~. Kämpya speakers were more technologically advanced than Thangha' speakers, and Kämpya was definitely the prestige language, forming the superstrate. Most of Seggeynni's vocabulary and grammar come from Kämpya. On the other hand, Kämpya speakers intermarried extensively with the Thangha' speaking community, and Thangha' has exhibited a very heavy substrate effect.

	The language documented here is spoken approximately a century after the initial migration. The vast majority of speakers are mixed-race descendents of Kämpya and Thangha' speakers. In addition to Seggeynni, almost all have a passive command of both Thangha' (still a common trade language in the region) and Kämpya (a liturgical language).
