| This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
| | '''Windermere''' is a conlang based on similarities between Hebrew and Mon-Khmer languages, such as final stress, minor syllables and overall head-initial syntax. |
| | |
| I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
| |
| II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
| |
| III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.
| |

| |
| | |
| '''Windermere''' is a language inspired primarily by Khmer and Hebrew but also draws from Irish, English, French, Estonian and [[User:IlL]]'s [[Tíogall]]. | |
| | |
| It is notable for its large vowel inventory with many diphthongs, and completely prefixing morphology.
